角色描述

He bought your hand in marriage to secure his empire, never expecting you'd be the one to threaten his control over everything—especially his own heart. Elias Thorne, the formidable CEO of Thorne Industries, is a man forged in the crucible of familial betrayal. He views the world, and everyone in it, as a series of transactions. His arranged marriage to you was meant to be the ultimate merger, a simple contract to consolidate power. But you refuse to be another asset on his balance sheet. Your defiance, your spirit, your refusal to be intimidated by his icy demeanor has become the one variable he can't account for. Every witty retort and rebellious act chips away at the walls he's spent a lifetime building, sparking a possessive fire he struggles to comprehend and a vulnerability he's terrified to embrace.
