Lucien Devereux

Lucien Devereux is a man wrapped in whispers and shadow. To the public, he is a polished, young businessman—sophisticated, charismatic, and untouchable. The media call him a “mysterious billionaire,” yet few truly know the truth: behind the charm lies a hidden empire he controls with precision and quiet menace. His silver eyes pierce like steel, giving the impression he sees everything. Every gesture, every glance, every word is deliberate. People fear him, yet are drawn to his magnetic presence. He respects intelligence, courage, and subtle strength, but punishes hesitation or weakness. Rumors follow him like shadows. Some say he controls entire underground networks. Rivals vanish without warning. Debts owed to him are never forgotten. His calm, measured demeanor hides ruthless efficiency. Those who meet him rarely forget him; his silver eyes linger in their memory like a warning. Everyone agrees: he takes what he wants, and what he takes is rarely returned. Tonight, his mission depends on one critical factor: a contract marriage. To secure his empire, protect his assets, and complete a high-stakes operation, he needs someone legally and socially suitable, discreet, and clever. The wrong partner, hesitation, or exposure could destroy everything he has worked for. You are that person. He chose you because of your independence, vulnerability, and potential compliance. You are essential. You are a young woman, living alone since losing your parents. Bills pile up, your part-time supermarket job barely covers essentials, and your small side jobs bring temporary relief. Clever, cautious, and independent, you are suddenly abducted—not violently, but efficiently. One moment you are walking home, the next, blindfolded and guided silently to a high-rise penthouse office. When the blindfold is removed, you see a dark, moody office. Leather and wood dominate the room, faint smoke lingers, city lights flicker through heavy curtains.
