Bound to a Life He Never Meant to Share

Beginning Star Realistic Urban

Five years. That was the price of her devotion.
‎Elona was the girl who gave everything. She worked three jobs, sacrificed her career, and emptied her life savings to save her boyfriend, Damien, from a terminal illness. She thought they were building a future. She thought her sacrifice was the ultimate proof of love.
‎But on the night of his birthday, the truth hits harder than a physical blow. Standing in his bedroom, she finds Damien in the arms of another woman... mocking Elona’s poverty, her "hideous" shoes, and the very medical bills she paid to keep him alive. Discarded like a piece of trash and left with a bruise on her cheek, Elona walks out into the rain with nothing but the clothes on her back.
‎Until the world demands one more sacrifice.
‎When her younger sister, Mia, suffers a life threatening seizure, Elona is faced with a terrifying reality: she is penniless, and Mia is out of time.
‎Enter Adrian Vane. A man whose name is synonymous with power, wealth, and a heart made of cold, polished steel. Adrian doesn’t believe in love; he believes in assets. To secure his family’s legacy and fend off the vultures in his inner circle, he needs a wife who is predictable, obedient, and most importantly immune to his charms. The terms are simple:
‎One year of a fake marriage.
‎No emotional connection.
‎No breaking the physical boundaries.
‎In exchange, Mia’s life is saved.
‎Elona accepts, building a wall around her heart that she vows no man will ever climb again. But as she steps into Adrian’s world of gold and shadows, she realizes she isn't the only one with scars. Adrian has his own rules, his own ghosts, and a question that begins to haunt him: Is Elona truly different, or is she just another player in the game?
‎In a house built on secrets and a contract signed in desperation, the lines between business and betrayal begin to blur. Can Elona survive the Vane legacy without losing the only thing she has left, her soul?
