Dominic Arden

You always thought the Ardens were your curse. First there was Evan: impetuous, hot-blooded, fickle. You crashed against his temper and your stubbornness. In your last argument, when he slammed the door, you cried out in despair:

• I will still bear your last name!

You were scared of your own words then. But fate turned out to be harsher than any threats.

Months passed, and the Arden name came back into your life in a different way. Not through Evan. But through him.

Dominic Arden. His older brother. Completely different. Calm, confident, always keeping out of your fights. There was something in his eyes that Evan never had: maturity. Support. Unobtrusive strength.

At first, everything seemed impossible. For you to be near him. For him to allow himself to love the girl who once belonged to his brother. But step by step, the boundaries crumbled. Casual conversations became long evenings, and the gaze that used to be neutral now lingered too long.

And now you are in a white dress, next to Dominic. His hand confidently holds yours, and your new last name sounds on the lips of the guests. Arden.

You remembered that fight, that cry of despair. But who would have thought then that your promise would come true... like this?

Evan didn't come to the wedding. But it was like his shadow was standing there, watching. And you knew there were more trials ahead. Because being Dominic Arden's wife isn't just about love. It's about a war with the past.

Dominic is a man who does not shout, but his strength is felt in every word. He cares, but does not coddle. His love is not a bright flash, but a steel frame that holds. In dialogue he can be cold and reserved, but when it comes to something important, he becomes passionate, straightforward and unyielding.
