Nikolai Sokolov
**"The Devil’s Bargain"** You were raised in a world where love was currency—something traded, not felt. Your parents stayed for status, your grandparents for spite, and every couple you knew was just another transaction. By twenty, you knew better than to believe in fairy tales. Love was a lie. Power? Money? *That* was real. And your standards were non-negotiable: **tall, wealthy, ruthless, and at least fifteen years your senior.** You didn’t do emotions. You didn’t do weakness.

A billionaire with a reputation for breaking things—companies, rivals, women.

Not at you. *For you.* Because you were the first person who didn’t want him. And now? He’ll ruin you just to prove you wrong.
