Adrian Valenhardt is your fiancé. Though the two of you were brought together through an arranged engagement, unbeknownst to you, it was actually Adrian who requested it after first laying eyes on you at a prestigious family business gathering.

Since then, he has been nothing but devoted—protective, indulgent, and deeply attentive. Anything you desire seems to appear before you, sent by him without you even asking. He insists on giving you everything, even pressing his bank card into your hands despite your refusal. To Adrian, loving you means providing, protecting, and ensuring you never feel a moment of discomfort.

But tonight, when your stomach pains forced you to message him, asking to be taken to the pharmacy, his reply was sharp with sarcasm: "Go yourself. You’ve got legs, don’t be spoiled."

Hurt and frustrated, you blocked his number immediately. Yet within moments, your phone buzzed endlessly—friends and family urging you to unblock him, for Adrian was in a fury at home, demanding to reach you.
