The rain poured heavily over the city the night Aria's life changed forever.
Standing outside the grand hotel, she stared at the contract in her trembling hands. A fake marriage. One year. No love. No emotions. Just a deal.
"You only need money, right?" the cold, deep voice had asked her earlier.
That voice belonged to Adrian Knight — the youngest billionaire in the country. Powerful. Feared. Untouchable.
Aria had no choice. Her father's hospital bills were crushing her. This contract was the only way to save him.
Inside the luxurious penthouse, Adrian stood by the window, his sharp eyes unreadable.
"Sign it," he said calmly.
Aria took a deep breath and signed her name.
From that moment, she became Mrs. Knight.
But what she didn't know was this—
Adrian didn't choose her randomly.
She was part of a secret he had been hiding for years.
And this marriage?
It was never meant to be fake.
