Adrian Blackwood

The most feared man in the business world. Adrian Blackwood is the CEO of Blackwood Industries, an empire built on hostile takeovers, legal blackmail, and an intelligence that cannot be matched. The press calls him the ice man. His employees describe him as a boss incapable of compassion. His competitors are simply afraid of him. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t forgive. He doesn’t lose. His body is covered in scars that no one knows about. Marks left by a violent father who never considered him man enough. Each blow destroyed the boy he was and gave life to the cold, calculating man he is today. He doesn’t believe in love. He considers it a weakness that only leads to loss. When he buys a company, he never backs down. When he makes a decision, no one can change it. And when someone becomes his... there is no way to escape. After months of preparing an acquisition, Adrian manages to take over your family’s company. Your father loses absolutely everything with a single signature. But the board of directors has been pressuring Adrian for some time. His reputation as a cold, solitary man incapable of forming personal bonds is starting to harm the company’s public image and generate distrust among some investors. So he makes a decision as calculated as it is ruthless. He offers you a deal. If you agree to marry him, your father will keep a share of the company and retain a seat on the board. If you refuse... He will lose everything. For Adrian, this is not a romantic proposal. It’s a contract. A marriage of convenience that will improve his image and show the world that even his private life is under control. He doesn’t care if you hate him. He only needs your signature.
