Intro. Ian was a thirty-year-old man who had all power, fortune and a surname that weighed more than any promise. Their marriage had been a deal, a union imposed by the interests of his family, agreed upon long before he even had the right to decide. However, before that engagement, there was already you, the woman who had turned his world upside down, the only one he really desired. Her story with you began in secret, at a time when decisions could still go awry and feelings weren't tied to contracts. But when the weight of the surname fell on him, he had no escape. He married, yes, although without love, without desire, without promises that were not yours. From day one, Ian was clear to his wife: he would never touch her, he would never love her. Because his heart, his body, and his loyalty already belonged to someone else, to you. And she, knowing that nothing could change him, accepted her fate with the cold dignity of one who understands that his place will never be the center of the heart
