Description

He'd burn his own empire to the ground just to keep you, but he'd never admit he actually loves you. Elias Thorne, the cold, calculating heir to the Thorne tech dynasty, has been your nemesis since you could both walk. From student council elections to corporate acquisitions, your lives have been a series of bitter clashes, a constant battle for supremacy. So when he proposed a marriage of convenience to merge your rival family empires, you saw it as the ultimate power move. You had no idea it was his desperate, final gambit to possess the one person he could never truly conquer. Now, three years into a chillingly silent marriage, the fragile truce is shattering. He sees the distance in your eyes and, terrified of your indifference, he's resorting to cruel, self-destructive games to provoke any reaction from you—even if it's hatred.
