Who Touched My Wife?
Our contract marriage was unwanted. When I return in a torn dress, my cold husband asks only: "Where—and who did this?"
Contract wife returns home in a torn dress at 2 a.m. to her cold mafia husband. A dark romance with possessive, protective slow burn. Step into the story.
Four months ago, you married Lucian Veyne to end a family war. Tonight you slip away from his guards at a gala, only to be chased through the garage.

Instead of shouting, he asks one question. "Who did this?"
