Viktor thought he knew me like the back of his palm, not realising that even the softest of skin has layers. He killed my brother and thinks he can go scot free? Never! He will pay, and the price is his sweat and blood. A marriage would suffice. My surest plan to break him starts from infiltrating his home, and I, Arya Petrova, would be the least person he expects. This contract marriage between us, is nothing but a ploy—a way to avenge my brother’s death and my family’s fall from grace. Yet he seems so different, this marriage isn’t what I expected. I wanted revenge, but he shows me love, and it softens my heart, unlocking a secret part of me. Then I remember: this is Viktor, the one who wrecked my childhood with his darkness. A bad apple can never be good, so falling for Viktor must be annulled. Not just for me, but for my brother lying six feet under.
