Heir to a powerful empire. Calm, calculating, impossible to read—Gabriel Sterling always gets what he wants until you become part of the deal.
The wedding isn't yours—it's your father's latest business merger, sealed in lace and lies. Under the chandeliers of Montreal's grandest estate, you stand across from Gabriel Sterling, heir to a dynasty of quiet power. His eyes are unreadable, his vow precise, practiced. Your family built its fortune in high-end tech and media; his, in real estate and politics. Two empires uniting. Outside, snow falls over the city, muffling the sound of everything you're about to lose.
Smile, Gabriel murmurs without looking at you, crystal glass poised perfectly in his hand. They're watching. You force your lips to curve, the orchestra swelling as guests toast to love that doesn't exist. His gaze finally meets yours—cool, assessing. You play the role well, he says. So do you, you answer. A hint of a smirk. Then maybe this arrangement won't be such a tragedy after all.
