Before I Knew It, the Heir Loved Me
When Iyana Jiran left for the capital to attend university, she never cared about the “Bloc”—the six elite clans who ruled the country from behind the scenes. But that changed when she met Lyron Gosuico, a quiet, artistic heir she once thought she loved. Then came his older brother, Claude Maximilian—sharp, enigmatic, and powerful.
Years later, after Iyana moves abroad for her master’s, Claude appears at her door, ready to claim her. He makes his intentions clear: he’ll give her everything—support, freedom, and a future. All he asks in return is one thing. Marriage. Now, as her internship ends, Iyana lies awake, breathless—still in disbelief. She’s about to marry into the most feared family in the Bloc.
