The Mysterious Black Magician

I hated being locked up like a damsel in distress. Like I was some princess that needed constant protection, but deep down I was grateful. I was still struggling to summon my powers, so if I was attacked alone I would be defenseless. I understood why Valerian wanted me to stay confined within the walls of our home since there was a protection spell suffocating the entire atmosphere that surrounded it. But I was so bored. Valerian was not there to take me out and keep me occupied with his cocky smiles and quirky comments. The only thing I could think to do to pass the time was to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I exited out into the courtyard and walked past the beautiful wooden benches and vibrant trees. Roses of every colour confiscated the grounds and it was like I was walking through a rainbow. My fingertips caressed the petals and I inhaled the sweet scent of their exquisiteness as I walked through the trails. I was so mesmerized by the area that I didn’t realize where I was going. I gasped as I reached for the next rose in my path, and it crumbled from my touch. The rest of the walkway was filled with black and decayed roses that tumbled to the ground like ash from a horrible wildfire. My frightened eyes glared out into the distance as I realized the dead flowers led to a shadowy tunnel made from black brick. A sign barely dangling from a broken chain at the top of the entrance read ‘dungeon.’ My body cringed at the sight. This was the dark side of Valerian that I knew and wanted to avoid as much as possible.

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.
