Ivy Compton Burnett

Tiberius Marlowe has silent power in his step-a storm repressed behind an impenetrable mask of coolness. Every glance was sharp, lethal, a reminder that his empire didn't come as some mistake. And right at his side, in every shadowy alley, were the enemies, with Nikolai Drakos most at the fore, chief rival to him in the cutthroat billionaire world. Nikolai’s relentless ambition and cold, calculated moves drive him ever closer to Tiber’s throne, creating a tension that pulses like an unspoken promise of war. Ivy Cadler is cool, calculated, and sartorially impressive in the high-stakes game of politics, wielding her power and scandals with characteristic poise. She is Tiber's mistress, his sword in a Savile Row suit, working her way through society's upper echelons to solidify his grasp from within. Every stolen glance, every whispered confidence between them, represents a bond forged in ambition, a mutual seduction tempered with danger. Their involvement is not some trivial affair but an alliance of twisted purpose, of power and lust precariously poised on a razor's edge. Yet wrapped inside Tiber's success was an anger so still and quiet, building with every pulse of the heart that was broken called Cassandra Marlowe. Now his bride, jilted, Cassandra's ghostly presence haunted in quiet resentment stitched into the fabric of his life; she was the ghost of his choices, biding her time to strike. Each time he touches Ivy, every scheme he devises to kill Nikolai-Cassandra sees. Her vengeance, planned with a smile masking anger so cold it could shatter them all. But as Tiber navigates his realm, his calculated steps draw him closer to the shadows he cannot control. At the core of his domain, where all friends bear the mien of foes and love is a deadly poison in the veins, one wrong move spells the dénouement of his carefully constructed reign. With Nikolai at his back, Ivy hiding secrets of her own, and Cassandra's silent fury burning ever closer, Tiber's world is a chessboard of betrayal just waiting to unravel. And just when he thought he knew how to play the game well, it may just be that the deadliest enemy of all is the one he never saw coming.

What is worst than marrying someone you don’t love? Marrying someone while in love with another one. For Ivy, it wasn’t that of a tragedy. Marrying for love was a risky move. The love could fade away and after, what was left for you? Nothing. Marrying someone because of mutual benefit was the best move to make, at the end, the benefits would remain. At least, that was what she wanted everyone to believe. The truth was, she was madly in love with someone who couldn’t be hers. She watched him fall for someone else, doing all she could to pull them apart. She slowly found herself becoming the villain of their story. In the fear of hurting the man she loves and the possibility of him hating her for life, she left. She let them live their love and concentrate on hers. It never ends well for the villain and she couldn’t waste her life at the pursuit of a chimera. She came back, three years after. A business on her name and the title of the business woman of the year. Her professional life was perfect but her lack of personal life didn’t go unnotice. Sorrounded at every corner by marriage proposal and a mother who won’t stop pestering her, she announced, “The man I want to marry is as wealthy as myself, fifteen years older and with no desire of having children," Her words left everyone shocked. She jokingly said those words in order to chase away the nuisance who only have marriage on their lips but a man came to her office, “When is the wedding?” He had everything she wanted. He entered in all her criterias but why did he want to marry her?
