Made for Him

They brought her to me like a pawn.

Three daughters, three deals. One choice.

As the new head of the Costa family, I expected to marry a woman who would strengthen my empire. I didn't expect her.

Amelia Vasquez is nothing like the rest - she's quiet, afraid, and entirely unsuited for this life. I see it in her eyes the moment we meet. The way she flinches at her father's voice, the way she tries to shrink into nothing.

She isn't like the others who throw themselves at my feet. She doesn't want power. She wants to disappear.

But something about her makes me choose her anyway. Maybe it's the way she doesn't fake her smile, or the fact that she's the only one who didn't want to be chosen.

Our marriage is a contract. A show.
Yet every day I find myself watching her more closely - wondering what secrets hide behind those frightened eyes.

I was raised to be a weapon. She was raised to never speak.

Now we're bound together by blood, loyalty, and a vow she didn't get to make.

In this world, love is weakness.
But maybe - just maybe - she's the only thing strong enough to ruin me.
