Max, a 27-year-old wealthy young man gifted with artistic talent since childhood, lost his sight in an accident one year ago, yet never abandoned his passion for painting, continuing to create from memory and feeling. His family forced him into marriage, and Sarah, a kind and innocent 19-year-old girl, became his wife. She tried to adapt to him and care for him despite their differences in personality. After a year of marriage, Max underwent surgery that restored his sight, but he hid it from everyone in order to silently observe Sarah. He wanted to know the truth: Was she loyal? Did she care for him out of genuine affection, or only out of duty? That day, he sat in the art room, watching her every move, savoring the tension and mystery surrounding their relationship. Sarah opened the door after returning from university and walked inside quietly. She passed by him with her usual soft smile, then stepped closer to look at the painting. Without meaning to, her hand brushed the edge of the still-wet paint, causing part of the artwork to smudge and a whole section of the background to blur. She froze for a moment, terrified, then gently set the canvas back in its place as if nothing had happened—she didn’t want to bother him. Max saw everything… and all he said to himself was, “She ruined my painting… and she didn’t say a word.”

Max was known across the lands as the Tyrant Emperor, a man who had never approached a woman nor allowed emotions to touch his life. At twenty-seven, he spent his years expanding his empire and working to unite the entire continent under his rule. His only concern was building a strong bloodline to continue his legacy, yet he had never found a woman worthy of becoming his wife or the mother of his heir. His presence alone—calm, cold, and commanding—made nations fear him without a single swing of his blade. Sarah, on the other hand, was the princess of the Leopard Kingdom; gentle in heart yet strong in spirit, with rare beauty carried in her mismatched eyes—one blue and one green—and her golden hair that shone like sunlight. Her royal bloodline possessed unique magic, and she herself could wield all elemental powers. Skilled with a sword and raised near the forest, she found comfort among the trees, where even wild animals were drawn to her calm nature as if she belonged among them. Everything began when Max decided to annex the Leopard Kingdom. He told his captain that he would offer them only two choices: surrender or war, fully aware that war would not be in their favor. While his army set up camp in the forest near the kingdom’s border, Sarah was there training with her sword, unaware of their presence. As Max walked through the trees with his captain, his sharp hearing caught the sound of a blade cutting through the air.

everything from others. He had a five-year-old son, extremely sensitive, who rejected every nanny no matter how kind or patient. The boy was attached only to his late mother, and anyone who tried to get close to him was quickly dismissed. Marx was looking for someone his son could trust and care for sincerely, and he had found no one suitable—except for an honest and caring young woman. Sarah, a 21-year-old orphan, was strong and independent despite her young age. She had grown up alone after losing her parents and was searching for a job after graduating from culinary school, but she hadn’t found a suitable opportunity. She was kind-hearted, playful, and bold, enjoying interacting with children no matter how difficult they were. These qualities made the boy accept her from the very first moment, and she became part of his daily life, which led Marx to decide to marry her for his son’s comfort. After the wedding, Marx remained cold and distant, acting as if Sarah’s presence was merely a duty to care for his child, while Sarah devoted herself to the boy with love and affection. The child grew happy with her, playing, eating, and smiling at her. Marx watched from afar, occasionally feeling unexpected warmth in his heart, but he never showed it, keeping his usual coldness, acknowledging only to himself that Sarah’s presence made his son happy—and that was all that mattered.

Max, a 28-year-old CEO, was a man of ice and power. He owned palaces, jets, and rare cars, yet his heart was broken since his wife’s death. He had twin boys, five years old, whom he loved more than life itself. But they never spoke, never smiled, and rejected every nanny who tried to care for them. More than ninety-nine nannies had quit because of them. All Max wanted was to hear his sons laugh again. Sarah, a 21-year-old orphan, graduated from a culinary school but couldn’t find work despite her talent. One afternoon, while eating ice cream at a small café, she felt two small hands tugging at her dress. She looked down to see twin boys with gentle faces and sad eyes pointing shyly at her dessert, as if they knew her. Realizing they were lost, Sarah bought them two bowls of ice cream and watched them eat with pure joy. Meanwhile, Max was frantically searching after his secretary, Alexander, reported that the twins had escaped. Using their tracking devices, he found them—smiling for the first time in years, sitting beside a young woman. At that moment, he made an unexpected decision: she would become part of their lives A few days later, Max married her without telling her the truth, pretending to be a simple working man. They lived in a small, quiet house away from the city. Every morning, he left, saying he was going to his “ordinary job.” Sarah never doubted him; she only saw a calm, mysterious man and cared for his twins as if they were her own.

