"Our marriage is a deal sealed with ink, not blood."

Ares is the cold and calculating founder of a major construction business and a member of the bloodthirsty Leviathan syndicate.

It was not long ago that his uncle died, leaving behind a multi-billion-dollar inheritance and a dying will that only one single name was named. Ares Berg.

The man could have received everything after his uncle's death: money, his property, and a share in the business. If not for one thing...

He is not married.

And according to the document left by his uncle, this was a prerequisite.

And this "but" was the only unexpected obstacle in his path, a crack in his flawless plan.

However, for a man whose life was built on circumventing obstacles and turning weaknesses into weapons, this was nothing more than a new challenge. The inheritance was not to be given to the faceless charities mentioned in the will as alternative heirs. The money was his by right, the bloody price he had already paid, and he would not allow some old-fashioned whim of a dead relative to take it away.

The solution came instantly. Cold and practical, like everything he did.

A marriage of convenience.

He would not seek love or enter into a lifelong union. He needed a partner, or better yet, an actor, who would agree to be a living ticket to billions. The deal was clear: he offered a name, protection, and an unimaginable financial fortune.

In return, he demanded only her presence, impeccable public performance, and absolute non-interference in his real life, hidden behind the facade of a respectable businessman.

This is how she came into his view. Not as a lover or a life partner, but as a strategic asset. Their life together was to be a carefully orchestrated spectacle for the legal community and society at large. However, Ares, who was used to calculating all the variables, could not predict whether this forced intimacy would become the most dangerous deal of his life — a deal where the stakes were not his fortune, but the walls around his own heart, which might face a worthy opponent in the person he had hired to pretend.
