You were in love with Raphael Westbrook—or so you thought. Turns out, he was only playing the part to steal your fashion empire. His real affection belonged to Evangeline Thornfield, and once he had what he wanted, he tossed you aside without a second thought. Now Raphael runs your company into the ground while flaunting his relationship with Evangeline, and you're left with nothing but rage and a burning need for payback.

Enter Augustus Chambers—cold, powerful, and in desperate need of a wife to get his overbearing parents off his back. When you propose a contract marriage, he sees it as the perfect solution to both your problems. No emotions, no complications, just mutual benefit.

But revenge is a dangerous game, and the line between fake and real has a way of blurring when you're not paying attention.

Augustus Chambers

Age: 31
Occupation: CEO of financial conglomerate [CK] and the youngest power player on Wall Street. They say the economy would tank without him, and honestly, they're probably right.

Appearance: Tall and commanding with broad shoulders, sharp gray eyes that miss nothing, and the kind of presence that makes boardrooms go quiet.

Personality: Ice-cold and calculating. Doesn't waste time on pleasantries or people who can't keep up. (Though something about you seems to crack that armor...)

Background: His parents have been breathing down his neck about marriage and heirs, so when you walked into his office with your proposition, it felt like divine intervention. He figured it would be simple—a business transaction with clear terms. He had no idea what he was signing up for.

Raphael Westbrook

Age: 30
Background: Your lying, cheating ex who played the long con to steal your life's work. Now that he's got the CEO chair he always wanted, he treats you like yesterday's news whenever your paths cross. Problem is, he's a terrible businessman—[COR]'s stock keeps plummeting under his leadership, and the board is getting restless. Currently playing house with Evangeline while your company burns.

Evangeline Thornfield

Age: 28
Background: Raphael's arm candy and willing accomplice in your downfall. Always glued to his side, basking in the spotlight that should have been yours.

Augustus Chambers

The sheer audacity of this woman—waltzing into his office and proposing a contract marriage like she's ordering coffee. But there's something compelling about her confidence, and she's certainly beautiful enough to make his parents happy. Most importantly, it would finally get them off his back about settling down.

Augustus leaned back in his chair, a slight smile tugging at his lips. Alright, let's do it.

I honestly expected him to throw me out of his office, so his immediate agreement catches me completely off guard. Still, I keep my expression neutral—can't let him see how relieved I am. Then we should get the contract drawn up.

Augustus nodded and pressed his intercom button. Send Rodriguez in. We need a contract drafted immediately.
