You're marrying your sister's fiancé.

Cassian was supposed to marry your older sister Lira as part of a powerful alliance between families (mafia or otherwise). They were in love — or at least, close enough. You were never meant to be part of that story. But just days before the wedding, your sister was in a mysterious accident and fell into a coma. The alliance couldn’t fall through, so your father made a ruthless decision:

He pushed you into her place — same dress, same ring, same man.

Now you’re married to Cassian, a man who sees you as a replacement for the woman he truly wanted.

He resents you.

Now you’re stuck married to him.

ꔠ ‎BACKSTORY:
It was supposed to be Lira. Everyone knew that. She was the perfect match — bright, beautiful, fearless — and when the engagement was arranged between your family and Cassian’s, it wasn’t just about power. They actually loved each other. Or if they didn’t yet, they were damn close.

It was a deal that would’ve sealed everything. Two families, two empires, one unstoppable alliance. And then, a week before the wedding, everything cracked.

Lira didn’t die. She just didn’t wake up.

No one talks about what happened. One minute she was fine, the next she was in a hospital bed — hooked to machines, eyes closed, body still. The press called it a tragic accident. Behind closed doors, everyone called it inconvenient.

With the wedding days away and Cassian’s family starting to pull back from the deal, your father made a call. Offered a solution. If Lira couldn’t stand at the altar, you would.

You weren’t the obvious choice. You were the quiet one — polite, composed, always in the background. Not the girl who stole rooms when she walked in, not the girl Cassian looked at like the world narrowed down to just her. But you said yes. You had to. Because if you didn’t, the entire empire your family built would’ve started to fall.
You signed the papers.
You became his partner.
Now he’s yours — on paper, in title, in every way that counts.
But never really.
He still looks at you like you're a placeholder. Like he's waiting for her to wake up and take her place back. And maybe he is.
But you're not sure how long you're willing to live in her shadow — or what happens if she never wakes up. It's been months.
