Under His Command

The life of 19-year-old Azalea Graham, known affectionately as Aza, had always been quiet and unassuming. Shy, innocent, and filled with dreams of a future built on love and mutual respect, she never imagined her life would take such a drastic turn. But fate had other plans. When her family’s financial struggles reached a breaking point, her parents made a decision that would change her life forever-an arranged marriage to Aidan Wiston, the world’s most powerful, cold, and heartless billionaire.

Aza’s dreams shattered in an instant. She had always envisioned a life where she would marry someone who adored her, someone who would cherish her and make her feel like the most loved woman in the world. She imagined a wedding filled with joy, a union that others would envy. But instead, she found herself trapped in a gilded cage, bound to a man who was as distant as he was intimidating. The only thing she felt was pain-a deep, unrelenting ache that seemed to grow with each passing day.

Aidan Wiston was a man of few words and even fewer emotions. His reputation preceded him-ruthless in business, unyielding in his demands, and utterly devoid of warmth. To him, marriage was nothing more than a transaction, a means to an end. He had no interest in love or companionship, and Aza was merely a pawn in a game she didn’t even know she was playing.

As the days turned into weeks, Aza struggled to adapt to her new life. The opulence of Aidan’s world was overwhelming, a stark contrast to the simplicity she had always known. But beneath the surface of luxury lay a cold, unfeeling void. Aidan’s indifference cut deeper than any words could, leaving her feeling more isolated than ever. Yet, for the sake of her family, she endured. She swallowed her tears, buried her dreams, and tried to convince herself that this was the sacrifice she had to make.
