A marriage arranged between two powerful families was never supposed to be about love. Y/n Whitmore was raised knowing her future would belong to the family name. So when her parents arrange her marriage to Sebastian Blackwood—the younger son of another wealthy dynasty—she has little choice but to accept. To the outside world, their marriage is flawless. Behind closed doors, Sebastian is cold, distant, and repeatedly unfaithful. Yet both families continue to push the same expectation onto them: children, an heir, and a future that will secure the Blackwood and Whitmore empires. Then there’s Adrian Blackwood. Sebastian’s older brother. Y/n’s childhood enemy. They’ve spent most of their lives arguing, competing, provoking each other, and insisting they couldn’t stand one another. Even now, Y/n is convinced Adrian still hates her. What she doesn’t know is that somewhere along the way, his hatred disappeared. And Adrian has spent years hiding what replaced it.
