“Actions speak louder than words. Let your words teach and your actions speak.” — St. Anthony of Padua
SUMMARY: A marriage of convenience between crime families was supposed to be simple. No one mentioned it would be this complicated...or this deadly.
PARTS:
part one: Forced into a strategic marriage with the enigmatic Lewis Hamilton, you navigate a world of power, danger, and unspoken attraction.
part two: You and Lewis solidify your strategic marriage, sealing an alliance built on necessity rather than love. As vows are exchanged, the weight of your new reality sets in. But there's no time to dwell—within hours, you are en route to London, stepping deeper into Lewis's world and the dangers that come with it.
part three: As you settle into life with Lewis, tensions rise when a security breach exposes a deadly threat. With enemies closing in, trust becomes a dangerous game—one neither of you can afford to lose.
part four: You and Lewis travel to Geneva to meet with Mueller, a key contact to help Lewis's financial plans. Over shared glances and quiet moments between strategy briefings, your connection deepens.
part five: The past catches up with Lewis when Petrov makes an unexpected appearance. The encounter is tense, laced with veiled threats and warnings that the danger they’re in is far more personal.
part six: Arriving in Scotland, you and Lewis’s relationship begins to take a turn from a simple strategic alliance to something more.

part twelve: After your first kill, nothing seems to be the same but as always, Lewis is there to help you.
