Khesshandria Vyeira Myreil Alcantes married Rowan Sylverick Sorell Dantierrez believing love would come with time. It didn't. To the world, they were perfect. Behind closed doors, she was slowly breaking for a man who never learned how to love her back. Until one day, she stopped waiting... and asked for a divorce. And that's when Rowan finally looked at her like she mattered.

At nineteen, Zelvanna Gairelle Velarrie was already married. Not to her crush. Not to someone she loved. But to her own professor. A walking red flag? No. A walking nightmare. Yes. Daevian was a strict, cold, and allergic to nonsense, was the exact opposite of everything Zelvanna was. She was loud. He was composed. She was chaos. He was control. In class, he terrorized her. At home, he ignored her. And somehow, between forced proximity, endless arguments, and daily chaos this marriage was slowly turning into something far more complicated than it should be.
