I was never meant to be his wife.But when his mother demanded it—and mine agreed—I became the sacrificial bride in a deal forged long before I was born.Cassian Voss, the billionaire everyone fears, didn’t want me. He had a fiancée. A future. A heart he claimed had died with betrayal.Now, I wear his ring… and his wrath.He punishes me for the past, one I don’t understand. He touches me with ice in his eyes. He keeps secrets in locked drawers and stares at me like I remind him of something he can’t forgive.But I’m not the girl who’ll break quietly.Even when his cruelty bruises more than just my skin.Even when I lose something I never even had the chance to love.There’s something between our mothers they never told us.And I’m starting to wonder if I was forced into this marriage to protect a legacy…Or to silence the truth forever.
