That was the moment my marriage died. Not when I discovered my husband, Jason, with my sister, Lila. Not when she looked at me without shame in her eyes. Not even when Jason admitted he had fallen in love with her. It was when he told her that he loved only her, that I meant nothing compared to what they shared. Those words shattered everything I thought I knew about love, trust, and family. I walked away from my husband with nothing but a broken heart and a family that had already chosen his side. Then Alexander Steele entered my life. He offered me something I never expected: a marriage built on a deal, not love or romance. He was a cold, untouchable billionaire who needed a wife for his own reasons. I needed his power for mine. So I said yes. I would use his name to rebuild my life, protect myself, and make everyone who destroyed me regret the day they thought I was worthless. My reasons were simple: power, protection, and revenge. I thought that was all I needed. But as my old life kept finding its way into my new one, I began to realize that my marriage to Alexander was becoming more complicated than I had expected. Because somewhere along the way, I started wanting the one thing neither of us had ever agreed to give. His heart. And I had no idea if Alexander would ever feel the same way.

His other hand took mine. For a second, I forgot the steps completely. His touch was steady and careful. I looked up at him.“You actually know how to dance.”“I know enough.”That made me smile. We moved with the music. At first, I was concentrating too hard on my feet. Then I relaxed. His hand remained at the small of my back as he guided me through the steps. The warmth of his palm through the fabric of my dress made me unexpectedly aware of how close we were.I looked at his face. He looked completely calm. Of course he did. Meanwhile, my heart was beating faster simply because I was standing there with him while everyone around us laughed and danced.The song changed. The people around us clapped along. I laughed when Alexander moved me through another step. “You really can dance.”He looked down at me. “I told you I knew enough.”“I did not believe you.”“That was your mistake.”I laughed. For a few minutes, everything felt strangely peaceful. No pressure, no pretending. No pai

I was still standing near the doorway when Alexander picked up his keys. “I said it's dinner and people from the company, it's actually much more than that. You can come anyways,” he said.I blinked. “Really?”“We are leaving in ten minutes.”I smiled before I could stop myself. “Where are we going then?”“An exhibition.”That caught my attention. “An art exhibition?”He nodded once. I had expected another evening surrounded by investors, executives, and people who spoke about companies as if they were discussing chess pieces. An art exhibition was the last thing I expected Alexander to mention.Ten minutes later, I followed him out of Steele Villa and into the cool New York evening.The city was alive around us. Cars moved along the streets, yellow taxis slipped between traffic, and lights filled the buildings on either side of the road. New York always seemed to be moving, even when nobody appeared to be in a hurry.I had already seen some beautiful parts of the city since arriving,

The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. For a few seconds, I stared at the ceiling, remembering the previous night.I had spent almost an entire evening deliberately flirting with Alexander. And the man had barely reacted.I smiled. That should have annoyed me.Instead, it made me want to try again. There was something almost amusing about how difficult he was.I got out of bed, showered, and dressed before heading downstairs. Alexander was already at the dining table. Of course. He was dressed in a dark suit, his hair neatly styled, and a cup of coffee sat beside him.He looked as cold and serious as ever. I pulled out the chair opposite him. “Good morning, Lex.”His eyes lifted from his phone. “Good morning.”I smiled. No reaction, there again.I picked up a piece of toast. “You're getting used to it.”“To what?”“To always being the usual Lex.”“No.”I laughed. “You could at least pretend.”“Why would I?”I shook my head. “You really are impossible.”He returned his attenti

Aria's POV I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting one of the earrings in my ear. I looked at myself for a moment before a small smile appeared on my lips. There was nothing wrong with being a little bolder. I had spent enough time being careful around Alexander. He was my husband on paper. That was all. Our marriage had been built on an agreement, and Alexander had made it clear from the beginning that he expected nothing beyond what was written in that contract. He was cold, distant, and almost impossible to read.Fine. I could work with that. I was not trying to make him fall in love with me. I simply needed to make myself more comfortable around him and, perhaps, make him a little more willing to indulge me when I needed something.Besides, there was no denying that the man was incredibly handsome. It was almost irritating. He was too handsome not to fall for even at pretence.I picked up my phone and walked out of my room. Alexander was in the living room. He sat on the sofa
