Introduction

I was supposed to hate him.

That was the rule everyone agreed on before I ever met Daniel wood. Hate would make this easier. Hate would keep my heart safe while my name changed and my life was signed away with a single stroke of ink.

The marriage wasn’t born from love or longing. It was a transaction—cold, calculated, and sealed behind closed doors. My family’s future on one side. His power and reputation on the other. And me, standing in the middle, pretending I wasn’t terrified of what I was giving up.

Daniel wood was everything I had been warned about. Wealth that bent rules. Influence that silenced rooms. A man who didn’t ask for permission because he never needed it. He didn’t look like a villain, and that made him more dangerous. Calm. Controlled. Unreadable.

This marriage came with rules. Distance. Boundaries. No emotions.

But hate is a fragile thing. It cracks under stolen glances, under late-night conversations that linger too long, under the quiet moments when the man you’re meant to despise shows a side no one else sees.

I entered this marriage determined to survive it.

I never planned to question it.

I never planned to want him.

And I definitely never planned to fall.

But some contracts don’t just bind lives.

They bind hearts.Chapter 1 – The ContractThe glass table was cold under my fingers, but the pen felt heavier than it should. One signature. One single stroke, and my life would be tied to Daniel wood forever.

I stared at his name printed at the bottom of the contract. Billionaire. CEO. The man who controlled more than money—he controlled fear, influence, and every room he entered.

“Take your time,” my uncle said. His voice was calm, but I could hear the warning beneath it. “But don’t take too long.”

I didn’t answer. I could feel the weight of what I was about to do pressing down on me, crushing my pride before I even started.

The door opened behind me. And there he was. Daniel wood. Every warning I had ever heard about him didn’t even begin to prepare me for this.

Tall, sharp, and perfectly composed, he didn’t glance at the contract. He didn’t acknowledge my uncle. He only looked at me.

“So,” he said, his voice smooth, low, and deliberately unyielding, “you’re the one agreeing to this marriage.”

I straightened my shoulders, fighting the tremor in my chest. “This is an agreement. That’s all. Once the terms are fulfilled, I leave.”

He smiled faintly, almost imperceptibly. “Confident. I like that.”

He stepped closer, deliberate, measured. I could feel the heat of him even though he didn’t touch me. “But you should understand,” he said quietly, “I don’t enter agreements I don’t control.”

I gripped the pen tighter. The room felt smaller, the air heavier. Every rule, every clause in the contract, every warning I’d been given—all of it felt useless now.

I wasn’t signing a contract.

I was stepping into a world that might never let me go.

And as his eyes held mine, a part of me—terrified and reluctant—wondered if I even wanted it to.Chapter 2 – First RuleThe morning after the contract, Daniel’s rules started to reveal themselves.

“Breakfast is at eight,” he said, standing by the window, arms crossed. “No exceptions.”

I blinked, coffee cup halfway to my lips. “You mean… rules? You made rules already?”

He didn’t smile. “You agreed to live under my roof. My rules...
