"A contract. A secret. An obsession neither can escape."
To save her family from bankruptcy, Elena agrees to a six-month contract marriage with the man who destroyed her father's company. He is cold, calculating, and dangerous. She is determined not to feel anything. But the closer they get, the more she realizes the truth about what really happened to her father — and that her husband might be the only person who knows the whole story.
"Six months. No feelings. No questions. He slid the contract across the table like it was nothing. Like I was nothing."
"Six months. No feelings. No questions. He slid the contract across the table like it was nothing. Like I was nothing."
"His penthouse had seventeen rooms. He gave me one. The one farthest from his."
"He brought me coffee. Black, two sugars. Exactly how I take it. I never told him that."
"I found a folder in his office. My father's name was on every page."
"He didn't destroy my father's company. He tried to save it. Someone else made sure he failed."
"Someone left a photograph on my pillow. Me, walking to the market. Alone. A warning."
"He held my hand in the car and didn't let go for forty minutes. Neither did I."
"The contract expires in three days. He hasn't mentioned it. Neither have I."
"He said he never intended to feel anything either. Then he said he failed spectacularly."
"He slid a new contract across the table. One page. One clause. Permanent."
The story isn't over. Season 2 picks up where the ashes fall — and this time, she holds all the cards.
I did NOT expect to fall for Nikolai. The slow burn is killing me in the best way.
