Ava Hart, a fiercely independent accountant struggling to save her father from crippling debt, is forced into a contract marriage with enigmatic billionaire Damien Cross. Known as "The Devil in Armani," Damien is a ruthless businessman who leaves a trail of destroyed lives in his wake. He manipulates Ava into marrying him to secure a façade of stability that will appease his board of directors during a critical business merger. While Ava despises Damien's arrogance and cold demeanor, she reluctantly agrees to the marriage, knowing it’s the only way to save her father’s legacy. As they embark on their enemies-to-lovers journey, the tension rose with the arrival of Damien’s seductive ex-fiancée, putting them in a dangerous love triangle, and the revelation of dark secrets that could destroy them both.

2. NO OTHER WAY
Ava sat on the edge of her bed, her laptop open in front of her, the screen filled with spreadsheets and overdue notices. She rubbed her temples, trying to will away the pounding headache that had been her constant companion since the previous night. The image of her parents tied up and terrified haunted her, and the men’s threats echoed in her ears.One week. That was all the time they’d given her to come up with an astronomical amount of money which was far more than she could ever hope to earn on her meager accountant’s salary.Her phone buzzed, and she glanced at the screen. It was her best friend, Layla.“How’s it going? Have you figured out anything yet?”Ava sighed, typing back a quick response. “No. It’s bad, Layla. Really bad. Nothing is coming forth anywhere.”Within seconds, Layla was calling. Ava picked up, grateful for the sound of her friend’s voice.“Ava, talk to me,” Layla said, her usual confident tone replaced with concern.Ava let out a shaky breath. “They showed up

3. THE DEVIL'S GAME
Damien Cross’s office was a fortress of glass and steel, a reflection of the man who ruled it. His reputation was legendary: a self-made billionaire who had built an empire from nothing. But beneath the polished exterior lay a man far darker than anyone could imagine. He’s a man who thrived on control, calculated ruthlessness, and the relentless pursuit of power.The marriage contract was just another tool in Damien’s arsenal. His board of directors had been growing restless, their trust shaken by recent scandals and the looming acquisition of TitanTech, a technology firm critical to expanding his empire. They wanted stability, a more humanized image of their aloof and cutthroat CEO. A wife, even a fake one, was the solution.Damien sat at his desk, the soft glow of his computer screencasting shadows on his face. Before him was Ava Hart’s profile, or rather, the one he had fabricated. The transformation was already in motion. She was no longer the struggling accountant from a lower-cl

4. A DANGEROUS GAME
Ava stood in front of the ornate mirror in Damien’s penthouse, her reflection barely recognizable. The sleek, emerald-green gown she wore hugged her figure perfectly, its understated elegance radiating wealth and sophistication. A diamond necklace glittered at her collarbone, matching the earrings that dangled from her ears. Her makeup was flawless, and her hair was styled into a classic updo.She looked every bit the part of Ivanna Moretti, the enigmatic daughter of a reclusive oil tycoon. But behind the perfect exterior, her nerves were a raging storm.“I still don’t think this is right. I am stepping into the deep waters without any safety jacket. Any wrong move, I’d get eaten up by the dangerous creatures,” she muttered as she checked herself out in the mirror.For a slight second, she loved what she saw but her senses quickly brought her back to reality. The transformation made her curious about what the real Ivanna looked like and where she was.“Relax,” Damien’s deep voice cut

5. BENEATH THE MASK
The ballroom was silent as Alessandro Rossi’s question hung in the air. His fluent Italian rolled effortlessly off his tongue, and Ava could feel the weight of every pair of eyes on her. Her pulse raced, and for a fleeting moment, panic threatened to overwhelm her.But then something clicked.Damien’s gaze bore into her, his expression unreadable, though she could sense the tension radiating from him. Whether it was adrenaline or sheer determination, Ava suddenly found herself speaking.She once had to learn Italian when her boss handed an Italian client over to her. The client had been a handful, and it was like a punishment, but she got through the pain, learned the language to a reasonable extent and was able to take care of the client. Who knew it would be helpful on a day like this?Her words came out with confidence she didn’t know she had, her Italian flowing smoothly as she answered Rossi’s query. She gestured delicately, mimicking the poise and sophistication Damien had drill

6. POLISHED TO PERFECTION
The days following the engagement party were a whirlwind for Ava. Damien’s promise that the “real deal” had begun now felt like an understatement. Her life became a tightly choreographed routine, every hour of her day meticulously planned by Damien’s team.Ava woke before sunrise every morning, her schedule starting with lessons designed to transform her into the perfect high-society fiancée. Though she had initially agreed to this arrangement to save her family, she hadn’t anticipated how much of herself she would have to sacrifice in the process.****“Straighten your back, Miss Hart...no, Ivanna,” the etiquette coach corrected, tapping her spine with a thin cane. “A lady of your status must exude grace in every movement.”Ava bit her tongue to hold back a retort, her muscles aching from holding the rigid posture. She had spent the past two hours balancing a book on her head while walking back and forth across the marble floor of Damien’s study.“You slouch even a little, and they’l

7. MORE RULES
Ava sat across from Damien in the dining room, the wealthy atmosphere of her surroundings starkly contrasting the tension in the air. Damien was reviewing a document on his tablet, his expression was sharp and unreadable as always. Ava shifted uncomfortably in her seat, waiting for him to speak.Finally, he set the tablet down and looked at her. “There are some things we need to clarify.”Ava frowned slightly. “More rules?”“Precisely,” Damien replied without hesitation. “This arrangement is strictly transactional. I don’t want you getting any ideas about what this is. You’re playing a role, and nothing more.”His words were clinical, devoid of emotion, and they stung more than Ava cared to admit. She kept her face neutral, refusing to show how much his coldness affected her.“What kind of rules?” she asked, crossing her arms.“For starters,” Damien began, leaning back in his chair, “you’ll submit a weekly report detailing how your week went. I want to know everything. Every interacti
