LOGINTardrain Brooklyn was the golden son of the Brooklyn empire—until a suspicious accident left him crippled and rottened in a darkened room. Now a prisoner of his own bitterness, he trusts no one and hates the world. Enter Ivana: the woman forced to become his wife. To the Brooklyn family, she was a hired executioner, tasked with finishing what the accident started. To Ivana, this marriage is a cage built by blackmail and desperation. Their orders were clear: infiltrate his room, earn his trust, and serve him a slow, silent death. But Tardrain isn’t as helpless as he seemed and Ivana isn't as cold as she needed to be. As she broke his rules and invaded his solitude, she discovered the man behind the monster. And as Tardrain watched his new bride, he couldn't help but wonder if she was his most dangerous enemy—or his only hope for survival. In a house filled with secrets and lies, the ultimate betrayal was falling in love with your victim. Ivana has a choice: fulfill her deadly contract, or risk everything to save a man who has already been marked for death.

Red petals were scattered across the floor, and the curtains had been changed to deep crimson silk that draped elegantly from the ceiling to floor. Even the bed duvet had been replaced with a rich red spread, carefully arranged with a heart shaped petals at the center.On the bed lay several neatly wrapped gift boxes of different sizes, each tied with ribbons. And in the corner of the room, there was a small round table with two chairs facing each other. On the table there were plates of her favorite dishes, white rice and chicken.Ivana stood frozen at the doorway.Her eyes slowly scanned everywhere. The flower petals, the gifts, the effort. She was completely speechless.“Is he….celebrating something?’ she wondered silently, stepping further into the room, her heels stepping softly on the petals. Her gaze drifted to the tv, that was when she saw it.Two couples were passionately making out on the screen, the volume was turned up
Ivana stood frozen for half a second, her eyes widening in shock at the sight before her. She saw how Tardrain was soaked in alcohol, a red mark already forming in his face. She rushed forward. Her gaze was not leaving him, not even for a second. The strong scent of wine hit her nose when she stood closer, and her chest tightened at the humiliation state he was in.A strange anger burned inside her chest as she stared at him drenched in wine, slapped like he was nothing and her fingers curled into a fist at her side as she watched him sit there… silent. He didn’t lashed out.He didn’t fight back, and put the bitch in her place!He didn’t threaten. He looked calm, too calm. She saw it, the way his jaws tightened, the way his shoulder stiffened, the way unshed tears shimmering faintly in his eyes before he force them back.‘Who the hell is the lady?’ her mind screamed, as many thoughts clashed inside her head.He just sat there, enduring the humiliation, and she hated it. Hated the l
An hour later, Mike pulled into the private garage of the lounge. He rushed to the trunk,retrieved the wheelchair, and positioned it carefully. With steady efficiency, he helped Tardrain out of the car.The lounge felt unnervingly calm. Only a handful of people moved around, and even they did so quietly, as if this location didn't truly exist in the world. The place was undeniably classy, every corner was neat, and deliberate. The building itself stood magnificent, modern lines blended with understated luxury.Ivana slowly scanned the surrounding ‘Why are we here?’ She wondered. ‘Is he having some kind of secret meeting?’Tardrain turned slightly towards Mike. “You can wait here and await my orders,” he muttered.“Okay, sir,” Mike replied, bowing slightly before returning to the car as instructed..Moments later, Diego emerged hurriedly from the entrance, clearly expecting them. He rushed forward, then slowed abruptly when his eyes landed on Ivana. His gaze narrowed with suspicion as
Ivana’s dropped jaw snapped shut and she walked towards him, with her brows knitting together in confusion. The silence in the room felt heavier than before, thick with something unspoken.She hadn’t needed anyone to tell her, Tardrain hadn’t stepped outside this room since the accident. Not once. Judging from his personality he wouldn’t want any outsider to see him in this condition.‘So why now?” she wondered. ‘What suddenly changed? And who was he talking to?’ So many questions racing in her mind.“Where are we going?” Ivana asked instead, stopping directly in front of him.Tardrain slowly raised his gaze up to her face.He didn’t answer her question. He just stared, too long, and too intensely.Ivana held his look, refusing to be the first to break the challenge. After a moment, he broke the eyes contact and looked away, his jaw tightening as if he was fighting with a thought he didn’t want to faceThe tension was still there, lingering in his eyes. His body hadn’t fully relaxed; h
