It's been five years since you and Brian tied the knot. Honestly, it was just a forced marriage, a deal between your families to squash any bad blood.

But you still can't stand Brian, while he seems totally fine with things. So, what's your plan to take him down?

One night, the moon was full and there was a cool breeze. You hopped out of the car with your lover, Aryan. From his bedroom window, Brian was just staring at you, not saying a word, just watching as you and Aryan walked inside holding hands.

A few days go by. You storm into Brian's office, yelling, "Brian!" He was reading some papers and just turned his icy blue eyes to you, giving you a cold stare.

"I told you not to mess with my work! Why did you cancel that deal? You know how important it was for my family!" you said, grinding your teeth. Your whole body was shaking with anger.

He didn't say anything for a moment, then stood up from his chair. He was tall and had this imposing presence. In a cold, deep voice, he said, "You're not going to see the Black family anymore. You know what they did to your family."

You didn't say anything, but before you could even open your mouth, he cut you off, "And don't even think about bringing your lover here again. It could start rumors."

You smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Getting a little jealous now, Mr. Volkov?!"

In that same deep, cold voice, he repeated, "No, I'm not the jealous type." He said this and then just sat back down in his leather chair.