Max, a successful businessman of twenty-eight years old, ran a huge video production company. Yet, he was as cold as ice. His words were few, his eyes frozen, never showing weakness or emotion. He was used to controlling everything, never allowing life to impose anything on him. Sarah, a twenty-year-old orphan girl, was breathtakingly beautiful, with soft blond hair and gray eyes that seemed to hold a hidden secret. Despite her beauty, she was poor and simple. She loved reading, playing music, and embroidery, finding in her handicrafts a small solace that eased the weight of loneliness. Marriage to Max was never her choice, but a fate forced upon her. Sarah moved into Max’s grand mansion, yet she never felt it was her home. They were married only in name; each had their own room, and he never approached her, so she remained a virgin despite the marriage. Life between them was silent, cold, and filled with invisible distances that neither of them crossed. On a rainy evening, Sarah was in the kitchen, slowly preparing dinner, the smell of hot soup filling the air.

Max, a powerful CEO and one of the wealthiest men in the world, a billionaire at twenty-eight, lived a life of strict discipline and cold detachment. His world had no room for affection or compromise. Cold as ice, quick to anger, he could not bear being forced into anything. To him, anyone who dared break his rules deserved his hatred, and his marriage was nothing but a forced deal that only deepened his disdain and rejection of those around him. As for Sarah, she was a twenty-year-old orphan, beautiful with her golden hair and gray eyes that drew every gaze. Despite her loneliness, she carried a heart that quietly longed to become a mother’s heart one day. Gentle and calm, she never raised her voice nor indulged in defiance, but she was not weak—her silent resolve allowed her to stand tall despite the pain. The story began with a medical mistake that changed their lives forever, when Sarah was accidentally inseminated with Max’s sperm. Once his mother learned of it, she forced her son into marrying Sarah, believing that scandal was unfit for their family name. Max never forgave the mistake and saw Sarah as a burden forced upon him. Three months into their marriage, Sarah lost the child due to her fragile health, which only fueled Max’s anger and deepened his hatred for her.

Max, thirty years old, is the CEO of one of the world’s largest companies. A cold man who cares for nothing but his five-year-old son, Leo. Despite his immense wealth and status as one of the most powerful businessmen alive, he remains distant and shows no emotions to anyone. Leo is his greatest secret—a child born out of wedlock who suddenly entered his life. Max doesn’t know who the boy’s mother is, yet Leo’s existence changed his world completely, making him guard the child with an icy, merciless heart toward everyone else. Sarah, twenty-one years old, is a poor young woman living in a small, old house made up of just one room, a living area, and a tiny kitchen. She has lost much in her life—including the baby that was stolen from her days after birth, a wound she still carries. Despite her pain, she is brave and hardworking, making a living cleaning tables and serving customers in a small café. Unaware of the truth, her life is about to turn upside down when fate places a strange boy in her path—one closer to her than she could ever imagine. The story begins when Sarah meets Leo at the café where she works. The mysterious child with sad eyes sat beside his father, Max, who was discussing business with his partners. Leo didn’t speak; instead, he wrote in a small notebook to express himself. Somehow, he was instantly drawn to Sarah in a way no one expected. While she was cleaning and serving, someone locked her inside the storage room. The boy was with her, and despite his young age and trauma that kept him from speaking, he helped her climb out of the window and wrote desperate words asking for help until his father rescued them. From that moment on, an unseen thread began to tie Sarah’s heart to the child—without her knowing he was the son she had lost. Sarah was quickly wiping tables as the café grew crowded, her eyes drifting toward the quiet boy who never let go of his notebook. She smiled kindly at him despite his coldness,

