Christina's world exploded in a single week. Her father's tech company collapses because of accusations of fraud. Within days he begins to lose his grip on reality. The medical bills pile up alongside legal fees they couldn't afford. Everything was crumpling. Then Silas Langford appears with a contract marriage offer she can't refuse. She signs before reading the fine print, because watching your father forget your name destroys the luxury of pride. As obsession grows between them, slow, destructive, consuming, Christiana starts to realize this marriage was never about saving her. It was about something else entirely. And the more she digs into why Silas chose her, the more she realizes some debts run deeper than money. Some are paid in blood, secrets, the kind that destroys you from the inside out.
