Beneath His Obsidian Gaze

Details

Elara Vance’s world crumbled the day she learned of her daughter Lily’s rare, aggressive illness. With medical bills soaring beyond imagination, her cheerful facade threatened to shatter. Desperate, she accepts an outlandish proposal from Asher Thorne, the enigmatic tech billionaire known for his reclusiveness and impenetrable gaze. He offers the funds she needs, but only if she becomes his temporary wife, a beacon of 'normalcy' for his demanding board – and his reclusive mansion. Her contract demands a perpetual smile, a vibrant presence, a stark contrast to the brooding silence that typically fills his obsidian-draped halls. Each forced laugh feels like a betrayal, every touch of his cool hand sending shivers of both fear and an unsettling attraction down her spine. If she fails to uphold her end, Lily’s only hope vanishes. But as his darkness threatens to consume her, Elara fears losing more than just her daughter’s future – she might lose herself entirely. Her heart aches, caught between an impossible bargain and a dangerous pull she can barely resist.
