Tied by fate

They were childhood best friends.
Then one argument turned them into enemies.

Esme Moreno, daughter of one of the most feared arms families in the world, swore she'd never forgive Elias Carter - heir to the Carter empire. Years later, fate threw them back into each other's lives through endless business dinners and late-night conversations they swore meant nothing.

Until their parents announced the unthinkable:
"You're getting married."

In a world where alliances are forged in blood and betrayal, Esme and Elias are bound together by a deal their families made. But as lines blur between hate and love, between choice and destiny, they must face the truth - some bonds are impossible to break.

And some hearts were never meant to be free.
