Killian Drake, the young and charismatic heir to the illustrious Drake Conglomerate, stands on the precipice of a life-altering decision. At just twenty-one, he has already amassed an extraordinary fortune, making him one of the wealthiest billionaires of his generation. Yet, despite his remarkable achievements and the luxurious lifestyle that accompanies his wealth, Killian finds himself entangled in the heavy chains of obligation, which he refers to as bondage. As the weight of his family's legacy looms heavily over him, he is brought face-to-face with an impending reality: his father, the formidable patriarch of the Drake dynasty, is nearing the end of his life. In his final days, his father reveals a shocking condition—his vast fortune and the prestigious inheritance will be bestowed upon Killian only if he first fulfills a critical requirement: he must get married. Caught in this precarious situation, Killian realizes he has no option but to comply with his father's dying wish. Torn between his desires for personal freedom and the duty to uphold his family's legacy, he embarks on a journey that feels more like a prison sentence than a celebration of love. The stakes are raised even higher when Killian makes the controversial choice to marry the daughter of his long-time rival, a woman whose family has been in bitter conflict with the Drakes for decades. This unexpected alliance raises questions of loyalty, strategy, and the true meaning of sacrifice. Will the marriage, initially conceived as a means to secure his family’s wealth, evolve into something deeper? Or will it merely serve as a constant reminder of his father’s iron grip over his life? As Killian navigates the treacherous waters of this union, he must confront not only his own feelings but also the explosive dynamics that arise from merging two feuding families. The path ahead is fraught with challenges, intrigue, and unexpected twists that could change everything he thought he knew about love, loyalty, and legacy. What will be the ultimate outcome of this entangled fate, and can Killian forge a future that honors both his family's legacy and his own heart's desires? The answers lie in a marriage that is anything but ordinary.

Raised in a poor and toxic family, constantly overshadowed by a manipulative, envious half-sister, she learned early on that survival often meant staying silent. And on the night she catches her boyfriend and her half-sister together, Lina runs to a bar… unaware that her fate is about to change forever. Across the city, Adrian Luce — the youngest and most feared CEO in the industry — hides a secret that keeps him isolated: a rare condition that makes him allergic to any physical contact with women. Any woman… except Lina. When their unexpected encounter ends in a blurry night with no memories, Adrian realizes that being close to Lina is the only thing that doesn’t destroy his body — and perhaps the only thing that calms his mind. The next morning, he makes her a proposal that will change her life forever: “Marry me. You’re the only woman I can touch.” Between secrets, jealousy, family drama, a secret marriage, and the ruthless world of the entertainment industry, Lina will discover that there is much more behind the frosty, possessive CEO… and Adrian will learn that the girl he chose to protect carries an identity capable of shattering everything he thinks he knows. But when one’s touch becomes the other’s salvation, neither of them can escape the truth: They were never meant to walk away. They were meant to find each other.
His piercing hunter green eyes locked onto mine, a tangible intensity that felt like a captivating force holding me firmly in place. In that moment, it became abundantly clear that he was the hunter, and I was nothing more than his prey, utterly ensnared by this man’s unyielding charm and raw magnetism. Each moment spent under his gaze felt like a thrilling yet terrifying surrender to something I could scarcely comprehend. Tears cascaded down my cheeks in steady streams, a physical manifestation of the overwhelming fear creeping into my heart—the paralyzing dread of losing him. The thought alone was enough to leave me breathless, as I grappled with the conflicting emotions swirling within me. I longed for his connection, yet the specter of uncertainty loomed ever larger. “Tell me, Steve, do you love me at all?” I found the courage to ask, my voice quivering with both hope and despair. It was a question that had haunted me for far too long, and I desperately needed an answer. He hesitated for a heartbeat, his expression revealing the internal battle he fought before responding. “You know I can never tell a woman my feelings, but you will come to understand it through my actions towards you,” Steve finally replied, his voice low and gravelly. With a graceful yet powerful motion, he encircled his strong, muscular arms around my waist, drawing me closer against his warm, solid frame. “I want you, Daisy, right now,” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear as his fingers began to trail up toward the hem of my skirt. My heartbeat quickened with a mix of excitement and trepidation, but I was painfully aware of the underlying tension that clung to this charged moment. “Stop, Steve! You're just using me!" I blurted out, my voice trembling but resolute. “If you truly have any feelings for me at all, I need you to understand—I’m pregnant." The words rushed out in a torrent, knowing full well that this revelation was likely the last thing he wanted to hear at this delicate juncture. Yet I had to stand my ground; there was no way I would even consider the thought of terminating this pregnancy. The prospect of a life growing inside me filled me with a sense of purpose that eclipsed even my fears of losing him. “We have to keep this baby,” I stated firmly, holding onto my resolve as I faced the man who could either be my comfort or my undoing.
