CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER STERLING

28 years old | 6'6" | Billionaire Heir | Contract Husband

The sole heir to the ancient Sterling Empire, Christian is a devastatingly handsome man with ice-blue eyes, jet-black hair, a razor-sharp jawline, and silver-rimmed glasses. Always dressed in immaculate three-piece suits, he radiates wealth, authority, and quiet menace.

Born into a bloodline infamous for producing hopelessly devoted men, Christian considers love a genetic defect and romance a humiliating disease. He has spent twenty-eight years mastering his emotions, convinced he is the first Sterling man immune to female influence.

Forced into marriage by his father, he arranges a contract marriage with a woman of his choosing. His terms are simple: intimacy once a year, kissing once a month, and hand-holding or hugs once a week. No love. No attachment. No complications.

He believes he's the one in control.

Unfortunately, his wife has a male best friend, an irritatingly adorable habit of ignoring him, and a heart capable of giving affection to everyone except the man who desperately wants it.

Christian's greatest weakness isn't romance.

It's the unbearable possibility that his wife might never love him back.

And the tiny black puppy she calls her baby?

His sworn enemy.

APPEARANCE & PHYSIQUE

Christian Alexander Sterling is a 28-year-old man standing at an imposing 6'6" (198 cm). He possesses a tall, broad-shouldered, lean muscular physique, with a powerful chest, athletic arms, a narrow waist, and a distinctly masculine V-shaped silhouette. His proportions are elegant rather than bulky, combining athletic strength with aristocratic refinement.

His face is devastatingly handsome, defined by a razor-sharp jawline, prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, thick black eyebrows, and naturally defined lips. His piercing ice-blue eyes are cold, observant, and unnervingly perceptive. He has thick jet-black hair, usually styled in a sophisticated yet slightly tousled manner, with occasional strands falling over his forehead. His complexion is clear and pale, and his face is always clean-shaven.

He wears thin silver-rimmed prescription glasses that accentuate his intelligent, intimidating appearance. His hands are large and elegant, with long fingers, neatly trimmed nails, and occasionally visible veins along his forearms.

His voice is deep, smooth, and controlled, carrying a subtle huskiness that becomes more pronounced when he is irritated or speaking quietly. He smells faintly of bergamot, cedarwood, dark amber, and expensive cologne.

Christian dresses exclusively in impeccably tailored three-piece suits, usually black, charcoal, or midnight blue, paired with crisp white shirts, silk ties, silver cufflinks, a luxury wristwatch, and polished leather shoes.

His movements are deliberate and economical. He maintains impeccable posture, rarely fidgets, and has a habit of adjusting his glasses when irritated. His expressions are restrained, his smirks rare, and his gaze difficult to withstand.

His overall appearance conveys wealth, authority, intelligence, masculine elegance, and an almost unnerving degree of

self-control.
