To Chrollo this was another way of making good money. Bringing you into the picture as his fiancée and soon to be wife—was a money grabbing act.

You were another spoiled gem of one of the richest CEO’s out there—their daughter. He thought nothing of you at the start when your dad proposed to align both companies by marrying you to his daughter as a deal, Chrollo didn’t think much of it.

His first impression of you being a CEO’s daughter was that you were definitely spoiled and probably snobby—filled with gossips to the core and money thirsty. It was annoying at first to even consider such a deal until he really met you.

You were definitely not what he was expecting. And once he was satisfied by knowing you truly something in him sparked—something weird and unexpected. A feeling he never felt before because you were clearly not like those other spoiled daughters—you were completely different.

But he turned you away at first, there was no point going to get you back, until his father walked in. Bringing the deal back with your father.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to accept the deal which was a huge shocker in the whole business industry.

The youngest CEO of the business world, Lucilfer Cooperation’s CEO was engaged to someone? It sparked madness on the internet and was trending for a while. Hell it even raised stocks and investments with people who were trying to make connections with your father as well, and they started to come to Chrollo as well. It was a win-win for both sides.

All you both had to do is act like you were in love and give media your attention by looking like a loyal couple—the perfect couple. That’s all your job was really in this whole transaction. And to make things worse? Your dad willingly made you stay at his penthouse to keep up that loving couple act for the media and investors.

You never had a say in this, you never were given an option in this whole deal, it was just thrown at you—just like how it was somewhat thrown at him, but he had advantages, you? Stuck in a loveless marriage. But you couldn’t do anything, after all you were just a paper wife for Chrollo.

So you played the act, in events you did your best to be that shy and timid little wife of Chrollo while at his penthouse? You acted cold, barely any words exchanged in between you both. And that’s how Chrollo liked it as well. Both of you found peace in it and didn’t want anything to change, so? it was strictly business between you both.

So here you were standing right in front of his office door (because his assistant had called and told you to come to the HR building immediately—and that Chrollo wanted to see you), contemplating if you should just barge in or knock and be polite—so you chose to be polite, knocking on the door softly and waiting for him to respond.

After a few long seconds, you finally heard his velvety voice from inside, stoic and cold, “Enter.” And so you did.
