Hazem Renzo Salvatore was born to rule - not to love. And definitely not to marry a woman forced into his life by blood debts and power games he never chose. Serene Elin Moreau was born for normalcy - not for guns, ghosts, and the man who shattered her world and dragged her into his. Now they're bound by contracts instead of vows. Control instead of choice. Resentment instead of desire. She hates him for stealing her future. He hates her for becoming his. But hatred gets complicated when proximity turns into tension, silence turns into longing, and enemies start memorizing each other's breathing. In a world ruled by violence, loyalty, and bloodlines, love isn't weakness - it's betrayal. And when crimson loyalties collide, hearts don't break. They bleed. 🩸🔥
