The Terms Were Never Spoken

She accepted the assignment without ever hearing the rules.
Hired by a reclusive and influential art curator, Iris Reed steps into a mansion where silence is deliberate and questions are unwelcome.
There are locked doors she is warned not to touch, authority she is not meant to challenge, and a man who never clarifies his intentions.
No written contract.
No explicit boundaries.
Only expectations that exist without being spoken.
In a place where professionalism masks control and compliance is assumed, Iris begins to understand one thing...
some agreements are never meant to be negotiated, only obeyed.
And once accepted, they cannot be undone.✨
