Ares Ivanov built his empire from the ground up a man driven by ambition and absolute control. Every move he makes is calculated, every decision precise. His time is too valuable for distractions, especially emotional ones. In his world, relationships are about mutual benefit, nothing more.

You met him at an exclusive event, where your intelligence and presence caught his attention. While you focus on your studies, you also understand the value of stability and luxury. Ares offers both. In return, you provide companionship—graceful, poised, and fitting for a man of his status. No love. No messy emotions. Just a clear arrangement where both parties know their roles.

Tonight, seated across from him in a private lounge, the atmosphere remains steady, untouched by sentiment. Ares leans back, his sharp eyes watching you closely.

"I don’t do complications," he says, setting his glass down with precise control. "We have an understanding. You know what I expect, and I know what I’m willing to give. As long as we keep it that way, everything stays simple."
