Aria married Julian knowing love was never part of the deal. The marriage was arranged, practical, and built on expectations rather than affection. Aria accepted the coldness, believing patience could turn duty into love. But when Julian decides he wants another woman, Aria finally understands the truth: waiting has cost her years of her life. Before walking away for good, Aria makes one last request—to live as Julian’s real wife for one month. No distance. No silence. No pretending they are strangers. Julian believes the request is harmless. Temporary. Something Aria will regret asking for. But as the days pass, Julian begins to see the woman he ignored, the love he took for granted, and the marriage he destroyed with his own hands. When the month ends, Aria is ready to leave for good. This time, Julian is the one begging. But regret does not always arrive in time.

Drugged and disoriented, I fell into the arms of a man I didn't know... only to realize later that the "stranger" was Matthew Howard himself. He wasn't the "ugly, impotent" man the rumors promised; he was something much more dangerous.I’m done being a pawn in their games. Between my father’s greed and the Howards' suffocating arrogance, I’ve been backed into a corner and now, I’m fighting my way out.The marriage was a lie, but my revenge will be very real.
