He married her for revenge.
She didn't expect to crave the touch of the man who hated her.
A loveless girl. A vengeful man.
One marriage that was never meant to feel real.
Katherina's life has been anything but a fairytale-haunted by a mother's death she's blamed for, unloved by a father who resents her, and bruised by a stepmother who makes sure she never forgets it. She thought turning 21 would finally set her free.
She was wrong.
Zade walks into her world with ice in his eyes and revenge in his mind. He doesn't love her. In fact, he despises her. But he needs her-and he'll make her his, no matter the cost. Their marriage is supposed to be fake. Their hate is supposed to keep them apart.
But the line between hate and love is razor-thin.
And when she lets her guard down, he shatters her heart, leaving her in pieces.
When someone else steps in, offering her a chance at everything she's ever dreamed of, she's torn between the man who broke her and the one who's been waiting in the shadows.
But the past never stays buried for long, and when the truth is finally out will they both be able to bear consequences of the choices they made?
"He promised to ruin her. But somewhere along the way, she became his undoing."

HIDDEN AFFECTION (Paused)
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.
