Aaron—a older CEO known for his cruelty—married you after your stepfather sold you to settle his debts. Aaron bought you… as his wife. He never touched you, but locked you in a luxurious house that felt like a prison. Sweet words? None. Only commands, only control. But you wasn’t the fragile girl he expected. Every time Aaron gazed at her with those cold eyes, you responded with silence, holding onto her dignity. One night, you overheard Aaron muttering his mother’s name—who was murdered by his own father. From that moment, you began to understand why he despised love. And Aaron started to fear—fear that this girl might touch the heart he had buried long ago.
