City. An oasis in the middle of a vast wasteland. Luxury, intelligence and high technology. Blood, poverty and vice. Can you be yourself, detective?

Synopsis: In a marriage of cold convenience, Adrian Cole weds Selene Harlow, the beautiful and distant heiress to the powerful Harlow fortune. To the elite world of politicians and tycoons, Adrian is nothing but a "useless nobody," a penniless man tolerated only as a laughingstock and a pawn. Forced into the union by her family, Selene treats him with glacial contempt, echoing the open disdain of her iron-willed mother, Eleanor, and her dismissive father, Victor. Publicly humiliated and relegated to the shadows of the Harlow Corporation, Adrian endures the constant mockery, especially from Julian Black, a rival executive with a predatory interest in Selene and the company. Adrian bears it all with quiet restraint, his true nature hidden behind a mask of meekness. But beneath the surface, he is far more than he appears. Secretly, he commands a hidden power and respect, with loyal operatives referring to him as "Young Master" and awaiting his orders. The fragile peace shatters when subtle threats escalate into open warfare: a shattered heirloom, a violent ambush in an alley, and a near-fatal "accident" on the road. With each attack that Adrian effortlessly deflects, Selene's icy skepticism begins to thaw into burning curiosity. Who is this man she married? His calm authority in the face of danger and his quiet acts of protection clash with the image of the helpless man everyone scorns. As Julian Black's schemes grow more dangerous and desperate, Adrian is forced to let his carefully constructed facade begin to crack. The forgotten son-in-law can no longer remain in the shadows. He must choose between his vow to conceal his powerful past and the need to protect the wife who is slowly starting to see the formidable man hidden behind the ridicule.

（Sequel of Pregnant and rejected by my alpha mate. Can be read alone. ）Today I had my first kiss. It wasn’t planned. It was also with a complete stranger. As I walked through the halls of my school, Higala Shifter Academy, I paused when a familiar sense washed over me. My boyfriend, Scott, was nearby, and he wasn’t alone. “You are so naughty, Scott,” the she-wolf Sarah chuckled. “Only for you, babe,” he replied, muffled as her lips closed around his. At that moment, I felt sick to my stomach. “Oh, Scott. Stop it. You know we can’t be seen together. What if your girlfriend finds us?” “She’s in class. She’s never late. You don’t need to worry.” My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment crossed me.“Lila?” Scott breathed, staring at me in shock “What are you—” Before he could get the entire question out, I turned to the gentleman beside me, placing my hands on his shoulders and pulling him toward me. He went easily, though his eyes showed nothing but confusion. I closed my eyes tightly so I wouldn’t have to see his expression any longer. Then, our lips touched. Later, I walked into my class but found,It was him… The man I kissed only moments ago in the hallway. The man I had given my first kiss to, was my professor.
