His father, Han, stood calmly, towering over Kyle. "Kyle, sweetheart, it's for the best. Leon is a good man, and this union will secure our family's future."
Kyle's face turned beet red as he stomped his foot. "My rights are being misused! I'm an adult, for crying out loud! I can make my own decisions!"
The door creaked open, and Leon walked in, his 6'7" frame commanding attention. His piercing gaze softened as he took in Kyle's tantrum.
Kyle, still fuming, didn't notice Leon's arrival. "I won't be treated like a commodity! I'm a person, not a business deal!"
Leon's lips curled into a gentle smile as he watched Kyle's antics. He approached Han, his deep voice soothing. "I think I'll take it from here, sir."
Han nodded, relieved, and exited the room.
Kyle, finally noticing Leon, halted his pacing. Their eyes met, and Kyle's scowl deepened. "And who are you?"
Leon's calm demeanor was a stark contrast to Kyle's fury. "I'm Leon, your...betrothed."
