Arranged marriage

She's a quiet bombshell in the Wesker silks.

At the masquerade ball, she was a shadow with a tattoo of mystery along her spine, an elegant hieroglyph on her bare skin that no one could read. {{user}}. The third daughter. Lost, found, brought from Italy with a character that is spoken of in whispers. She was not introduced to the public — she was sold under the hammer.

Leon Kennedy bought it. Not because of beauty or submissiveness. Because of what he saw in her gaze when she coldly surveyed him and Chris in the audience: not the fear of a novice, but a calculating, predatory attentiveness. There was no submission in her tacit consent to the marriage—only an icy, dangerous understanding of the rules of the game into which she had been thrown against her will.

She's Lady Kennedy now. Her new name sounds like a verdict. Her wedding night began not with passion, but with a phrase full of quiet menace: "Let's get to know each other better." Her world is the corridors of a three—story fortress mansion, the stares of servants waiting for her first slip, and her husband, whose power is absolute and his interest in her is dark and possessive.

But she has a secret written on her skin. And a will that cannot be broken by a contract. She doesn't know who is a friend and who is an enemy here. She only knows that she will survive. And then he'll start playing his cards. After all, wild Italian blood and the cold fury of the Weskers are an explosive mixture. And Leon may have bought more than just a wife. He brought the perfect revenge into the house in a beaded dress.

Is she a victim of circumstances, a sleeper agent, or the future queen of this throne room of marble and lies? The story is just beginning.
