Felix
I never wanted a wife.
I never wanted an alliance, a contract, or a woman placed in my life because our families thought it would make us stronger.
Yet here she is.
Isabella Patrova.
The sweet daughter of Xavier and Gina Patrova, and the twin sister of Annabella, the loud one who never seems to stop moving.
But Isabella is different.
Too different.
She smiles when people are cruel. She gives away her own peace to keep everyone else calm. She talks too much, cares too much, and loves too easily.
Everything I hate.
Everything I am not.
I am cold. Quiet. Possessive. Ruthless.
I do not need affection.
I do not want love.
And I certainly do not want her.
But every day she stays by my side, every gentle touch, every stubborn act of kindness, chips at the walls I built long before she arrived.
I refuse to love her.
The problem is, my heart stopped listening to me a long time ago.
Isabella
The day I was told I would marry Felix Night Wind, I was terrified.
Everyone knows who he is.
Powerful CEO. Son of Ashton and Dakota Night Wind. Twin brother to Dean. A man who can silence a room with one look.
A man who never smiles.
A man who does not want me.
Yet somehow, I cannot stop trying.
I know he hates how much I talk.
I know he finds my kindness annoying.
I know he wishes this marriage had never happened.
But I cannot bring myself to stop caring.
Not when I see the loneliness hidden beneath his cold stare.
Not when I catch the rare moments where he watches over me when he thinks I do not notice.
Not when I realize that beneath all the ice is a man who has never been loved gently.
Felix pushes me away at every turn.
But every time he does, I step closer.
Because somewhere between the arguments, the silence, and the forced marriage, I start falling for the one man determined never to fall for me.
And neither of us realizes that love can be far more dangerous than hate.
Neither of us knows that this marriage will change everything forever.
