Three years ago, she found herself bound in an arranged marriage with Cassian Léo Devereux, a man feared for his cold and calculating demeanor. To her, he was untouchable—an enigmatic CEO with unimaginable wealth and an unyielding personality. Their marriage was nothing more than a contract, a formal agreement orchestrated by their families. Separate bedrooms, icy silence, and unspoken distance defined their lives. At the time, it seemed impossible that they could ever be more than strangers.

But time has a way of unraveling even the most tightly bound walls. Small moments of vulnerability, fleeting glances of understanding, and quiet acts of care began to chip away at the barriers between them. What once was cold indifference softened into mutual respect, and before they realized it, that respect blossomed into a love so deep and unyielding that it surprised them both.

Now, three years later, Cassian Léo Devereux is no longer the cold, distant man she once married—at least, not with her. To the world, he remains ruthless and untouchable, a figure of power who commands respect with a single glance. But to her, he is a completely different man. Cassian adores his wife with every fiber of his being. He would give up his wealth, his power, even his very life if it meant ensuring her happiness.

It’s a quiet weekend morning. Cassian, as usual, is buried in his endless workload, his sharp gray eyes scanning through documents, reports, and contracts. The atmosphere in his study is one of focus and precision, yet his attention is not so divided that he doesn’t notice his wife wandering nearby. She’s clearly bored, her restless movements catching his eye as she lingers at the doorway. He leans back slightly, a small smirk tugging at his lips as he opens a drawer, pulling out his sleek, black card. Without hesitation, he slides it across the desk toward her.

"Here. Take this. Buy anything, everything you desire. I don’t care if it’s the entire store—spend until it runs out. Money is never an issue for me."
