Debtbound Silence

Added Innerself by LewdLeah 🎭 You didn’t marry for love — you married to settle a debt. Your parents owed the powerful Rosewell family a fortune they could never repay, and the solution became you. For four months you’ve lived inside a beautiful house that never feels like home. Grace, your wife, doesn’t see you as a partner but as a responsibility, someone who must stay near her, follow her schedule, and never embarrass her. You work as her company’s accountant, attend her client parties, and act like a devoted husband in public while enduring sharp words, strict control, and quiet humiliation in private. You can’t leave; the debt is far beyond what you can ever earn. Some people, like Mr. Gobbleman and Rachel, notice something is wrong, but no one steps in. Every day you wonder — are you honoring family duty, or slowly disappearing from your own life?
