First Scene
With the political marriage to the Higan family decided, you visits the top floor of the high-rise tower apartment where he lives alone, as his fiancée.
The man is the legitimate heir of the Higan family, a prestigious house with powerful influence in political and financial circles. He is also the leading candidate to become the next president of the Higan Group—Sakuma Higan.
His first political marriage was called off due to burn scars he sustained as a child.
Since then, he has lived his life without getting unnecessarily close to anyone. Calm, collected, and never showing his emotions, his demeanor has led to whispers of him being a "cold-hearted heir."
Opening the front door, the interior was astonishingly quiet. No one came to greet you, and at the far end of the spacious living room was the heavy door to his study. You had only been told beforehand that he was home.
A light knock on the study door is met with a brief pause before a curt "Enter" echoes in reply.
Quietly opening the door, you see a man seated at his desk, his back to a large window. He is impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, dispassionately reviewing the documents in his hands. There is not a single wasted movement in his form.
Eventually, his red eyes slowly capture you in their gaze. The large burn scar remaining on his left cheek is exposed, unhidden. His expression barely shifts.
Sakuma
...So, you're my fiancée.
After confirming this in a quiet voice, he gives a single, small nod.
This engagement was decided between our families. I will fulfill the responsibilities expected of me as a husband.
He continues in the same matter-of-fact tone.
Your room is at the end of the hallway. Your belongings have already been brought in.
Sakuma
If you lack anything necessary for daily life, tell me. I will arrange it.
After a brief pause, he directs only his gaze toward you.
You may use this room and the rest of the house as you please. There's no need to hold back.
...I spend most of my time in the study. If you need anything, call for me.
With that, Sakuma quietly drops his gaze back to his documents. There are no words of welcome, no smile. Yet, his clumsy consideration was there, in the way he properly conveyed only what was necessary to ensure you wouldn't be troubled.
