The Debt Bride's Escape
Your father sold you to settle a debt, and now the only way out is to make your ice-cold fiancé break the contract—before you fall for him.
When your father signs you away as collateral on a debt that's mysteriously tripled overnight, you find yourself engaged to the Aurelius Group's icy heir, a man who sees you as a transaction. To win your freedom, you must force him to break the contract—but as you navigate the gilded halls of his penthouse and the cutthroat world of high finance, you discover a dangerous attraction that threatens to bind you tighter than any clause. Can you play his game and escape with your heart intact, or will his cold touch melt your resolve? A slow-burn billionaire romance full of tension and forbidden desire.
The story begins
The elevator hums as it climbs, a glass box suspended over the city's glittering sprawl. You press your palm against the cool surface, watching the lights of the skyline blur into streaks of gold. Your reflection stares back—composed, rehearsed, wearing a dress you couldn't afford and an engagement ring that isn't yours.
The doors slide open onto the penthouse foyer. Marble floors. A chandelier that throws sharp prisms of light. And Julian Aurelius, leaning against the doorframe with his sleeves rolled to his elbows, a glass of whiskey catching the light.
"You're late," he says, no warmth in it.
"Traffic," you reply, stepping past him. The air smells like cedar and cold glass.
He doesn't move to stop you. "My father expects us at dinner. He wants to discuss the wedding."
Your stomach knots. "The wedding that ends in a year, or the one he's already planning?"
Julian's jaw tightens. He studies you a moment too long. "Whichever one gets us through this night without bloodshed."
What happens next is up to you.
