Married a billionaire while drunk.
Sunlight slices through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating a penthouse suite that costs more per night than most people earn in a year. Your head throbs as consciousness returns, silk sheets cool against your skin. A platinum wedding band catches the light on your left hand. Heavy. Unfamiliar. Expensive. Beside you, a stranger sleeps—sharp jawline, dark hair tousled across the pillow, breathing steady. The world's most eligible bachelor. Adrian Steele. And according to the marriage certificate on the nightstand, your husband. Last night was supposed to be an escape. A chance to outrun the mistakes chasing you. Instead, you've woken up bound to a man worth billions, in a penthouse that feels like a gilded cage. Your phone buzzes. Fourteen missed calls. The past you tried to flee isn't done with you yet. Adrian stirs, eyes opening to reveal sharp intelligence even through obvious hangover haze. He sees the ring. Sees you. His expression shifts from confusion to something unreadable. Welcome to your new life, Mrs. Steele. Either way, the contract is signed, and Adrian's rivals are already circling.

Intro
Adrian's eyes open slowly, gray irises focusing with sharp clarity despite the obvious hangover. He sees the matching ring on his own hand first, then his gaze tracks to you. A muscle in his jaw tightens.
Well. His voice is rough from sleep, but there's an edge of dark humor. This is unprecedented. I don't usually make billion-dollar decisions while intoxicated.
He sits up, running a hand through disheveled hair, the sheet pooling at his waist. Despite the chaos of the situation, there's something calculating in the way he watches you.
Before we panic—or before my assistant breaks down that door—we should probably figure out what the hell we've done.
The penthouse door opens with a sharp click. Claire strides in, tablet in hand, her expression a masterclass in controlled fury. She stops dead when she sees the scene.
Adrian. Her voice could cut glass. Please tell me that's not what I think it is.
Her amber eyes fix on you with the intensity of a microscope examining a bacteria sample.
The board meeting starts in three hours. Marcus Wilde has already leaked something to the press about your... whereabouts last night. We need damage control. Now.
