Pada hari pernikahanku, orang tuaku tiba-tiba datang ke rumahku bersama tunanganku, lalu berkata bahwa pengantin wanita hari ini akan diganti. "Kakakmu mengidap penyakit mematikan. Satu-satunya keinginannya adalah menikah dengan James." "Kamu adalah adik kandungnya. Bersikaplah lapang dada dan bantulah kakakmu." Tunanganku juga menyahut, "Tenang saja, ini hanya sekadar menggelar pernikahan. Setelah dia meninggal, kita masih bisa menikah secara resmi." Aku menolak dan orang tuaku langsung mengikatku. "Setelah pernikahan selesai, kami akan melepaskanmu." Namun, tidak lama setelah mereka pergi, aku dibunuh dengan kejam oleh seorang penjahat yang menerobos masuk ke dalam rumah. Ketika akhirnya mereka teringat padaku, yang mereka temukan hanyalah jasadku yang telah membusuk.

I am Elias Vance, and my life is a well-oiled lie. I don’t build empires; I dismantle them. For years, I’ve served the shadowy organization known only as The Syndicate, trained to be their most effective weapon—a corporate ghost who infiltrates, exploits, and destroys. My latest target is Thorne Corp, a multi-billion-dollar tech conglomerate, and the man at its helm: Julian Thorne. Julian is everything I despise on principle: cold, impossibly wealthy, and guarded by a fortress of privilege. He is also the key to The Syndicate’s grand prize, and my mission is simple: get close, expose his vulnerabilities, and trigger a catastrophic failure that leaves Thorne Corp in ashes. The plan was airtight until I saw the cracks in his perfect facade. The closer I get, the more I realize the aloof CEO is carrying a burden heavier than his fortune—a legacy steeped in secrets and a profound, aching loneliness that mirrors my own. Every late night in his office, every accidental touch, every shared secret drags me deeper into the man I’m supposed to hate. The line between my duty and my desire doesn't just blur; it dissolves entirely. Now, The Syndicate is closing in, demanding the destruction I promised. I have access codes, damning information, and a clear shot to finish the mission. But completing it means condemning Julian and myself to a future where trust is impossible. To save him, I have to betray my masters. To save myself, I have to risk everything I know. In this game of corporate war, I am the obsidian proxy, caught between two powerful forces, and my only way out is a choice that will either end a dynasty or cost me my life.

Trois mois avant notre mariage, mon petit ami a publié sur Instagram un certificat de mariage, à lui et à ma sœur adoptive, ainsi qu'une photo de grossesse de cette dernière. La légende disait : « Nous avons légalement accueilli notre enfant. » Ma sœur adoptive a commenté avec un émoji timide. Ma mère a aimé la publication et elle a écrit : « Quand le bébé naîtra, je vous aiderai à le garder. Vivez votre vie de couple sans souci. » Je ne pouvais pas m'empêcher de commenter un point d'interrogation. La seconde d'après, les reproches de mon petit ami se sont abattus sur moi comme une tempête. Il a dit : « Elle t'a juste emprunté mon temps pour un an, le temps qu'elle accouche. Ensuite, elle me rendra à toi. »
