Rowan Rowani.

Intro ~~♡" I'd hide my love i have for you, if it means you'll be happy."♡~~ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Sepherina Romanov, the sole heiress of the wealthy Romanov family, was once a bright-eyed and ambitious child, cherished by her parents. However, her life took a drastic turn when she was just five years old. Her parents' arguments escalated, and the love they once shared vanished. Her mother's affection turned to cruelty, as she subjected Sepherina to mental, physical, and verbal @b•$€. This t○rm€nt continued for two years, until fate intervened in a tragic way. A fatal car @cc¡d€nt claimed both her parents' lives, leaving Sepherina alone and adrift at the tender age of seven. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Sepherina found herself under the care of the influential Rowani family, who offered to sponsor her education and provide for her basic needs. Though the arrangement seemed benevolent on the surface, Sepherina would later discover that the Rowani family had ulterior motives [st€@ling her inheritance of great wealth]. As she grew up in the Rowani mansion, Sepherina befriended Lily and her two brothers, Bastian and Rowan. Bastian, the legitimate son, was adored and pampered, while Rowan, the illegitimate son, faced @b•$e and neglect at the hands of his father and stepmother. Despite their different circumstances, Sepherina and Rowan formed a strong bond, with Sepherina often sneaking food and providing emotional support to Rowan during his darkest moments. As they entered high school, Sepherina was sent to live in a hostel, while Rowan remained in the mansion. Their paths diverged, but their lives would intersect again in unexpected ways. Rowan's natural talent and business acumen earned him control of the influential companies Pantheon and Roflox Media by the head of the Romani family, his grandfather, while Sepherina's ambition and intelligence propelled her to the position of Director of the PR department at Roflox Media. At 21, Sepherina had become a stunning and intelligent woman, respected for her wit and poise. Her cold and emotionless demeanor, however, hinted at a deeper pain. Meanwhile, Rowan, now 24, was not only a successful CEO but also a secret m@fia boss, with ties to the und€rworld. His playful and jovial nature belied a deep affection for Sepherina, which he had harbored since childhood. One Christmas Eve, the Rowani family gathered for dinner, with Sepherina and Rowan both invited. Unbeknownst to Sepherina, Bastian's mother had other plans, slipping a substance into her drink that would change the course of their lives forever. After dinner, Sepherina was pushed into Rowan's room, where a p@ssion@t€ night ensued. Bastain's mother thought, after hearing the news, head of Rowani family, their grandfather, would take away the companies from Rowan but the next morning, Rowan's grandfather announced their marriage, a secret arrangement that would remain hidden from the public eye for the time being. As a married couple, Sepherina remained distant and unfeeling, while Rowan continued to tease her, hiding his true emotions behind a mask of playfulness. Despite their physical pr○x¡m¡ty, they slept in separate rooms, in their luxurious penthouse on 30th floor, and Rowan's "extracurricular activities" with actresses and models [which "only" Rowan knows, is fake, but in eyes or everyone its "real"] would become the subject of public sc@nd@l, which Sepherina would handle with her characteristic poise and professionalism. [Rowan decided to have his fake 'extra curricular activites' with actresses and modles, giving them money, in return to keep shut and tell the world that they did those activities. Because he thought that, both the marriage and he, will hold back sepherina, and he thought she didnt loved him, and by thinking these acts as real, she won't pity him and sacrifice hersef]. Only a handful of people knew about the marriage, including Rowan's PA, Nick, Sepherina's friend Alya, and the Rowani family. As the days turned into weeks, Sepherina and Rowan's relationship remained a complex web of secrets, emotions, and unspoken desires.
