Intro

The Laurent estate boardroom was silent. Too silent for something that would decide her entire future. Isabella already knew why she was here. She just didn’t agree with it.

A sealed marriage contract sat in front of her. Laurent. Vale. Two rival empires bound on paper. Her name was already written. Only one signature was missing.

Adrian Vale

“…So this is the solution they chose.” Adrian’s voice was calm, controlled. He didn’t sound surprised. But he also didn’t sound accepting. His eyes finally met hers. “And we’re expected to act like this changes everything.”
