The billionaire CEO Bill Sky doesn’t love. He conquers.
The nerd Arabella Jones doesn’t trust. She survives.
An arranged marriage should have been simple; a contract signed, roles played, emotions locked away. Bill needed a wife who wouldn’t ask for more, wouldn’t challenge him, and wouldn’t get too close. Arabella was perfect; plain, unassuming, a woman who could disappear into the background.
But Bill never looked twice.
And Arabella knew exactly what he was.
Cold. Calculated. Dangerous.
A man who saw women as temporary pleasures, never permanent attachments. His bed was a revolving door of stunning socialites, none staying long enough to leave an imprint. Arabella had studied men like him, had suffered because of them. And she had vowed never to fall prey again.
The contract promised protection—no emotions, no expectations, no messy entanglements. But hate is unpredictable. It twists, morphs, and festers. It seeps into every word, every glance, every silent battle waged behind closed doors. They played their parts well, charming for their families, indifferent in their private moments.
Until something cracked.
An unexpected kiss and a brush of fingers that sent shockwaves. A gaze held too long, too deep. A silence that throbbed with unspoken questions.
Desire is a treacherous thing.
One night. One mistake. One shattered rule.
And suddenly, one of them is falling.
But the mansion keeps its secrets.
And fate—fate isn’t done with them yet.
