로그인He made the rules. She signed them just to break every one. When ruthless billionaire Japhet Lukers demands a marriage of convenience, he adds two impossible conditions — no love and no touch. But Anastasia Chris has never been the type to follow orders. Forced into a contract that trades her freedom for her father’s ambitions, she vows to make Japhet regret underestimating her. He wants control. She wants revenge. But somewhere between the lies, power games, and stolen glances, their fake vows start to burn too real. In a world where trust is a weapon and passion is forbidden, who will fall first — the cold-hearted CEO or the defiant bride who swore to ruin him? A steamy, fast-paced tale of revenge, obsession, and a marriage neither of them saw coming.
더 보기Ana’s POVHappiness isn’t loud.It doesn’t arrive like a storm or crash into your life demanding to be noticed. It doesn’t shake everything around it until you’re forced to acknowledge that something has changed.It’s quieter than that. Softer.It settles into the spaces that once felt empty, into moments that used to feel heavy, into silence that once carried tension and now simply… exists.And somehow, that makes it more real.Life had changed.Not suddenly. Not in a way that erased everything we had been through, but slowly, steadily—in a way that didn’t demand attention, yet stayed long enough to become permanent.The house no longer felt unfamiliar. It wasn’t something I was still adjusting to.It felt like home.Not because of the walls or the space or the quiet that surrounded it, but because of what existed inside it now.Us.Our child slept peacefully in the room down the hall, her soft breathing grounding everything, reminding me in the simplest way that some things had surv
Japhet’s POVThere was a time when I believed love had to be overwhelming to be real—loud, consuming, something that took over everything until nothing was left untouched, nothing left unchanged. It was something that demanded, claimed, and held so tightly that losing it was never an option.That was the only version I understood.The only version I knew how to give.And it had nearly destroyed everything.Now, standing in front of her—in a space that no longer felt like a cage, in a moment that carried no weight of control or fear or expectation—I realized something I had never allowed myself to see before.Love didn’t have to take.It didn’t have to break.It didn’t have to force itself into someone’s life just to exist.It could wait.It could learn.It could change.Ana stood a few steps away, the evening light soft around her, the quiet of the house settled in a way that no longer felt unfamiliar. It wasn’t something we were still adjusting to—it had become ours in its own slow,
Ana’s POVSome losses don’t fully happen.They almost do. They linger at the edge, close enough to feel, close enough to leave a mark without ever completely taking form. And somehow, that makes them heavier—because you see them, you understand them, and you realize just how easily everything could have slipped away while you were too lost to notice.I had lived in that space for too long—that thin, fragile line between holding on and losing everything.And now, standing here, watching him… watching us, I felt it again.Not as fear, but as awareness.Our child looked impossibly small in his arms. Too small, sometimes it seemed, for a world like ours—like something so fragile shouldn’t exist in hands that had once known only control, violence, and destruction.And yet, there he was.Holding her.Carefully.Not with confidence, not with the instinctive certainty of someone used to possessing what he touched, but with caution—like he wasn’t entirely sure how to do it, like he was afraid
Ana’s POVPeace is a strange thing when you’ve lived too long in chaos.It doesn’t arrive loudly or announce itself, and it doesn’t force you to notice it. It simply settles—quietly, almost carefully—like it isn’t entirely sure it’s allowed to stay.For the longest time, I didn’t trust it.I didn’t trust the silence that stretched through the house without breaking into something sharp. I didn’t trust the absence of tension, the lack of conflict, the way everything existed without the constant push and pull I had grown used to—the kind that demanded reaction, demanded emotion, demanded something to happen.Now, nothing was happening.And somehow, that felt unfamiliar.Japhet and I lived in the same space again—not as captor and captive, not as enemies, not even as something clearly defined. Just two people under the same roof, moving around each other without colliding, without forcing interaction, without turning every moment into something heavy.There were no fights, no raised voic
Ana’s POV“Is this what you’ve got to say?” Japhet asked, his voice sharp with irritation and underlying tension. He continued, each word loaded with possessive scrutiny, “Where are you, and who are you with? Alexia said you were invited to a birthday party by an online friend. What’s his username?
Ana's POVAnd just as I had expected, he stayed silent, refusing to answer the question I had been waiting to hear.Fine.I turned to the other side of the bed and shut my eyes, determined to sleep. A few moments later, I heard rustling. Japhet changed into a night robe and slid under the same blan
Ana’s POVWhile I was having a conversation with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, I noticed Japhet leaving with Alex and his beautiful secretary. That secretary was definitely being touchy with him and even tried to brush her body against his. Yet Japhet pretended not to notice her and continued
Japhet POV"What's wrong with her?" Ana's friends asked as I carried Ana. She got drunk and lost consciousness due to the strong alcoholic effect of champagne.I can't be more annoyed than this. I was just trying to mock her but she instead kissed some random dude. I glanced back at the man who was
