Ruthless Prince

Claimed by the Billionaire:Bound by a Ruthless Bargain

Synopsis: "Marry me, or watch your world burn," Killian's voice was cold, carrying the weight of a threat that Elara couldn't escape. With her mother's health deteriorating, the mounting medical bills threatening to drown her family, and the expiration of their rent pushing them to the brink of eviction, Elara is left with no choice. The only option to save them is to marry Killian Hayes—the ruthless billionaire whose name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him. It’s a business deal, nothing more. Her world is about to be reduced to mere survival, and love isn't even a consideration. But as she steps into the cold, luxurious prison of Killian’s mansion, everything changes. Killian’s indifference towards her only strengthens her resolve. She's not a damsel to be saved, not a helpless woman waiting for a knight. Beneath her quiet exterior, Elara is a survivor, a force who will fight for her family’s future, even if it means sacrificing pieces of herself along the way. Yet, as the days pass, something unexpected begins to stir within her. Killian, the man who holds her life in his hands, is not the heartless monster she thought him to be. Beneath his cold demeanor lies a man burdened by his own demons, and Elara finds herself drawn to the vulnerability she hadn’t expected to see. Love is never part of the plan, but as she gets to know the real Killian, she begins to question everything. He may have manipulated her into this marriage, but what she didn’t anticipate was how deeply she could fall for a man whose heart seemed as cold as his empire. In a world where power is everything and love is a dangerous game, Elara must decide if she will let herself be consumed by the man who has the power to break her… or if she can change both their fates with the one thing he never saw coming: love. In a world built on control, sometimes love is the only thing worth fighting for.
