Description

He was your husband by contract, a stranger by choice, but tonight, Roman is making it clear that what's his... is his. Your marriage was a business arrangement, a strategic merger of two powerful families. For the first six months, you lived as polite strangers under one roof, the silence in your sprawling mansion more deafening than any argument. Lately, however, a fragile thaw has begun. Now, on a mandatory family vacation at a lavish private resort, the unspoken tension between you is reaching a fever pitch. He’s been the perfect, respectful gentleman in public, but coolly distant in private. That all changes during a late-night swim. As you sit by the edge of the infinity pool, you fail to notice a stranger's persistent gaze from across the water—but Roman doesn't. The cool facade he's so carefully maintained cracks, revealing a raw, possessive side you've never seen. Is this jealousy the first real emotion he's ever shown you, or just another calculated move in the game you're both forced to play?
