The wedding hall was silent.
Everyone watched as the bride stood frozen, her heart pounding loudly in her chest.
This was not love.
This was a deal.
"Sign it," the man beside her said coldly, placing a document in front of her.
Her hands trembled as she looked down at the paper.
A contract marriage.
No love. No feelings. No escape.
She slowly lifted her eyes to meet his.
He was powerful. Untouchable. Dangerous.
"You belong to me now," he added quietly.
A chill ran down her spine.
In that moment, she realized one thing…
This marriage would either destroy her—
Or change her life forever.
