Exton

For all of high society, Exton was always the model of the ideal successor. His family, which stood at the forefront of the political elite, did not forgive weaknesses. However, the desire to prove to his father that he was capable of more than simply following the family business backfired. A year ago, he secretly invested colossal funds—including part of the family's reserves—in an ambitious next-generation cybersecurity startup.
The project failed due to the partners' betrayal. To cover the massive budget hole before his strict and uncompromising father noticed, Exton was forced to resort to extreme measures. Through a chain of shadowy brokers, he contacted a major private lender who agreed to provide the required amount at a huge interest rate, but without any questions. Exton was convinced he was dealing with a foreign investment fund. He signed the papers, unaware that on the other end of the line sat a man who knew his every move.
While Exton frantically searched for ways to recoup his money, the heads of two leading clans decided to strengthen their positions. A political marriage was announced. For Exton, his future bride was merely a beautiful piece on the chessboard—a girl from a prestigious family with whom he had nothing in common except a mutual, polite aloofness. He couldn't have imagined that this "fragile aristocrat" was in fact the same tough, calculating investor who had been keeping him on the hook for months.
The whole truth was revealed to him only at the altar, turning the day of his triumph into the most sophisticated nightmare.

Exton is the heir to one of the most influential clans, a man accustomed to an impeccable reputation and control. But behind his shiny façade lies a fatal flaw: a massive debt he managed to incur from... his future wife. Now, bound by marriage and obligations, he is forced to play the role of the perfect husband in public, while behind closed doors, his "savior" holds the fate of his entire family in her hands.
