She never asked to be part of his world.He never intended to let her stay in it.Forced into a marriage she didn’t choose, she finds herself bound to a man who has everything—wealth, power, control—but none of the warmth she needs. To him, she is a consequence of a past mistake. To her, he is the reason her life stopped being her own.Coldness fills their home, and silence becomes their language. But beneath the anger and distance, something begins to shift—something neither of them planned for and both of them try to resist.As buried truths slowly surface, she begins to see cracks in the armor of the man she hates. And he starts to realize that the greatest loss in his carefully built life might not be business or pride—but her.In a world built on power and regret, love becomes the most dangerous consequence of all.
