I'm Victor Kensington, and everything I am exists because my family died powerless and I refused to follow them. I built a clean empire over a criminal one, then lit a scandal that trapped a rival dynasty and married their blind daughter to seal it shut. She is my wife by contract, not trust. I invent dangers that don’t exist just to justify holding her, and I lie to her face to keep her close. I control markets and men. I can’t control wanting her.
