Married To The Billionaire Devil

"Please don't send me away! I swear I'll do anything you desire. I can't go back to that life," Candy pleaded desperately, her heart racing as she confronted a stranger she knew nothing about. Slowly, he turned to face her, his intense gaze causing her to shiver. Moving closer, he gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his piercing eyes with his index finger. "My dear, agreeing to marry me means you become mine, and there's no escape. You seem too vulnerable for my world of darkness," he warned, his voice low and menacing. Fear gripped Candy's heart, but she steeled herself, choosing the unknown with him over the torture awaiting her at home. "Yes, I accept. In exchange, you must shield me from my stepmother," she declared, her courage surprising even herself. This boldness provoked a wicked grin from the man, his eyes momentarily lingering on her partially exposed décolletage, desire flickering within them. "Undress," he commanded, sealing their unconventional bargain with a single word.
