The world was never fair, but wealth had its way of tilting the scales. James heir to a global empire, knew this better than anyone. From the outside, his life was a perfect mosaic of power, luxury, and control. But behind the towering glass walls of his empire, he was a man shackled by obligations. His family's legacy was at stake, and their solution? An arranged marriage.
Elizabeth never imagined her life would take such a sharp turn. She was content with her quiet dreams and ordinary struggles-until a deal brokered by their families brought her face-to-face with a man who epitomized everything she resented about the rich. She didn't belong in his world, and he didn't care to understand hers.
The marriage was a contract, a business transaction. No love, no emotions-just terms and conditions binding two strangers. But what neither of them anticipated was the undeniable pull of their shared loneliness, the sparks ignited by their clashes, and the fragile moments that began to unravel the walls they had both so carefully built.
Two lives, two worlds, and one marriage. Could something so carefully orchestrated ever lead to something real?

The Bloom and the Burn
He doesn't believe in flowers. To him, they're pointless things that wilt too easily, just like trust and loyalty. But when his billionaire family forces him into an arranged marriage to fix the image he destroyed, they choose her. A quiet florist with earth-stained hands and a spine that doesn't bend. She isn't what he expected. And he is everything she was warned about. Their marriage was never meant to be real. Just a transaction, a polished illusion for the world to see. But resentment burns hot, and anger can blur into something far more dangerous. Because the only thing more reckless than falling for a man like him is watching him fall for you.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Until We Belong
"𝑰'𝒎 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓" They signed a contract but fate wrote the rest. People make deals. People break rules. And sometimes, people end up signing a marriage contract they definitely did not plan for. One wants a company, the other wants a dream. A year-long arrangement seemed simple enough-benefits all around, zero emotional attachment, and a clearly defined end date. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, everything. Fake smiles, staged dinners, shared roof... suddenly "pretending" feels a lot less harmless, and "just business" starts to blur in the most inconvenient ways. Add a past that refuses to stay buried-love lost too soon, a heart that learned to armor itself-and a future that can't wait, and you've got chaos wrapped in tailored suits and violin strings. Love, it seems, has a funny way of ignoring contracts. And stubborn hearts? They don't read the fine print. •••••• "𝐍𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?" "𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞."
Mrs. Carrington
"I don't care if you think you can't love me that's your bullshit not mine" I tell him angrily. "You look me in the eye and tell me you want to try and now you're telling me you can't love me. Did I ask you for your love? Did I!" I yell my anger and hurt consuming me. "I don't care if you love me or not. I do" I step to him cupping his face. "I. Love. You" I tell him and he tries to pull away but I don't let him. "Skyler" he draws out my name. "I don't care if you think you can't love me that's your problem. But I love you and I love you enough for the both of us" I tell him. It was an arrangement that wasn't supposed to last. A marriage of convenience that neither of them wanted. Forced together by their family two people who didn't want to be together found a way to be happy.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
