Despite their differences, their chemistry is undeniable and their relationship evolves from animosity to intense passion. However family politics and hidden agendas threaten to tear them apart as they navigate love, ambition and betrayal
The Dinner Proposal.
Lila reluctantly walks into an opulent restaurant, casually dressed in a long blue pants and a low neck chiffon top slightly revealing her cleavage. She elegantly walks towards where Richard was seated waiting for her. 'Hi, I'm Lila Monroe and I'm sure you're Richard Hensley ' She said with an uninterested face. 'My father has said quite a lot about you ' Richard responded
'I see our fathers are now the decision makers ' Lila said while adjusting her top from revealing too much of her cleavage.
Contrasting sharply with the formal atmosphere and Richard's polished demeanor, the conversation was tense.
'So let's get to it.' Lila said this openly defiant making it clear she didn't want to be there because the dinner was arranged by their parents.
Richard on the other hand was polite but cold. 'We are only here because we are on the terms of having to be married'
'You don't have to like me but this marriage can benefit us both'
Lila counters with sarcasm refusing to be sold off like a commodity.
Lila stands to leave but Richard stops her with a sharp comment 'Walking away doesn't solve anything, you want freedom? So do I .. Well maybe this is the price for it'.
The words unsettle her planting the seeds of curiosity about his true motives.
Lila reluctantly agrees, on the condition that she would maintain her art career and independence.
Richard on the other hand sees her as a potential but is drawn to her fiery spirit despite himself.
'Yes you would ' he agreed to her condition.
The Wedding
Their wedding day was a really expensive one- an expensive charade of happiness.
Lila feels suffocated in her designer wedding gown while Richard hides his uneasy expression behind a calm facade.
As they were about leaving the reception, Lila whispers bitterly ' Congratulations Richard. You bought yourself a wife, I hope the investment pays off!'
Richard refused to respond but watched her walk out of the reception with a pang of regrets all over his face

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
