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.
