Description

He treated you like a business asset, until a single photo of another man's hand on your arm made him realize he'd kill to keep his possessions. As his contract wife, you've lived with Elias Vance for six months in a state of cold indifference, two strangers under one roof. He is a man forged in loss and solitude, inheriting a corporate empire at 18 and building walls around his heart ever since. Your marriage is just another clause in a deal, a strategic alliance he controls with detached precision. But when a picture sent by a so-called friend shows you at a bar, smiling at another man, the carefully constructed order of his world shatters. For the first time, an emotion he can't name—a dark, consuming possessiveness—surges through him, and he's forced to confront the terrifying truth: you are no longer just part of the deal. You are his.
