Kavya Kapoor has everything-beauty, wealth, and the ruthless drive that built her empire, Kavya's Glow, into one of Los Angeles' top beauty brands. She's flawless, untouchable... until her carefully curated life shatters with four little words from her mother: "You're getting married." The groom? Gerald Van Dyke-arrogant, magnetic, and heir to one of America's most powerful families. He's as infuriating as he is irresistible, and he wants nothing to do with this arrangement either. But their parents are determined to unite two empires, no matter the cost. What begins as an arranged marriage neither of them wants quickly spirals into a dangerous game of pride, passion, intoxicating hunger,and forbidden desire. Gerald's bold, public proposal sparks a fire that even Kavya can't control, while every clash between them only fuels the magnetic pull simmering beneath their hostility. Behind the glittering façades and flashing cameras, powerful forces are pulling strings. Family secrets, hidden agendas,and a legacy bigger than both of them threaten to turn their sham of a union into something far more dangerous... and far more intoxicating.

Chapter 1 Flawless until the fall

Kavya stared at the two people seated before her-her so-called consultant and her incompetent marketing manager.

"Do I have to do everything myself?" she snapped, eyes locking with Glory. "As my consultant, isn't it your job to foresee possible setbacks?"

Then her glare shifted. "And you, Mr. Paul-your incompetence is sickening. I've had it with you."

Paul shifted uncomfortably. "Madam Kavya, it's just a minor setback. These things take time-"

"Minor?" Her voice rose sharply. "How dare you? I don't pay you the big bucks for setbacks. You know what? Get out of my sight."

Paul stood quickly, ready to flee, but then-

"And clear your desk while you're at it."

He froze. Then dropped to his knees.

"Please, Madam Kavya. I'll do better-I'll work twice as hard. Please, ma. I'm good at this."

Kavya took a slow, cold step toward him, eyes like steel.

"I don't want good, Paul. I want the best. If I were just good, would I have built all this?" She gestured around the lavish office. "Would Kavya's Glow be the top beauty brand in Los Angeles if I settled for average? Now get your ass off my floor and get the hell out of my building!"

Paul scrambled out in silence.

She turned to Glory. "As for you, missy-I assume you already have a solution to this new problem?"

"I... you... actually... yes, ma. I do," Glory stammered.

"Good. I hope so. Because if not, you'll be out of a job very soon. Get out."

When the room finally fell silent, Kavya walked to the large mirror across the office. Her reflection stared back-a flawless, poised, powerful 26-year-old woman. Beautiful. Elegant. Fiercely driven.

CEO of Kavya's Glow. The face of the brand. A woman who built an empire.

"Oh, Kavya, stay calm," she whispered to herself, breathing in deeply. "Breathe."

She exhaled slowly, steadied, and returned to her desk.

Just then, her office door flew open.

"What's up, girl?"

Patricia.

Kavya sighed. "I should've known knocking would be too much to expect."

"Will you get over yourself?" Patricia grinned, plopping down in the chair. "You missed me. Admit it."

Kavya rolled her eyes. "Why are you so hyper?"

"Oh, I don't know," Patricia said casually, glancing around. "Maybe because I just saw a grown man crying while being escorted out. Any idea what that was about?"

Kavya didn't flinch. "Crazy things happen these days."

Patricia raised a brow. "Cut the act, Kavya. You made that man cry."

Still flipping through documents, Kavya replied calmly, "He was incompetent. I can't afford to have weak links in my team."

Patricia snatched the file from her hands. "Not everyone has to be a workaholic like you, or a perfectionist for that matter. Give your staff a break-and take one yourself."

"A break?" Kavya made air quotes. "Breaks don't buy stock options or Chanel bags."

They both chuckled.

"Well," Patricia said with a dramatic sigh, "a break does earn you some steamy sex with a hottie."

Kavya raised a brow. "I knew you were up to something last night. Was it that guy you sent me videos of?"

Patricia giggled. "Yesss, girl! He was so naughty. Had his fingers inside me at the club. Couldn't keep his hands off my boobs."

Kavya stared in mock horror. "How on earth do you hook up with random strangers like that?"

Patricia laughed louder. "Babes, it's called having fun. Something you clearly know nothing about. You should try it sometime."

"Eww, no thanks."

Kavya's phone rang.

She glanced at the screen,and her entire expression shifted, it was the most important person in her life

"Looks like someone's missing me," she teased.

A warm, familiar laugh came from the other end. "Yes, dear. But I also need to see you. There's something I need to announce."

"Mom, I'm working. What's the announcement?"

There was a short pause.

"Kavya... you're getting married."

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.
