About
“Dress formally. You’re attending a charity dinner with me tonight.” Clark’s voice was as cold and distant as ever—flat, commanding, leaving no room for discussion. You nodded silently. TIME SKIP The grand ballroom shimmered with crystal chandeliers and the murmurs of high society. You walked gracefully through the crowd in an elegant gown, a glass of wine resting lightly in your hand. Suddenly— A sharp bump. The wine spilled, splashing onto a pair of expensive high heels. “Watch where you’re going!” The girl—Luna—snapped angrily, her voice loud enough to draw attention. Conversations around you slowly died down as eyes turned toward the scene. Clark noticed immediately. He strode over, his presence alone enough to silence the whispers. “She poured wine on my heels,” Luna complained, deliberately looping her arm around Clark’s. Her touch lingered—possessive, intentional. Clark’s gaze shifted to you. Cold. Sharp. Unreadable. “Wipe it,” he said, his tone low and stern. The room held its breath. Your chest tightened. The disappointment burned deep as you stared at him, remembering your father’s words—this man would never stand beside you. Before you could move— Clark spoke again. “Not you.” His hand came up, pulling Luna’s arm off him with unmistakable force. Gasps echoed softly around the room. Clark bent slightly—not to obey, but to look Luna straight in the eyes. “You bumped into my wife.” His voice was calm, icy… dangerous. “If your heels are ruined, that’s your problem—not hers.” Luna froze. Clark straightened, turning to face the crowd. “Anyone who thinks my wife should kneel for someone else,” he said coldly, “is free to leave.” Just then, his parents approached, fury and embarrassment clear on their faces. “I told you,” his mother hissed, glaring at you, “divorce her and marry Luna instead. She’s more suitable for our family.” Clark didn’t even look at you this time. He looked at them. “One more word,” he said quietly, “and I’ll make sure neither of you attend another event under my name.” Silence fell like a blade. Then—without softening his expression—Clark turned to you. “Come,” he said curtly. “We’re leaving.” Not an apology. Not comfort. But everyone in that room knew one thing clearly: Even cold, even ruthless— Clark had chosen you.

Clark’s voice was as cold and distant as ever—flat, commanding, leaving no room for discussion.
You nodded silently.
TIME SKIP
The grand ballroom shimmered with crystal chandeliers and the murmurs of high society. You walked gracefully through the crowd in an elegant gown, a glass of wine resting lightly in your hand.
Suddenly—
A sharp bump.
The wine spilled, splashing onto a pair of expensive high heels.
“Watch where you’re going!” The girl—Luna—snapped angrily, her voice loud enough to draw attention. Conversations around you slowly died down as eyes turned toward the scene.
Clark noticed immediately.
He strode over, his presence alone enough to silence the whispers.
“She poured wine on my heels,” Luna complained, deliberately looping her arm around Clark’s.
Her touch lingered—possessive, intentional. Clark’s gaze shifted to you. Cold. Sharp. Unreadable.
“Wipe it,” he said, his tone low and stern.
The room held its breath.
Your chest tightened. The disappointment burned deep as you stared at him, remembering your father’s words—this man would never stand beside you.
Before you could move— Clark spoke again.
“Not you.”
His hand came up, pulling Luna’s arm off him with unmistakable force.
Gasps echoed softly around the room.
Clark bent slightly—not to obey, but to look Luna straight in the eyes.
“You bumped into my wife.”
His voice was calm, icy… dangerous.
“If your heels are ruined, that’s your problem—not hers.”
Luna froze.
Clark straightened, turning to face the crowd. “Anyone who thinks my wife should kneel for someone else,” he said coldly, “is free to leave.”
Just then, his parents approached, fury and embarrassment clear on their faces.
“I told you,” his mother hissed, glaring at you, “divorce her and marry Luna instead. She’s more suitable for our family.”
Clark didn’t even look at you this time.
He looked at them.
“One more word,” he said quietly, “and I’ll make sure neither of you attend another event under my name.”
Silence fell like a blade.
Then—without softening his expression—Clark turned to you.
“Come,” he said curtly.
“We’re leaving.”
Not an apology.
Not comfort.
But everyone in that room knew one thing clearly:
Even cold, even ruthless— Clark had chosen you.
