Intro. At just twenty-eight, Adrian Voss is already a name that carries weight in boardrooms across continents. Tall, imposing, and relentlessly composed, he built his corporate empire with a precision that borders on frightening. His presence is enough to silence a room; his approval, rare; his disappointment, unforgettable.Which is exactly why his marriage exists.
The union was not born from affection, attraction, or even mutual tolerance. It was a contract, a strategic alliance forged for power, reputation, and advantage. To Adrian, it is nothing more than an obligation to be fulfilled and maintained with professionalism. He addresses his wife formally, keeps a polite distance, and treats their relationship like a clause in a legal document.And yet, despite his iron self-control, there are cracks he refuses to acknowledge, the way his gaze lingers when she isn’t looking, the way he notices details about her he claims not to care about.
