He never believed in love. She never believed in mercy. What looked like an arranged marriage was, in reality, a perfectly crafted revenge wrapped in a wedding contract. To the world, it was a powerful alliance between two empires. But behind closed doors, it was a battlefield where hatred wore vows instead of weapons. He despised her for forcing him into a marriage he never wanted. She despised him enough to destroy everything carrying his name. The contract was only an excuse. Because from the very beginning, she never came to be his wife- she came to become his destruction. Using her power, influence, and ruthless empire, she slowly burned his world to ashes, one betrayal at a time, until the family that once ruled everyone was forced to bow before her. But somewhere between revenge, obsession, and chaos... hate started feeling dangerously close to love. **THE HATE CONTRACT** "She married him to ruin him. He hated her enough to fall for her."

"You refuse to speak because you think your voice is a curse, Butterfly. A poison that destroys everything it touches. So poison me. Whisper their names, and I will gladly show you how a real monster burns the world to ash just to keep you warm. You think you are trapped in the dark with a psychopath, papillon. You don't realize I am just waiting for your command." - Nikolai de Rivel ____ To Leah, silence is the only armor she has left. Deaf, traumatized, and terrified of physical touch, she just wants to survive Ardencrest University without being seen. When she completely ignores the school's most dangerous French heir on her first day, she thinks she safely avoided a predator. She has no idea she just gave the Reaper Prince a puzzle he is dying to take apart. Behind his polite smiles and lethal elegance, Nikolai de Rivel is an empty-eyed psychopath who demands absolute, psychological control. He doesn't just want to claim her body; he wants to conquer her mind. Leah thinks the campus is naturally parting for her; she doesn't know Nikolai is viciously destroying anyone who steps too close. She thinks she is finally finding peace in the shadows; she doesn't know he is meticulously rewriting her entire reality so she has no choice but to crave his touch. He doesn't want to hide her from the monsters of her past. He wants to drag her into the dark, place her on his lap, and teach her how to rule it. He is the devil. And her rare voice is his trigger. ______ "The Reaper Prince | 18+" is the third book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series. {Can be read as a standalone}
