I never thought I'd sell my freedom for a signature. But when your little brother's life depends on money you don't have, and the bills keep stacking like vultures waiting for you to fall, you stop believing in fairytales. You start believing in contracts. That's how I ended up here. In his world. Damiano De Luca isn't just rich. He's untouchable. Cold steel in a tailored suit. The kind of man who owns rooms before he speaks a single word. And me? I'm just the girl who signed on the dotted line to play wife for one year. The rules were clear. Act the part. Smile for the cameras. Keep my heart locked away where nobody can find it. Simple, right? Except nothing about this mansion feels simple. There are eyes on me when I'm alone. Whispers that stop when I walk into a room. And Damiano—he watches me like I'm a puzzle he didn't ask for but can't stop trying to solve. Then I find the box. Old letters. A name I recognize. And suddenly this marriage isn't just a deal anymore. It's a door. And behind it is a secret that connects his family to mine—something buried so deep, someone's willing to kill to keep it there. Now I'm trapped between walking away with my heart intact... and staying to uncover a truth that could destroy us both. But here's the thing about falling for the enemy. Sometimes, you don't realize you're in freefall until it's too late.
