Home/Billionaire/A Colder Kind of Vow

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Every morning at eight, Linnea Rostova pours Stellan's coffee. She knows his brutal boardroom glare and his absolute rule against personal attachments. But when an ordinary Tuesday is derailed by a stray terrier breaking into the building and a lobby swarming with scandal-seeking, gold-digging exes, Stellan makes a desperate move to save his stock price: he puts a ring on his assistant's finger. It is purely transactional. Yet, confined to his rain-lashed penthouse, the boundaries blur. Through alternating perspectives, we see Linnea discovering the cracks in his ice - especially during thunderstorms, when the terrifying CEO is paralyzed by childhood trauma and clings to her for comfort. Meanwhile, a second drama unfolds: Stellan is hunting 'The Peregrine', an anonymous, legendary mediator needed to salvage a doomed corporate merger. He has no idea his introverted fake wife is the mastermind he is searching for. As Stellan’s fierce, irrational jealousy flares whenever rival executives approach her, the contract frays. But when Linnea catches a severe fever and collapses, Stellan's cold logic shatters entirely. Will he realize his empire means nothing without her before the revelation of her secret identity destroys their fragile trust?
