Masuk"Be my wife for eight months and I will save you from this hell. But if you fall in love with me? I will destroy you." She wasn't sold for a price. She was lost in a bet. A dark deal made in the shadows between a father who sold his own daughter without thinking twice and the man who runs the Blackwood empire. The CEO who doesn't just own money. He owns the city. He owns the law. He owns the men and their fates. She was just a normal designer until she became his wife on paper. A wife to a man who knows no mercy. A man who never loses a deal. A man who refuses to let the woman carrying his name be weak. Eight months. A marriage with no love. Strict rules. Forbidden feelings. But what happens when the deal turns into a deep hunger? What happens when the contract becomes a cage? What happens when she finds out that running away from her father put her in the trap of a man who is a thousand times more dangerous? Her father sold her in a bet. And her only escape was the man who owns the city.

In a daze, I stared at my hands resting loosely on my thighs, remembering the photos and the message that made me lose control.My fists clenched hard until my veins bulged. I pulled my phone from my pocket, tapping on it in anger until my eyes landed on what I wanted."Kayla."I called her, my chest rising and falling with rage, my eyes burning. The second she answered, I shouted, "What the hell did you do?!"She replied calmly, completely unaffected by my anger. "Is this how you usually start conversations?"I closed my eyes, exhaling harshly, then asked again, sharper this time. "I said, what the hell did you do, Kayla?""I don’t know what you mean."She answered shortly, pretending not to understand, playing innocent when she was nothing but a devil ruining everything around her. I tightened my grip on the phone until it almost cracked and hissed, "How dare you take those photos and send them with that message to J
Elnoear Vance "I want to go out. Somewhere. Can you get your master's permission?"He frowned in confusion for a few seconds before answering in a formal tone. "There is no need, ma’am. You may go wherever you wish. Mr. Julian Blackwood has given orders that you are free to leave anytime, to any place."My gaze dropped to the ground quietly as a storm raged inside me.Is this guard telling me, indirectly, that Julian Blackwood no longer cares about me?He even gave me full freedom to go anywhere, anytime. So he really will not treat me the way he used to?Is this his way of saying he does not care anymore?I bit my lower lip, unable to hide the tightness in my chest, then nodded faintly and walked away from the gate, looking for a taxi.I had barely taken two steps when a voice called from behind me. The guard."The car is this way, ma’am."I turned toward him in confusion, and he quickly explained."Although Mr. Julian Blackwood allowed you full freedom, he will not leave you withou
Elnoear Vance Despite how wide the place was, loneliness consumed me. My thoughts were dark, my energy drained. Since that cursed night and everything that happened, my heart has felt unbearably heavy.Along with it came the crushing pressure of lying to Mr. Blackwood. I never wanted to touch something like that, especially since I hate lying more than anything.Regret has been knocking on my door ever since that night. And now… I find myself thinking that maybe he was right to be cautious about Martin.I never believed he would do something like that to me. It weighs heavily on my chest.He is my friend. I grew up with him. How could he do something like that, even if he was drunk?Did he forget that I am married? I still cannot believe it, even now.My eyes drifted slowly across the distant horizon. Silence surrounded me. I felt like I needed to see Mr. Blackwood. Just seeing him would be enough.The ninth day was almost here, and he was still away. Did he move into that military b
Elnoear Vance "Where are you going without Julian knowing, Elnoear?"I let out a quiet sigh, trying to justify myself to Ivy."Martin called me. He said he needs me. He sounds sick... and honestly, drunk."Ivy looked at me with confusion."Martin? Why would he call you specifically?"I shook my head."I do not know, Ivy. But he asked for my help, and I cannot ignore that. You know how we are."She hummed softly but still looked at me with disapproval."I do not like that you are hiding this from Julian, but Martin needs you. Go, check on him, and come back quickly. Do not stay long, Elnoear."I nodded and kissed her quickly before stepping inside. We had been whispering at the door so my grandmother would not hear us. She definitely would not like this and might even call Mr. Blackwood."Luckily, Grandma went upstairs a while ago and did not notice you coming in. Go to the back door quickly and do not make noise."I nodded again and added in a low voice."I will be quick. Keep her di

Eleanor POVI stood in my room, putting the final touches on my look. I wore a brown blouse with soft white patterns running across it, a white skirt that stopped mid thigh, and I let my hair fall freely over my shoulders. Just a little makeup. Nothing too much.
