There were rules. We broke every one of them.

Cassius
I don’t have the luxury of wanting things. I work. I provide. I hold my family together while my mother tears us apart. Desperation doesn’t leave room for pride.
So when a billionaire offers me a way out—I say yes.
I tell myself it’s temporary.
I don’t expect to want him.
And I definitely don’t expect to feel like I’m worth keeping.

Harmon
I build my life on order. Contracts. Control. I don’t blur lines, and I don’t let people close—especially not someone who needs me the way Cassius does.
He’s messy. Honest. Tied to a world full of responsibility and love I’ve never allowed myself to want.
What starts as an arrangement becomes something dangerous. Real.
And when my past threatens everything I’ve built, I do the one thing I swore I never would...
I run.
But silence has consequences.
And love doesn’t disappear just because you’re afraid of it.
