I never thought my last name would cost me my freedom. One scandal. One signature. And now I’m married to a man colder than the vows we exchanged. Koven Elrik Mavros doesn’t believe in love. He believes in control, contracts, and consequences. And I just happened to be the loophole he needed. But I’m not the kind of woman who bows. I bite back even when it hurts. Now, we’re trapped in a marriage meant to break us. But the more he pushes, the more I see the cracks in his armor. This was supposed to end in divorce. So why does it feel like everything's just beginning?

My lipstick didn’t smudge, my heels didn’t shake, and my voice didn’t crack, not even when the press asked me the same question for the fifth time.“Zephyra, is it true you slept with your sister’s fiancé?”Click. Flash. Flash.My smile didn’t move. I tilted my head slightly, the way I was trained to. “Next question.”It didn’t matter how many times I said I wouldn’t answer it. They already made up their minds.

Chapter 1: The Man In The Glass Tower
I’ve never seen a man look so bored while offering someone twelve million dollars.Koven Elrik Mavros sat across from me like a statue carved out of winter. The windows behind him stretched to the ceiling, showing off the skyline like he owned the whole damn city. Maybe he did. Maybe that’s why his office looked more like a glass kingdom than a workspace. cold, quiet, untouchable.He didn’t smile. He didn’t blink. He just watched me, like I was a puzzle he already knew how to solve.I sat still, trying not to fidget. I hated that he made me feel small. I wore my most expensive dress, the one I saved for charity balls. My heels were sharp, my lipstick darker than usual. But next to him? I still felt... exposed.“I read the contract,” I said.“And?”I tilted my head. “You want me to be your wife. In public. For a year.”“Correct.”“In return, you clear my name, give me back my life, and pay me twelve million?”He nodded once.I let out a breath, short and sharp. “Why me?”“You’re conven

Chapter 2: Terms of Seduction
The contract sat in front of me like a trap dressed in velvet.Thick pages. Crisp corners. A golden pen clipped to the side, as if they wanted to make betrayal look elegant.I was alone in his penthouse office. Morning sunlight spilled through the tall windows, but the warmth didn’t touch me. It was quiet... too quiet. Just the sound of my nails tapping against the edge of the leather folder, my thoughts twisting tighter with each clause I read.No real intimacy.I blinked, reading the line again. My lips twitched into something close to a scoff. I don’t know why I expected anything else. Of course he’d keep this cold. Professional. Mechanical. Like he was buying a business merger, not a wife.No public outbursts.I rolled my eyes. As if I was some wild creature he needed to cage.No falling in love.That one? That one made me laugh.It was in italics, like some sick joke. No falling in love as if he thought I’d look into his deadpan expression, trace his perfect jawline, and suddenly

Chapter 3: Paper Rings
I didn’t wear white.Not because I didn’t have the dress—I did. It hung in the closet like a ghost. Lace and silk and softness I didn’t ask for. But I didn’t wear it. I wore black. Not to make a statement, not to be dramatic.I just didn’t want to pretend.This wasn’t a fairytale.There were no flowers. No vows whispered through tears. No music swelling in the background while someone’s mother dabbed at her eyes.It was a room.A single room.No windows.Just marble walls, a thick oak table, and two chairs that didn’t face each other.He came in first. Koven Elrik Mavros.Black suit. No tie. Cold eyes like always. He didn’t say anything. Just sat down across from the lawyer and nodded once.I came in after.The silence swallowed me as soon as the door closed behind me.Even my heels felt too loud.No one stood. No one smiled. Not even the damn officiant, if that’s what he could be called. Just a man with a clipboard and a watch that kept ticking, like he had somewhere better to be.“A

Chapter 4: Billionaire’s House
I didn’t expect the penthouse to feel like this. When I imagined Koven’s home, I thought of sleek lines, polished surfaces, and luxury that suffocated you with its perfection. But standing here, I realized it wasn’t just the house that felt cold—it was him.The door to the penthouse opened with a quiet swish, and I stepped in, feeling the weight of the silence settle around me. The space was stunning, the kind of beauty that made you feel small. It wasn’t just a home; it was a fortress.Koven was already inside, of course. He didn’t wait for me. He never did.“Your room is down the hall,” he said, barely looking at me as he passed.I nodded, following his lead, my footsteps echoing in the vastness of the place. Everything was pristine. Too pristine. Like a museum that was never meant to be touched.When I reached the guest room, I hesitated. The door was already open, and the room was everything I could expect—expensive but cold, with no personal touch to make it feel like a home. No
