Summary
“Don’t you know by now that I adore you?” He mutters into your ear.
—
You’re desperately in love with a man who already belongs to another.
All you’ve ever wanted was to love and be loved. But as the only person to ever be born without a soulmate, you know nothing about what that really means.
The universe itself cursed you to never know the deepest and truest love there is for a reason. Because you're unworthy. And you can't pretend otherwise forever. After all, everyone will always choose truth over your lies. Why should Sylus be any different?

(Story is the slowest of slow burns until the midpoint with communication issues and Reader gaslighting herself into feeling more pain).

Summary
“Well,” he said, voice low, unreadable, almost teasing. “This is a surprise.”
You swallowed the knot in your throat and turned around, not because you wanted to face him—but because the weight of his presence demanded it.
“Not really,” you tried to sound breezy. Light. Detached. “I was just dropping something off—”
Click.
The sound of the lock sliding into place was too deliberate. Too calm.
Zayne shrugged off his lab coat. The stark white fabric fell in slow motion over the back of the chair, and then he rolled his shoulders—tight, tired, tense. You watched his fingers unbutton his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves slowly, with practiced ease.
Curtains drawn. Room dimming. Silence folding over itself.
“I sincerely hope,” he murmured as he walked toward you, past you, pulling each curtain shut until the room felt private, secretive—dangerous, “it’s not another envelope.”
OR
An arranged marriage built on silence unravels into a love loud enough to echo—where a repressed heart finally claims what was always his.
