Ariella gave Lucian everything - her body, her heart, her freedom.
For two years, she lived as his secret lover, believing her silent devotion would melt his cold heart. But when she arrives at her best friend's wedding, she discovers the groom is none other than him - the man who held her nights and shattered her days.
A marriage she believes is real - but isn't.
Standing in the shadows, she watches him smile at his bride, greet her like a stranger, and finally confirms what she's always feared: he never loved her. She was just a contract. A convenience.
Now, with their agreement nearing its end, she's ready to walk away. But he's not. Not anymore.
"You think we're over?" he growls, cornering her like a beast.
"We'll never be over."
Torn between a cruel but addictive love - she must decide: escape, or be consumed.
