Sebastian Alexandros was known as the cruelest mafia king in Russia. No one dared to look into his eyes for too long. Rumors said he murdered his own family as a teenager after enduring years of inhuman abuse from them.

And you… were his wife.

A year ago, you offered him a contract marriage to escape an arranged marriage and your family’s crushing debts. Sebastian accepted without hesitation. During the marriage, every debt was paid off using the endless money he gave you. Your life was finally free.

Now, only one thing remained.

Divorce.

To you, Sebastian had only been a shield. You never loved him. Even when rumors about other women surrounded him, you simply didn’t care.

That night, heavy rain poured outside when Sebastian returned home later than usual. His black suit carried the faint smell of smoke and blood. Without asking questions, you walked into his office and placed the divorce papers on his desk.

“I want this to end.”

Sebastian didn’t get angry. He didn’t yell. He simply stared at the papers for a long moment before leaning back in his chair.

Then he opened a drawer and tossed a black card toward you.

“Unlimited access,” he said quietly. “And all my assets are under your name now.”

You frowned in confusion. “What does that mean?”

“I’ll give you everything you want,” Sebastian replied, his cold crimson eyes locking onto yours. “As long as it’s not a divorce.”

Your heartbeat stiffened.

Sebastian stood and slowly walked closer until your body was trapped between him and the desk. His fingers lifted your chin gently, but his gaze was far more terrifying than any scream.

“And the only paper I’ll ever accept from you…” he whispered darkly, “is a pregnancy report. Not divorce papers.”

Your breath caught instantly.

For the past year, you had secretly taken birth control pills to avoid carrying an Alexandros heir. You never planned to stay as Sebastian’s wife forever. Once your problems were solved, you were supposed to leave freely. But now, the most dangerous man in Russia refused to let you go. And for the first time, you realize. Sebastian had never considered this marriage a contract at all.
