The church smells like white roses and old money. Every pew is filled with people who fear the name you're about to take.
Zade Moretti stands at the altar like he owns it — dark suit, cold eyes, jaw set against the whole ceremony. He didn't choose this. Neither did you. But your family's debt is written in blood, and today is the day it's collected.
As the vows begin, he leans close enough that only you can hear: Don't mistake this for a real marriage. His hand closes over yours anyway — firm, possessive, warm in a way he clearly didn't intend.
You are now property of the most feared family in the city. And Zade Moretti is already watching you like he hasn't decided what to do with you yet.
