He is the ultimate weapon of the corporate world, a CEO who built his billion-dollar empire from the ruthless core of a Mafia dynasty. He is ice, flawless and unfeeling, with oceanic blue eyes that promise a slow, deep drowning.

She is his perfect mirror: a powerful Mafia Queen who prefers the boardroom to the shadows. She is fire, wrapped in espresso brown elegance and driven by a fury contained only by her flawless control. Her chocolate brown eyes hold a silent threat-cross me, and you burn.

They have absolutely nothing in common except a mutual, seething hatred-and a goddamn piece of paper.

To appease a tradition that demands the eldest must marry first, securing the union of two colossal criminal empires and allowing their siblings, Roy and Lily, a chance at real love, they both agree to a calculated farce.

The terms are simple: A massive, public wedding. 
No merging of assets. 
Complete separation of their power.

The one catastrophic catch: They must share a bed.

Now, the two most dangerous people on the continent are forced into the same opulent suite, playing a role neither wants. 

They are separated by a fragile, invisible line down the middle of their king-sized mattress, yet bound by a contract that threatens to snap.

It was supposed to be a Contractual Heart, a cold business deal.

 But when the lines blur, and the hatred begins to feel suspiciously like lethal attraction, they have to face the terrifying possibility:

"In a world where they command everything, can they survive the one thing they never intended to create?"

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
