I gently lay the most stunning bride I have ever laid eyes upon on the bed.

She had fainted in my arms earlier due to exhaustion.

In that deep red attire—a stark contrast to her porcelain complexion—she looks like a beautifully broken rose but without clipped thorns, so delicate and alluring.

Mirha Ivanov might look fragile, but she possesses a fierce spirit, unafraid to confront challenges head-on. She's always so strong, never showing any sign of being weak or vulnerable.

The way she challenges me all the time, never backing down, the way she talk backs and her readiness to stand up for herself are the qualities that intrigue me the most about her.

But today she showed me her vulnerable side, and I didn't like it one bit.

My jaw ticks just thinking of what she was about to do moments ago.

She was so desperate to escape that she risked her life, I can't believe she attempted to fucking jump from the second floor.

My chest constricts at the mere thought of what could've happened if I had been a second late.

I am aware that pushing her into this marriage is wrong, yet I can't help myself.

I want her— no I need her to be my wife, to be completely and officially mine.

I don't think it's only about a damn contract anymore, even though I'll use it every chance I get like an A-grade asshole, as she likes to call me. But if it keeps her as mine, I'll use it. I'll use every fucking thing just to ensure she remains mine.

I don't know when this need to own her and have her all for myself happened, but it just did.

I'm not a very selfless person, but when it comes to her, I can be extremely selfish.

Whoever forced and threatened her to run away from the wedding, to not marry me, whoever made her so desperate better start counting their days.

Once I have my hands on that fucker, I'll tear him apart for making her cry, for pushing her to such desperation that she was fucking running on the streets. I'm going to make him regret every single thing he did, and then wipe away his miserable existence.

I believe Mirha. Yess I do. But the real issue is how in the world all the evidence has vanished just when she was about to show me?

I know Mirha isn't deceiving me, so I've already sent my men to the cave to investigate and analyze the blood found in the cage.

This person doesn't just want to stop Mirha from marrying me, there's something bigger at play, something sinister, and I can sense it.

If he truly had her sister, why now of all times is he blackmailing her? How does it benefit him for Mirha not to marry me? Unless it's that motherfucker, Hunter Blackwood, my business rival.
