For generations, the Lindström family was synonymous with prestige, elegance, and power. Their name opened doors, their parties gathered the country's most influential people, and their fortune seemed indestructible.
Until one wrong decision changed everything.
Victims of a massive scam, the Lindströms lost millions and with them, everything they had built over the years. The family pride turned to desperation, and the daughter who was once treated as a high-society jewel became the solution to their problems.
A marriage.
An agreement.
A negotiation.
To save what little remained of their name, her parents decided to join her with Dylan Wahlberg, a 25-year-old businessman belonging to one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the country. He also needed a wife to meet certain expectations and protect his image, so the deal seemed perfect.
Except to her.
Because she never agreed to be a bargaining chip.
Forced to marry a man she barely knew, she decided to turn that marriage into her own revenge. If her family had sold her to regain their status, then she would make everyone regret having made that decision.
Her goal was simple: destroy the marriage, tarnish the Wahlberg name, and prove that they could not control her life.
But living with Dylan was not part of the plan.
Because behind his coldness was a man with his own wounds, secrets, and reasons for accepting that agreement. And the more Astrid tried to ruin that union, the harder it became to distinguish between hatred, pride… and feelings that neither of them was willing to admit.
In a marriage born of convenience, there was only one question:
Who would betray the other's heart first?
