The Billionaire's Pawn

In London, I've always been a rule-abider, but everything changed when the enigmatic and irresistible Cade, whom I disliked for two long years, unexpectedly became my temporary bodyguard. His dedication to work as a Striker – never mixing business with pleasure – was apparent, but his eyes held a hidden pain whenever they met mine. As my father's threat loomed over my beloved business, Cade stepped forward unexpectedly, offering to help. Our arranged marriage, initially meant as a solution, now entangled us in a web of complications. The more time we spent together, the surprising realization dawned: my feelings for him ran deeper than I'd anticipated. --- As a professional Striker, I've never lost my focus at work. When London crossed my path as a client, her allure was undeniable, despite her animosity towards me. Little did I know, a night of unexpected intimacy left us engaged the next morning. Playing the role of her devoted husband was tempting, but our union was manipulated by her father's schemes. With her safety at risk and our marriage hanging in the balance, I reached out to a last resort. In the midst of危机, London revealed herself to be the one person who had become indispensable to me.
