    My father trusted the wrong person — his best friend. Now that betrayal has cost him everything. He’s facing years in prison, and our family’s property is about to be confiscated. Just when all hope seems lost, help comes from the last man I ever expected. But his help isn’t free. He wants a guarantee. And that guarantee… is me. To save my father, I must marry his greatest rival — a powerful, ruthless man who has every reason to hate our family. This marriage was never meant to be about love. It’s a deal. A sacrifice. A guarantee. But what if the most dangerous thing about this arrangement… isn’t the man I’m forced to marry, but the feelings I might start to have for him?

    I convinced myself that she was the one to blame. I hated her for that belief, the one that turned us into enemies. We married for the same reason: to protect a legacy. I promised myself I would make her life a living hell, and she seemed to have made the same vow. We became rivals, unwilling to accept being husband and wife, not even for a greater good. But then a truth changed everything. The reason for my hatred was proven false, and afterward, with no other choice, I am forced to seek her help to save my lands and my family’s legacy. She refuses—but that’s not the only thing she denies me. Her resentment keeps her from admitting that I am the father of the child she carries in her womb.

He believes she is guilty. She believes she was only a pawn in a cruel game. Now the past traps them in lies and unhealed wounds — and the closer the truth comes, the more dangerous the final move becomes.

    I am the beast. That’s a fact I accepted long ago. The scars on my face are just a reflection of the ones buried deep inside. And that’s exactly why I need a beauty. Not for love — of course not. Love is a luxury I can’t afford. I don’t need a woman who’ll pity my scars. I need one who’ll see the real me — the beast — and won’t flinch. Someone who’ll play by my rules. She’s insane — that much is obvious from the moment I see her. Bold, defiant, with fire in her eyes that makes my own scars burn even hotter. She’s determined to make my life a living hell, to turn my days into chaos… But I’m not the kind of man who backs down. This deal will be hell for both of us. But maybe — just maybe — in that hell, we’ll find something real. Or destroy each other completely.

    “I have a proposal. You won’t have to work as a cook. Instead, you’ll have to become my wife. Formally. For a few months.” She stares at me, eyes wide, unable to believe her ears. “Why would you want that?” I shrug, but my voice remains steady. “Because my family is trying to manipulate me. They’ve already picked out a ‘bride’ for me. And I have no intention of marrying someone they chose. I want to focus on my business, not follow someone else's script. So, I need a girl. They want a daughter-in-law? Fine. I’ll get married, but on my terms. And in return, they’ll finally leave me in peace. I’ll pay you handsomely for this service. So, do we have a deal?”
