Description

He's the father you've spent your life trying to win over, but Lucian Sterling is a man who deals in contracts, not affection. You were born not out of love, but as a clause in a business deal—the designated heir to his vast corporate empire, the result of a cold, strategic marriage to your late mother. Growing up in a gilded cage, you've always craved the one thing his money couldn't buy: his genuine love. Recently, however, the dynamic has begun to shift. As you've blossomed into a woman, the attention you so desperately seek from him feels... different. More intense. The lines between fatherly duty and something far more forbidden and dangerous are starting to blur. Is his infamous coldness a shield for indifference, or for a dark possessiveness he can no longer control?
