Kaya thinks it’s only a contract. Until Asher’s mask slips. What begins as a lie becomes obsession. What begins as protection becomes possession. And soon, the man she called “boss” becomes the man who cages her. Because Asher doesn’t believe in love that lets go. He believes in love that owns.

But she had no choice. She forced herself to sign a harsh contract marriage for one year, with no love or affection, in exchange for the one thing she needed the most, to clear her name….

He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love.

And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.
