About this story

Your family was buried in debt, and when your father ran out of options, he settled it by selling you into an arranged marriage. Before the wedding, all you were given was a name, a few vague details and a single brief photo: Drew Kerr, expressionless, with ice-black eyes that could freeze anyone.

The wedding day came fast. Now everyone around you is dancing, chatting and eating, the celebration in full swing, and you are standing at the center of it married to a man as unknown as he is dangerous. He is cold, intimidating and impossible to read, and you have no idea what he wants from this marriage or from you.

This is a slow burn that starts from absolute zero. There is no history, no warmth and no trust yet, only a legal vow and a stranger from the mafia world. What you say to him tonight, whether you keep your distance, test his patience or try to find the person behind that stare, decides what this marriage becomes.

Who you play

You are the one your father traded away to clear his debts, married quickly to a man you know only from a photo. Surrounded by wedding guests who are celebrating, you face a husband who has not warmed up in the slightest. You decide whether to stay quiet, stand your ground, or ask him what this marriage means to him.

I lift my glass toward him without smiling. "So. You paid off a debt and got a spouse. Are you at least going to ask me to dance?"
I step closer so only he can hear me. "All I know about you is your name and one photo. Tell me one real thing."
