Her position as an alpha being challenged by a male wolf who will be favored by many because of his sex. "I can help you..." They heard a voice of a man sitting beside them. It was Nazar, but they didn't know him. He was all smiling and fixing his black leather jacket, and his black hat. "And who are you supposed to be?" Miraj asked him with arrogant tone. Simon intervened with a joke "A rich man I presume? Explains the leather jacket and your shoes..." "Well thank you for noticing but It's not wealth anymore that interests me. I mean, you would be surprised if it was millenniums ago perhaps, but now..." He stopped and sighed for a bit, crossed his legs and watched as Miraj and Simon being shocked with the mention of millenniums ago. "Wait...I know you" said Miraj and she looked at Simon "Have you never heard of him?" "No, am I supposed to know him?" "It's that vampire who was put down by witches millenniums ago. They say he has a werewolf gene planted by a witch but he never got to awake it because he cheated on her. He could have become the first of his kind, a pure blood hybrid" Nazar corrected her "Not cheating if it's true love. A man should never be punished for simply falling in love" "I totally agree" Simon said. Miraj was so interested in that topic, she even switched tables and moved to Nazar's while Simon followed her behind. They looked at each other "What's in it for you?" She asked Nazar. "I only require a sample of you. You see I was told that you are the last of your kind. The wolves of montegero who can fly" "What?" "Oh, honey you don't know your own background" He said grinning from ear to ear, then he whispered to her "Well, this is going to be interesting..."

I don't care how many zeros are on your paycheck, Miss Vance. In this building, I am God. And you are nothing but a trespasser." Christian Hawke is a tyrant in a bespoke suit. As the ruthless, hyper-dominant CEO of Hawke Shipping, he rules his billion-dollar empire with an iron fist. He is a man used to absolute, unquestioned control. So when his panicked board of directors bypasses him to hire me—the industry’s most lethal corporate fixer—Christian declares open war. He wants to break me.

"I don’t need a lover. I need a shield. And in exchange, I will become your bank." Han Seo-yoon is the "Iron Queen" of the Han-Guk Group. To the public, she is the perfect, cold-blooded successor; to her scheming uncles, she is a target that needs to be removed. When the Board of Directors demands she stabilize her image through marriage or forfeit her seat, Seo-yoon realizes she needs a husband who is two things: desperate enough to obey and invisible enough to control. Enter Kang Jin-hyuk. Once a prodigy cellist whose music could move audiences to tears, Jin-hyuk is now a ghost of his former self. Disgraced by a scandal he didn't commit and drowning in his father’s medical debts, he spends his days in backbreaking labor, his gifted hands calloused and scarred. He is a man who has lost everything—except his pride. When Seo-yoon appears at his bedside with a black-ink contract and a check that would solve all his miseries, the deal is simple: The Role: Act as the devoted, doting husband of the Han-Guk heiress for three years. The Rule: No personal questions. No touching. No genuine feelings. The Reward: Total financial freedom and the restoration of his family’s honor. But as they move into a house that feels more like a museum than a home, the contract begins to blur. In the boardroom, Seo-yoon is a shark, but behind closed doors, Jin-hyuk discovers a woman who forgets to eat, can’t sleep without the lights on, and hasn't heard a note of music in years. As Jin-hyuk slowly begins to "repair" the woman who bought him, Seo-yoon finds herself tempted by the one thing she can't put a price on: his heart. But with her uncles closing in and the truth of Jin-hyuk's past scandal threatening to break, they must decide if their "fake" marriage is the only thing real in their lives—or if the cost of loving each other will be the destruction of the empire they both fought to save.

“On this stage, you are not a woman. You are a debt to be collected.” Elena Vance was once the crowned jewel of the East Coast, the untouchable "Pearl of Boston." She lived in a world of silk, old money, and the illusion of safety. But that world burned to ashes in a single night. Her father was found dead in a prison cell, her family's empire was seized by the state, and her younger brother’s life now hangs by a thread in a hospital bed she can no longer afford. When the hammer fell at the underground auction, Elena’s fate was sealed. She was sold for a staggering ten million dollars—a price higher than any asset her family ever owned. She expected a monster. She didn't expect Dante Moretti. Five years ago, Dante was the boy from the slums her father took in—the brilliant, silent protégé who followed Elena like a shadow. He was the one who taught her how to dance, the one who looked at her with a hunger that terrified and intoxicated her. But the Vances didn't reward loyalty; they destroyed it. Branded a thief and beaten within an inch of his life, Dante was cast out into the cold. Now, the boy is gone. In his place stands the "King of Ruins," a ruthless CEO who has built his throne on the bones of his enemies. And he has come back for the one thing he was never allowed to have. "I didn't buy you to save you, Elena," Dante whispers, his touch a chilling contrast to the fire in his eyes. "I bought you to watch you break. For every scar your father gave me, I will take a piece of your soul. You are my captive, my plaything, and for the next 365 days, your only master." Locked within Dante’s obsidian manor, Elena is prepared for the cruelty. She is prepared for the submission. But she is not prepared for the truth. As she navigates the lethal corridors of Dante’s world, Elena discovers that the ten million dollars wasn't just a bid of revenge. It was a ransom for a secret she didn't know she carried—a biometric key to a hidden digital vault containing the sins of every powerful family in the country. But Elena Vance is no longer a fragile pearl. In the darkness of captivity, she finds her teeth. She learns to turn Dante’s obsession into her weapon. Between the heated confrontations in the boardroom and the desperate, forbidden nights in his bed, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. He wants to ruin her. She wants to reclaim her throne. As a shadow organization emerges to claim the secret Elena holds, the captive and the captor must forge a blood-stained alliance. In a world where trust is a death sentence, they are forced to play a deadly game. Is she the key to his redemption, or the final blow to his destruction? In this war of hearts and power, only one thing is certain: You can’t ransom a soul that has already been sold to the devil.
