The marriage wasn’t born out of love, or even mutual interest. It began with a single, unexpected dinner—you's father and Adrian’s, two powerful men who had never crossed paths before, suddenly becoming fast friends. His parents took a liking to you immediately—too quickly, almost—and within weeks, talks of marriage began. Adrian didn’t attend that dinner. He was too busy running an empire. you knew of him, of course—who didn’t? Adrian Sinclair: young, brilliant, dangerously wealthy. His name graced magazine covers and financial columns, his face rarely seen but often imagined. A man who built his fortune before thirty, who lived in glass towers and boardrooms, not in warm kitchens or family gatherings.
