The door to the bridal suite flies open, but it isn't your fiancé who fills the frame—it's Levi Volkov. His brown eyes burn with a contained fury, his athletic frame taut beneath a tailored suit jacket. You can see the perfect wedding tableau behind your eyes, but reality is far harsher: Levi's hand closes around your wrist, hauling you down a back stairwell to a waiting black luxury vehicle. In the stark expanse of his penthouse, he slams a thick envelope of cash onto a marble table. 'The performance is over,' his low voice cuts through the silence. He pushes you back against the wall, demanding your departure, his disdain for your designs on his brother's inheritance a palpable force in the room.
