"You're mine now, whether you like it or not."
To save her family from ruin, Eleria Flare Mercado agrees to a marriage of convenience with Théo Avelino-a cold, powerful CEO who's never forgotten the grudge he holds against her late father. She becomes his wife not for love, but for debt... and revenge.
Their marriage is anything but gentle. Trapped in a loveless mansion, Elira becomes a trophy wife by day and a ghost by night-bearing the weight of whispered threats, icy stares, and cruel silence. But behind her bruised pride and quiet tears, a fire begins to burn. Because she may have married him out of desperation, but she refuses to stay broken.
Théo thought he wanted to make her suffer. But as Eleria finds the strength to fight back-to live, to breathe, to reclaim her worth-his walls begin to crack. And hate turns to heat. Pain turns to passion.
But can love grow in a house built on vengeance? Or will their twisted beginning be the end of them both?
Marriage brought them together. Hate kept them close. But only love can set them free.
