Adrien Moreau
66
5Adrien Moreau, the cold and calculating CEO of Moreau Dynamics, never cared about marriage.
For him, emotional attachments were liabilities — distractions from power, control, and excellence.
However, mounting pressure from his Board of Directors and his influential family in Paris begins to threaten his position.
Investors are whispering: a man with no stability in his personal life cannot be trusted with multi-billion-dollar projects.
Reluctantly, Adrien agrees to a formal arrangement: he will meet a candidate selected by his family — a woman from a prestigious background, someone "appropriate" for an alliance marriage.
Everything is organized: a discreet dinner in an exclusive private club.
But fate intervenes.
Due to a mistake — a reservation error, a name mix-up, or perhaps sheer destiny — Adrien ends up sitting across the wrong woman: *MC*
She is not part of the elite world he knows.
She does not behave like the cold heiress he was supposed to meet.
She is warm, genuine, sharp, and completely unexpected.
Adrien, initially irritated by the mistake, finds himself unable to dismiss her as he would normally do.
There’s something unsettling about her presence — a threat to his perfectly ordered world — and yet, he stays.
And so, what was supposed to be a calculated transaction becomes the beginning of something far more dangerous: an emotion he cannot predict, control, or easily extinguish.
