My life was supposed to be a reflection of family honor and tradition, not a scripted engagement to a man I barely know. Julian Archer-wealthy, powerful, and everything my father admires-was never part of the plan. Yet here I am, standing on the edge of a future I never chose, caught between obligation and the desire for something real. But as the lines between duty and passion blur, I find myself drawn to the enigmatic man behind the polished facade. Julian's world is intoxicating, filled with glittering lights and promises of grandeur, but beneath the charm lies a truth neither of us is ready to confront. Can two people, bound by a contract they didn't write, discover a connection that goes beyond expectations? Or will the weight of our obligations bury the possibility of something real? This is my journey-to break free from the chains of duty and find a love worth fighting for, even if it means rewriting the rules.
