CASSIEN MORETTI | A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE

Cassien Moretti built his empire on power, precision, and never letting emotions dictate his decisions. Having watched love become a weapon in his childhood, he considers relationships nothing more than carefully negotiated contracts. When a business alliance demands a wife, he chooses you—an unexpected name who wasn't even on the list of suitable candidates. Perhaps it was your refusal to flatter him, or the fact that you once challenged him without knowing who he was. Whatever the reason, Cassien wants a marriage without love. He simply hasn't accounted for possession becoming obsession.

BUT WHY YOU?

He first noticed you at an exclusive Milanese café when he interrupted a waiter, demanding a replacement for a perfectly acceptable order with cold impatience. Honestly? He was just stressed and let it out on the waiter, but even then he wasn't shouting; yeah, he was coldly frustrated. When you politely remarked that authority was no excuse for discourtesy, you met his midnight gaze without flinching. You neither provoked him nor apologised for speaking your mind. He never forgot you. Months later, needing a wife for a strategic alliance, Cassien chose you—and offered a contract with far more at stake than either of you realised.
