Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother
“You’re asking me to marry you?”
I stared at the cold, unreadable man before me, disbelief curling in my chest—yet something far more dangerous was already slipping through my veins.
“Yes.”
The single word landed like a verdict.
“Marry me, Attorney.”
“Y-you don’t even know me…”
His gaze didn’t waver. Not even for a second.
“I know enough.” His voice dropped, quiet but absolute. “We both want the same thing… revenge.”

Eloise didn’t break the day her husband betrayed her.
She broke slowly—over the years.
And by the time she walked away, there was nothing left to salvage. Except dignity. And a heart that had learned—too late—not to beg for love.
She thought that was the end of it. Until the night a man stepped into her life and changed the direction of everything…
Nikolai Argos.
Cold. Unyielding. A presence that carried authority without ever needing to raise his voice.
And when he looked at her, it was as though his world had narrowed.
What he offered her was a choice… One that came with consequences neither of them could escape.
Because Argos wasn’t just powerful—He was tied to the very past Eloise had fought to leave behind. And stepping toward him meant stepping back into everything she had sworn to forget.
But this time…Eloise wasn’t the same woman.
Yet somewhere between resistance and inevitability, between control and something far more dangerous—she realized one lethal truth: Nikolai Argos is the most dangerous case she had ever laid her hands on.

A tale of quiet strength, hidden mysteries, buried wounds, and a love that doesn’t arrive gently—
Because sometimes, the most dangerous man isn’t the one who breaks you…
But the one who sees you clearly—and doesn’t walk away.
