[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] Maisie is raised on a remote private island owned by her wealthy, controlling family. As the eldest daughter of her family, she is groomed from childhood to be the perfect, obedient woman. Her every move is strictly monitored, and any defiance is met with harsh discipline from her misogynistic father. While her brothers are afforded freedom, Maisie feels like a caged bird whose spirit is slowly being crushed under the weight of her family's antiquated traditions. She dreams of one day spreading her wings. Her glimmer of hope is abruptly extinguished when her father unexpectedly informs her that he has arranged for her to marry the notoriously cold and ruthless son of a business associate in a strategic move to strengthen the family's corporate empire. Though apprehensive to be shackled to a man rumored to be a beast, Maisie agrees, desperate to finally earn her father's approval and love. The wedding takes place and Maisie is whisked away to her new husband's chilling villa, a place as bleak as its master. Will Maisie find freedom and happiness in her new home, or has she merely been transported to a new hell? Can she tame the beast and thaw his frozen heart? Or will their union tear Maisie's soul apart?

CH. 1

MaisieI woke up with a sense of contentment and excitement.The sky was bright blue this morning.My face bloomed into a bright smile when I spotted his familiar towering figure with looks to kill standing before the floor-to-ceiling mirror in our dressing room.The door was open and I could see him clearly from where I lay tangled in the silky sheets of our massive bed.I gently rose and padded my bare feet across the plush carpet to cross the room toward where he stood, straightening his tie and running a hand through that thick, perfectly coiffed dark hair.God, he was so insanely handsome it almost didn't seem fair."Good morning, handsome," I greeted in a sweet, slightly sing-song voice as I spread my arms open to wrap around his narrow waist from behind, nuzzling my face against the expensive fabric of his suit jacket.He always looked so powerful and dominant in a suit.Instead of melting into my embrace, he stiffened slightly. "Now's not the time, Maisie. I have an emergency

CH.2

The sky that started off bright this morning had now darkened into a soulless color above me.It was heavy with thick, menacing clouds that seemed to cast everything in a dull, gloomy shade of gray. It felt ironic, like the universe was trying to warn me but I was too naive to pick up on it.All I knew was the dreary weather outside perfectly matched the hollow, numb feeling settling into my gut.I sat in the plush backseat of the car as it pulled away from the mansion, headed towards the hotel where that anonymous text claimed he was.My hands twisted anxiously in my lap, trembling ever so slightly, as I stared sightlessly out the tinted window at the city streets passing by in a blur of lights and colors.Part of me hoped desperately I would arrive and find the hotel devoid of any signs of Jason and his supposed mistress.That it had all just been an awful prank or misunderstanding after all, and I could go home and finally have that long overdue conversation with my husband about m

CH.3

I swiped the key card and heard the soft click of the lock before swinging the door open.At first glance, everything seemed normal in the lavish suite. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, huge windows with a view of the city skyline. But then my eyes landed on the glass table and my heart dropped into my stomach.A bottle of champagne and two glasses sat there. Jason was not alone.I blinked slowly, trying to process what I was seeing. Maybe this was for...a business meeting or something? Because I really didn't want to overreact if it was. But my gut told me no, this was something else entirely.I took a deep breath and moved further into the room. That's when I heard it - the unmistakable sound of a woman's moan."Unghh...Jason..."I froze, my hand hovering over the bedroom door. No. No, this couldn't be happening. I was hearing things, I had to be.But some perverse curiosity pushed me forward until I was pushing the door open. And the sight before me was like a punch straight to

CH.4

~One year ago~My parents sat me down, their expressions grave. "Maisie, it's time we discussed your future marriage," my father began, clasping his hands on the desk.A knot formed in my stomach yet I nodded obediently.I knew this day would come - the day they would arrange my marriage to someone of their choosing.As the daughter of a prestigious family, it was expected of me to make an advantageous match, love be damned."You are to marry Jason Harding, the heir to Harding Industries," my mother stated matter-of-factly. "It will be a highly beneficial union for our family."My heart stuttered at the famous name. Jason Harding? The brilliant young businessman known across the country for his staggering success?I had seen his face plastered on magazine covers, read the stories about his business prowess and influence. To be his wife...it was almost too much to comprehend.Yet, his reputation was that of being cold and merciless. A beast someone like myself would be wise to fear.Co

CH.5

The back door of the flashiest car in the fleet swung open and to my utter shock, a familiar figure I least expected to see stormed out, not giving a damn about the harsh downpour now soaking him to the skin.My heart leaped into my throat and I whirled around.Panic surged through me when he charged towards me with a look of pure rage on his face.I was rooted to the spot like a deer in headlights, unsure how to react.He swiftly closed the distance between us and grabbed me by the wrist in a bruising grip before tossing me over his shoulder as if I weighed no more than a child's doll.I cried out in shock and pain as his shoulder dug into my stomach, knocking the wind out of me.I finally snapped out of my daze. "What the hell?! Put me down this instant, you bastard!" I screamed, thrashing and kicking my legs wildly as he carried me back towards the car like a caveman."Maisie!" Jason barked, his icy tone cutting through the sounds of the pounding rain and making me freeze in place.

CH.6

MaisieThe car pulled up to the grand villa, but I remained frozen in the backseat, unable to move.I could still feel the pain, hurt and shame of the day’s event crushing down on me.The rain finally started to let up. My clothes were still soaked through, clinging to my skin in an uncomfortable and suffocating way.The coldness seeped into my bones, yet it wasn't the kind of cold that could be shaken off with a warm bath or fresh clothes. This was deeper, like the sadness had frozen my heart first and then spread out to the rest of my body.I felt numb, empty, like I would never be warm again.I finally managed to step out of the car without a word, ignoring the driver's concerned look as he held the door open for me.Our ever-loyal maids rushed toward me the second I entered the house, their faces etched with worry and the polite, professional mask as though they didn't know how to handle me in this fragile state. I couldn't blame them though. I didn't know how to handle myself eit
