As a child, she was involved in a tragic accident that left another girl, Sophia, fighting for her life. But a powerful, heartless billionaire had a deal to make, one that would change everything. In exchange for Sophia’s heart, her life would be traded away so that Venessa, dying from a congenital heart defect, could survive.

But when Alex, a charming yet cold billionaire, entered into a contractual marriage with her , things start to unravel. Venessa is swept up in a romance with the man who, unbeknownst to her, is the son of the man responsible for her father’s untimely death.

In a tale of passion, secrets, and vengeance, Venessa and Alex must navigate a twisted fate neither of them ever saw coming. Will love conquer all, or will the truth tear them apart?

Chapter: Chapter 13: UnspokenAlex POV….I stood silently in the doorway, watching her.Venessa.She didn’t know I was there, but I couldn’t look away. Her figure, still wrapped in a towel, was so captivating, I found myself rooted to the spot. I had always been focused on the contract, on the power I wielded, but now… I was focused on her.She was standing in front of the mirror, eyes staring blankly at her own reflection, her hands absently running through her damp silver hair. I hadn’t expected this—didn’t even know she had this side to her. I had seen her before, always in those modest clothes, the ones she thought would keep her hidden, protect her. But now, seeing her in nothing but that thin towel, my breath hitched.Her body… it was everything I hadn’t anticipated.I had known she was attractive—hell, it was impossible not to notice her—but this was different. She was more than attractive. She was dangerous. Those curves I’d never noticed before were there, hidden beneath layers of fabric, but now I saw th

Chapter: Chapter 12: Shattered SilenceVenessa’s POV Alex withdrew from me so abruptly that I was left reeling, my head still spinning from the intensity of the moment. My legs, once trembling beneath me, buckled under the weight of everything that had just happened. I collapsed to the floor, my knees crashing against the hard surface, the shock of it all leaving me breathless. He didn’t seem to notice—or perhaps, he simply didn’t care. Alex stood over me, his expression unchanged. He stared down at me with an icy detachment, as though what had just occurred meant nothing to him. His gaze was cold, calculating, and I could feel the weight of it pressing down on me. A wicked smile curled at the corners of his lips, and it sent a fresh wave of dread through me. “So, you’re willing to sign the contract now?” he said, his voice smooth and mocking. “I was hoping you’d hold out a bit longer, but I guess I was wrong.” The words were like a slap in the face. He wasn’t even concerned about my surrender, just pleased by how eas

Chapter: Chapter 11: Beneath his GripVenessa’s POV The words hit me like a punch to the stomach, and for a moment, everything stopped. My heart raced in my chest, panic bubbling to the surface as I stared up at him, wide-eyed. He wasn’t just threatening to make me sign the contract—he was implying that, if I didn’t, he’d take what he wanted. Right there. My hands shook as I clutched the fabric of my jacket tighter, trying to keep myself grounded, trying to hold onto some semblance of control. This can’t be happening, I thought desperately. I’m still a virgin, for goodness’ sake! The thought crashed through my mind like a wave, and I felt a rush of heat flood my face. I had never let anyone close enough—never allowed myself to fall into this kind of situation. The very idea of him of him taking advantage of me in that way, made my stomach churn with revulsion and fear. I tried to stand my ground, tried to look at him with defiance, but my voice wavered despite my best efforts. “You’re not going to intimidate me, Mr Gr

Chapter: Chapter 10: The ChoiceVenessa POV….I was done being passive. The confusion, the fear everything I’d felt since I’d been brought here had started to shift into something else. Something darker. Something more furious. The sight of Alex standing there, so cold and detached, as if this was all some game, pushed me over the edge. My heart was pounding in my chest, but I wasn’t going to be intimidated anymore.I couldn’t stand the way he was looking at me,so composed, so calculated. As if the last few minutes hadn’t just shattered everything I thought I knew about him.I sat up on the bed, the cool sheets sliding off my body as I swung my legs over the side. I felt the anger bubbling up inside me like a fire ready to explode. “Why the hell did you have me kidnapped, Mr Graystone?” My voice came out louder than I expected, and I could feel the tremor of panic beneath the rage.Alex didn’t flinch. In fact, he took a step back, his eyes glinting with a cool amusement that made my blood boil. It was like he was e

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Scent of Control I watched as Venessa stiffened, her eyes widening slightly, her body tensing in a way that made the air between us thicken with unease. There was a raw, unspoken fear in the way she looked at me—no surprise there. She was trapped, confused, angry, and rightly so. She was still processing everything, still trying to make sense of the mess I’d dragged her into. I’d never seen her so vulnerable, so small in the space between us, her back pressed against the bed as if she could somehow create distance. I could feel her attempt to recoil, her body instinctively pulling away from me, and a strange, unsettling satisfaction flickered in my chest. It wasn’t that I wanted to hurt her—it was the reality that she was still here. That she was still mine to control, even if she didn’t understand it yet. I moved toward her, deliberately slow, watching the way her breath caught in her throat. Her gaze darted to the door as if she could escape, but she knew better. I wasn’t going to let her go. Not

Chapter: Chapter 8:Taken by the DarkThe air outside the café was crisp as I stepped into the night, the sound of my boots clicking on the pavement mingling with the distant hum of the city. My shift had felt like it would never end. The monotonous rhythm of brewing coffee, taking orders, and plastering a smile on my face for the customers had distracted me from the gnawing pain in my chest. But now that I was alone, the weight of what I’d seen earlier—Alex, with another woman, his hands on her like he had once had on me—settled heavily over me.I tried to focus on putting one foot in front of the other. The cool night air felt good against my skin as I tugged my jacket tighter. I had on my usual uniform for these late-night shifts: a navy-blue sweater, fitted just enough to keep me warm but not too tight to be uncomfortable, paired with black skinny jeans and well-worn ankle boots. My hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, strands escaping to frame my face. A part of me wished I could just forget about the whole thing, b
