The Ascent Between
Kiara Steele, a twenty-four-year-old girl, never dreamed her wedding would be sealed with silence instead of love. At twenty-four, she finds herself married to Samuel Stone, an aloof billionaire CEO, eighteen years her senior, a widower with no children, only to save her father's collapsing company. Their union is nothing more than a contract: no touch, no feelings, no expectations. But living under the same roof with a man carved from ice proves far more complicated than Kiara imagined. Samuel keeps his distance, haunted by the loss of his late wife, while Kiara struggles against the loneliness of a loveless home. For six months, they live as strangers bound by vows neither of them wanted. Until one unexpected night breaks every rule. In a story of sacrifice, secrets, and the forbidden emotions, Kiara and Samuel must decide: Will their marriage remain platonic or will fate turn it into something dangerously real? #1st in Developments (13/11/2025) 💖🔥 out of 19.7K stories #1st in Wholesome (14/11/2025) ❤️ out of 15.4K stories #1st in Aloof (17/12/2025) #2nd in Ageisjustanumber (14/11/2025) out of 1.44K stories Hello, dear readers!
