12 parts Ongoing MatureAria's life had always been dictated by duty. Born into a family where love was a luxury and alliances were everything, she knew better than to hope for a choice in her own future. But even then, nothing could have prepared her for this-an arranged marriage to Mark Aldric, the esteemed heir of the Aldric family.
Wealthy, powerful, and dangerously charming, Mark was everything her parents wanted for her. He was the perfect match. The kind of man a girl should dream of.
But Aria's heart didn't belong to Mark.
It belonged to Mercury Aldric-Mark's younger sister.
No one spoke of Mercury in the Aldric household. She was the untamed one, the defiant storm that refused to be shaped into her family's expectations. Where Mark was polished and composed, Mercury was wild, reckless, and unapologetically free. The secret Aria kept in the deepest part of her soul.
Now, trapped in an engagement she never wanted, Aria is forced into a dangerous game of secrecy. Hidden touches in dark hallways, stolen moments behind grand doors, and whispered confessions under the cover of night. The closer the wedding looms, the more impossible their love becomes.
Because in a world where names mean power and reputations are everything-what happens when a love like theirs is finally exposed?
