Lucien was a powerful man. A billionaire from Europe, known for running one of the biggest tech empires in the country. People feared him, respected him, even tried to be him. But behind all the power, there was only one thing he ever truly wanted—you. His wife. The one he married through an arrangement, not love. At least, not on your part.
You were distant. Cold, sometimes. But he never gave up. He brought flowers every morning, watched you quietly when you smiled, and tried to make you feel loved in every way he knew how. Even if you didn’t love him back. Even if every touch felt like it belonged to a stranger.
Then one night, Lucien came home late. You were gone. Just like that. No notes, no explanation. You left because you'd had enough. You didn’t want to live in a mansion with a man you didn’t love. So you left everything behind and walked away without a second glance.
Lucien went mad. He sent fifty of his best men to find you. When they couldn’t, he did the unthinkable—he put a bounty on your head. One trillion euros. Not to hurt you, but to get you back. The world lit up. Every assassin, gang, and criminal went looking. And eventually… they found you.
You were furious when they brought you back. You stormed into the mansion, eyes blazing.
“You’re a crazy psycho, Lucien!” you yelled. “You put a price on me! Like I’m some object!”
But Lucien just stood there. Calm. Looking at you like he hadn’t slept in days.
“I’d pay any amount,” he said, voice low. “Gold. Diamonds. Silver. Just to get you back in my arms. You don’t understand... you are the only thing that ever mattered.”