In the family’s grand mansion lived ten brothers, all in their twenties, strong men bearing the family’s noble features. The eldest was Nader, 29 years old, followed by Al-Zain, 28, then Eyad, 27, Noah, 26, Ishaq, 25, and Waleed, 24. The twins were the most striking: Adam and Adham, 23, identical as if one was a copy of the other, and finally Rayan and Laith, 21, nearly impossible to tell apart. Despite their different ages and temperaments, they all shared the same view of Sarah: disgust and rejection, as if she were an intruder in their world. Sarah was an eighteen-year-old girl, beautiful with delicate features, her hair golden blond and her eyes shining green, yet behind her beauty lay a strong and resilient character. Since childhood, she had loved martial arts, read books passionately, and always sought to improve herself—completely different from the image the brothers had of her. She grew up in a simple family without a father, while her mother was her sole support, giving her a monthly allowance on her bank card, never less than $5,000 and sometimes reaching $15,000. It wasn’t out of greed, but because her mother truly loved her and wanted to ensure she lived a dignified life. Just a month after her mother married a wealthy and influential man, the couple left on a honeymoon trip, and her mother insisted that Sarah live with her new stepbrothers. Sarah had no intention of causing trouble; she only wanted to adapt to a new home, especially after her stepfather gave her the key to the luxurious villa and sent her the address in a short message. But she had no idea that entering that house would change her life forever. When Sarah stepped into the villa for the first time, the place seemed empty and silent, as if no one lived there. Suddenly, she felt footsteps approaching from behind, and before she could turn, a cold knife pressed against her neck as a harsh voice demanded,

Max was the empire’s crown prince, a 27-year-old known for his cold presence and emotionless demeanor. His blue hair and golden eyes gave him a regal aura, and many believed he was born to rule. When he needed to hide his identity, he used a magical artifact that changed his appearance, making him look like a regular noble. Sarah, 24, was born into a ducal family and once lived as a proud, disliked noble in a Victorian-era past. She had married Max, but rebellion and illness ended in her tragic death. In her second life, she was a modern orphan who became a brilliant surgeon—until her death in a plane crash sent her back to her first body, just before her engagement to Max. Determined to change her fate, she begged the emperor to cancel the engagement. He refused gently, so she proposed a deal: if she became a licensed doctor, the engagement would be void. He agreed. She took the name “Rose,” hid her identity, and began working at a hospital owned by her family but open to commoners. One day, a man with sapphire eyes and blue hair rushed in, carrying a dying person. “Help him!” he cried. Sarah stepped forward, unaware it was Max in disguise. He warned her coldly: “If he dies, your life is the price.” Without a word, she took the patient and entered the operating room… as Max watched her silently, knowing exactly who she was.

Max Black, the 29-year-old CEO, is a man who keeps women at a distance and never lets emotions cloud his judgment. Cold-hearted and ruthless, all that matters to him is work and control. Born into a family that had everything but affection, he became a rigid, flawless figure—hesitant of nothing, unbreakable. His mother and grandmother constantly pressure him to marry, but to him, love is nonsense, and marriage is a chain he doesn’t need. --- Sarah, a 22-year-old orphan with blonde hair and green eyes, is kind-hearted despite life's harshness. She works nights in a nightclub and takes on different jobs during the day just to afford her grandmother's cancer treatment. She was never weak, but she learned how to hide her pain with dignity. Pure and untouched, no man had ever laid a hand on her. Even in desperation, she never thought of selling herself—instead, she chose to struggle in silence and with honor. Story: On a night filled with music and dancing lights, Sarah moved swiftly between the tables of the wealthy guests inside the nightclub, carrying a tray of drinks with a calm face that masked her exhaustion. She had no idea that one of the orders would lead her to the VIP lounge, where Max Black sat—a man unlike any of the other patrons, not in his stare, nor in his silence. She placed the glass in front of him without raising her head, but something felt off. It later turned out that Max’s father’s assistant—who was also Max’s close friend—had slipped a drug into Max’s drink on direct orders from his father. But the drink never made it to Max… something completely unexpected happened. When everything was over, Sarah had no explanation for what had occurred, and no proof of her innocence… just a tear stuck in her eye, and Max’s expressionless gaze. As she left, Max coldly tossed a small black card toward her and said: “One million dollars… in exchange for never seeing you again."

In a world dominated by fear, power, and blood, the name "Max Alistair" is never mentioned without silence. Max, 29, is not just a mafia boss... he is the man feared by gangs around the world. The ruler of shadows, the master of dirty deals, his cold eyes merciless, and his silence enough to freeze the blood in his veins. He is a man who has never been in a relationship, not because he couldn't, but because he simply didn't need anyone.
