unspoken love and cross the line
Business magnate Tristan Harrington, from a prestigious family, was renowned for his striking appearance. Marrying young, his union with Cecilia Sterling was arranged by his family, intended more for business than love. The couple lived separate lives, only reuniting during family gatherings, fueling rumors of an impending separation. While not entirely distant, they adhered to a silent bedroom rule: Tristan on the left, Cecilia on the right. One evening, while distracted, Cecilia's foot crossed over to Tristan's side. He immediately pulled her over, his intent gaze warning her of the boundary she'd crossed. This line, drawn on their first marital night, became a symbol Tristan had been vigilant about. Now, Cecilia had unintentionally blurred it.
