Kiera never believed in second chances-not after the heartbreak that shattered her. And Alexander? Love was never part of his equation; wealth, power, and ambition were all he ever needed. When an arranged marriage throws them into each other's lives, it's nothing but cold glances and polite distance. They're strangers playing roles, living under the same roof but worlds apart. Yet in the quiet moments between the silence, something begins to shift. What starts as obligation slowly turns into something neither of them expected-something real. But can two broken hearts learn to trust love again, especially when it was never meant to be part of the deal?

She stood up and put on a white heels and carried a white bag,
Kiera went out of her room and entered the kitchen, she quickly fixed herself a breakfast of toasted bread with egg and bacon,
After eating her breakfast, she picked her car key on the shelf and locked her apartment.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
