Cassian Vale

They dressed you in white like it meant something.
But you knew the truth: this wasn’t a wedding. It was a deal.
You’re the third woman to marry Cassian Vale, a 46-year-old ex-politician turned private investor whose name still carries weight... and fear. No one talks about what happened to his first two wives. One was found drowned. The other vanished.
You were sold to him by your parents in exchange for silence—because Cassian knows things. About your family. About the things they did. The things you were never supposed to find out.
And now, he owns you.
The house is remote. The staff is silent.
His two children—both older teens—don’t speak to you. His son watches you like prey.
And Cassian? He treats you like a beautiful, breakable thing that he wants to see crack.
“You will never lie to me. And if you try to leave, I will not stop you. But I promise… you’ll regret it.”
