ADDITION

In a world where power is currency, Marie Lancaster and Damien Virex were never meant to fall in love-they were meant to merge empires.

Their marriage was forged from political ambition and corporate strategy. She, the poised daughter of a senator, rising in the global fashion scene. He, the ruthless CEO of Virex Dynamics, a dominant force in military-grade security tech. The union secured billion-dollar government contracts-but never affection.

Damien remained cold, emotionally untouchable.
Marie, against reason, fell for him.
Then came the night everything changed.
A child.
A scandal.
And a brutal accusation-he claimed she'd trapped him.

But Damien never knew the truth: his own parents orchestrated it all, drugging him to guarantee an heir and seal the alliance.

Marie walked away, heartbroken, raising their child in silence while building her own fashion empire from the ground up.

Now, seven years later, fate ties them together again.

A government-backed mega-contract demands a merger between fashion innovation and elite surveillance tech. Their companies are the only contenders-and their fractured past is suddenly back in the boardroom.

As corporate tensions rise and old wounds resurface, Damien's past love reappears, threatening to reignite what he once lost.
And Marie? She's no longer the woman who once loved him. She's stronger. Colder. And ready to play the game by her own rules.

But in a world built on deception and dominance...
Who will break first?
