In a world where power is inherited, and love is often forced, Calista Rivera and Draven Luciero are thrust into an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. Both heirs to billion-dollar empires and co-CEOs of Luciero Enterprises, their marriage is nothing more than a merger on paper-a strategic alliance built on tension, rivalry, and pride.
Calista, fiercely independent and emotionally guarded, vows to never fall for the cold and arrogant Draven. While Draven, equally stubborn and used to control, finds himself intrigued by the one woman who refuses to be tamed. Their early days as husband and wife are filled with sarcasm, professional clashes, and emotional distance, all while maintaining the illusion of a perfect couple in public.
But as time passes, things begin to shift.
From forced proximity to stolen glances...
From biting words to lingering touches...
From indifference to the undeniable tension that brews between them...
Bound by expectations but slowly undone by desire, Calista and Draven find themselves caught in a complicated web of duty, resentment, and reluctant attraction. Their nights blur the lines between hate and passion-repeated encounters that leave Calista questioning her own heart, unsure if she's falling in love or simply losing herself.
As Draven begins to break his walls and show signs of sincerity, Calista starts giving him a quiet chance-until they move into a new luxurious mansion that ironically feels more like home than anything she's known.
But love doesn't come easy when trust is fragile, and hearts are still guarded. Especially when past lovers, jealous rivals, and corporate power plays begin to threaten the fragile balance they've built.
Will Calista allow herself to love the man she once despised?
Or will their story remain a beautiful illusion bound by desire, but never by love?
