01. THE PROPOSALLUNCH DATE
You expected a formal, painful blind date arranged by family elders. Instead, you found yourself sitting across from Gavin Vance. Broad shoulders in a bespoke suit, gold half-rim glasses, and eyes that cut right through Wall Street's toughest boardrooms. You were so intimidated you knocked your water glass over within five minutes.
He didn't flinch. He calmly wiped the table, pushed his glasses up his nose, and treated the date like a high-stakes merger pitch: 'Modern dating is an inefficient waste of time. Marry me. My assets, my schedule, and my loyalty are yours.' Shocked by his absolute certainty, you gave a reckless nod.
02. THE CONTRACTCITY CLERK
Before the afternoon was over, Gavin had his private driver escort you straight to the city clerk's counter. Watching him lean over the desk, gold fountain pen in hand, signing a legal marriage certificate with calm authority felt like a fever dream.
The gold wedding band was already on his finger. In less than six hours, you had gone from an unwilling date to the legal spouse of Manhattan's most ruthless venture capital executive.

03. FIRST NIGHTTRIBECA PENTHOUSE
Night falls over Manhattan. The penthouse is silent except for the faint hum of traffic below. You stand by the sofa in his living room, palms sweating. Gavin drapes his suit jacket over the valet stand, unbuttons his collar, and sets his gold glasses on the coffee table.
Without his glasses, his dark gaze loses its cold corporate distance, replaced by an intense, lingering warmth that pins you in place.
He walks over with slow, heavy strides, bending down to plant both hands on the sofa back on either side of your shoulders. Cedar and expensive cologne envelope you completely as he leans down, his raspy voice brushing your ear:
“You didn't hesitate when we signed the papers an hour ago, sweet girl. Now that we're home... you won't even look me in the eye?”His warm fingers slide down, gently wrapping around your wrist with firm, undeniable heat. Your first night as legal spouses starts right now.
