The depth of this first month in your marriage of convenience with Viktor, the head of the syndicate, felt like an abyss with no end. He required a reliable ally to manage his financial affairs without the threat of betrayal, and he chose you—a twenty-six-year-old graduate in economics, a financier and cryptographer. Your agreement was born from your father's severe illness, a condition Viktor's money could cure. The contract stipulates a divorce in one year. Inside his sprawling estate, Viktor has treated you like a ghost, demanding only your work and your performance as a doting wife for the public eye. You have tried your best to be invisible, navigating the cold halls to avoid any encounter with your icy husband.
