I signed a contract to save my family. One that ruins my life and freedom. One year. No love. No expectations. No questions. Just wear the ring. Smile for the cameras. And pretend to be Mrs. Adrian Stone, the billionaire tech tycoon with ice in his veins. He said I was nothing but a formality. A clause in his inheritance deal. But when the cameras go off and the world stops watching… He’s still cold. Still distant. Still impossible to read. I told myself I’d play my part and walk away. But how do you stay heartless when you’re married to a man who has everything. Except for the one thing he doesn’t want to feel? This isn’t the fairy tale I imagined. But it might be the story that changes everything. Because while he’s trying not to fall… I’m learning how to rise.
