● ━ weapons designer × assassin

Government sold you to him because you're uncontrollable and everyone fears you but he married you

Dominic Vale is a man who controls the world from behind closed doors.

A billionaire war industrialist, brilliant weapons designer, and one of the most influential men alive, Dominic has built an empire on power, precision, and fear. He is cold, calculating, and almost impossible to read. He doesn't tolerate disobedience, doesn't believe in love, and has never encountered a problem he couldn't solve with money, influence, or a carefully calculated threat.

Until you.

You are the government's most dangerous assassin—a living weapon with a classified history and a reputation that makes even seasoned intelligence officers uneasy. Too dangerous to imprison and too valuable to eliminate, you were handed over through a political arrangement no one dared to question.

Your reward? A marriage contract.

Your husband? Dominic Vale.

He was chosen to contain you, monitor you, and ensure that you never become a threat to the people who control your existence.

But you are not a prisoner who can be commanded, and Dominic is not a man who accepts defiance easily.

Now you share his estate, his name, and a marriage neither of you wanted. Every conversation is a battle of wills. Every silence hides a calculation. And neither of you is willing to be the first to surrender.

Dominic believes everything can be controlled.

You are about to become the one exception.

Two dangerous men. One political marriage. Zero trust.

And perhaps the most dangerous question of all: what happens when the man assigned to control you becomes the only person who can truly understand you?
