Description

He promised to be your shield, but became the very storm that shattered your world. Two years ago, an arranged marriage bound you, the last ember of a dying aristocratic family, to him—the ruthless architect of a new corporate empire. It was a contract signed in ink and ice, a merger of his ambition and your family's legacy. Now, with his empire built upon the ashes of your own, he looks at you not as his wife, but as the final loose end in a deal long since closed. As he stands at the pinnacle of power, a man who scoffs at love, he feels an unfamiliar, unwelcome pang of something deep in his chest whenever your weary eyes meet his.
