Elena Vale and Lucien Blackwood were never meant to be anything… except enemies.
Their families have been business rivals for years, fighting for power, contracts, and control. Every meeting between them ends in tension, sharp words, and silent battles neither is willing to lose.
Lucien Blackwood is cold, calculating, and dangerously composed.
Elena Vale is stubborn, fearless, and refuses to back down.
They clash.
They compete.
They hate each other.
Until their families make a decision that changes everything.
To end the rivalry and secure a powerful merger, Elena and Lucien are forced into marriage — against their will.
Lucien makes one thing clear on their wedding night:
"This marriage is business. Nothing more."
Elena agrees… but living under the same roof with Lucien Blackwood is anything but simple.
The tension between them grows — heated arguments, lingering stares, jealousy neither wants to admit. The more they fight, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.
Slowly, hatred turns into something dangerous.
Something intense.
Something neither of them expected.
But just as their walls begin to fall, secrets surface — the rivalry between their families wasn't just about business… and their marriage may have been planned long before they knew.
Now Elena must decide if she can trust the man she once hated…
And Lucien must protect the woman who is slowly taming his heart — even if it means choosing her over everything… including his own family. 🖤🔥
