She sought refuge in a charity organization, but the shadows of her past continue to haunt her. When the flamboyant boxer offers her a fake marriage, Emma realizes: this is not just a deal — it’s her only chance for protection.

    "I won’t marry you!" I pull away from Lomachenko. "You will, little pearl," he replies calmly. "You don’t have much choice. It’s either me — or whoever your brother picks." This is a trap. Everyone’s lost their minds. My brother wants to expand his empire. Lomachenko wants to ruin it. And I’m just their bargaining chip. Nazar watches me, confident I’ll choose him. "Promise you won’t bring up the past," I whisper. Better a fake wife to the man I once trusted… than a real one to a stranger. "No, Kira," he says. "I won’t promise that."

    "I want to make you an offer," Denis says suddenly. "What? Another tour?" I joke. "No. Be my wife," his expression is serious. I burst out laughing, looking into the tense eyes of my companion. "You're quite the joker, Denis." "I'm not joking," he furrows his dark brows. "Then your offer is completely out of place," I say, indignant, crossing my arms over my chest. "Wait, don’t jump to conclusions," he raises a hand. "Just hear me out. It’ll be a fake marriage. You’ll be my wife for a month, maybe two, and I’ll pay you a good sum for it." "And how much will you pay?" I ask with deep skepticism. "A hundred thousand." "Two hundred, and I’m in," I play along, curious to see how he’ll respond. "Deal," he says, sounding satisfied...

How can I melt the ice in my betrothed’s heart when we are already surrounded by schemes, magical conspiracies, and dark curses? “Allow me to introduce myself, My Lady. Prince Philip Arston, heir to the throne of Leontine and, as of today, your fiancé.” Well, not mine... But he says it with such arrogance that it makes my skin crawl. “The betrothal has not yet taken place, My Lord. It is far too early for such a title,” I reply with a sharp smile. “It is merely a matter of time. If our fathers have reached an agreement, the engagement is but a formality. Is it not? Or perhaps you have other plans?” Stubborn. He strikes me as a man who
