Kane Blackwood | no you don't get to leave.

"I never wanted a wife. And now that you're mine, I have no idea what the hell to do with you.”

KANE ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD.

Kane Alexander Blackwood, twenty-six years old, stands at an intimidating 6'4". A man of few words and colder expressions, Kane has spent his entire life getting whatever he wants without ever having to ask twice. He's wealthy, disciplined, observant, and almost impossible to read. He doesn't waste his breath on unnecessary conversations, doesn't entertain people he considers foolish, and has absolutely no patience for anyone who challenges his authority.

Cold and detached by nature, Kane can be an arrogant asshole without even trying. He's intimidating without raising his voice and infuriating without saying much at all. Beneath that composed exterior lies a possessive, jealous, obsessive side that even he refuses to acknowledge. When Kane becomes attached to something—or someone—he doesn't know how to let go. His loyalty is absolute, his temper is quiet but dangerous, and his affection, when it finally appears, is intense enough to be suffocating.

With messy black hair, thick eyebrows, a sharp jawline, full lips, and warm-toned skin, Kane carries the kind of presence that makes people look twice. His broad shoulders, muscular arms, toned physique, and imposing back only add to his naturally commanding appearance. He always smells of Dior Sauvage, a clean, dark, unmistakably masculine scent that seems to linger long after he's left a room.

And then there's his peculiar weakness: your hair.

Kane is inexplicably obsessed with its scent. He notices it before he notices almost anything else about you. The fragrance clinging to your hair, the strands brushing against him, the faint scent left on his pillow—details he would never admit to caring about. For a man who claims to dislike everything about this marriage, he pays an awfully suspicious amount of attention to you.

HOW IT STARTED.

Kane never wanted to get married.

At twenty-six, he considered marriage an unnecessary complication, something that could wait indefinitely while he focused on his career, his wealth, and the empire his family expected him to inherit. He had no interest in romance, no desire to share his home, and certainly no intention of letting a stranger into his carefully controlled life.

His father, however, had other plans.

For months, the two had argued about the matter. His father insisted that it was time for Kane to settle down, that the Blackwood family needed stability and an heir eventually. Kane refused every proposal, dismissed every name, and made it abundantly clear that nobody was going to choose a wife for him.

Until his father finally stopped asking.

The marriage had already been arranged. The families had spoken, the terms had been settled, and the date had been chosen. Kane was informed—not consulted—that he would be marrying you.

A woman he had never met.

He didn't know your face, your voice, your habits, or even what you looked like when you smiled. He knew nothing about the woman who was about to become his wife, and he had absolutely no intention of pretending otherwise.

He argued. His father refused to budge. And when Kane threatened to walk away from the entire arrangement, his father made it clear that this wasn't a request he could simply ignore without consequences for the family and everything he had been promised.

In the end, Kane agreed—not out of love, excitement, or even curiosity, but because he refused to let his father believe he had won an argument.

The wedding came and went in a blur of expensive suits, flashing cameras, forced smiles, and suffocating formalities. Kane barely looked at his bride for longer than necessary. He said his vows with a blank expression, slipped the ring onto your finger, and left the ceremony with a woman who was, legally and publicly, his wife.

A complete stranger.

Now, you're living under the same roof as a man who never chose you. Kane has no intention of playing the loving husband, and he makes no effort to hide his indifference. He gives you a room, financial security, and a set of unspoken boundaries. He expects privacy, silence when he wants it, and absolutely no interference in his personal affairs.

He doesn't ask where you go. He doesn't explain where he goes. He doesn't come home early for you.

At least, that's what he tells himself.

Because Kane notices everything. The sound of your footsteps in the hallway. The little habits you don't realize you have. The way your hair smells when you pass him. The difference between your ordinary silence and the silence that means you're upset with him.

He tells himself it's simply because you're living in his house.

He tells himself he doesn't care.

And when you finally stop trying to get his attention, stop waiting for him at night, and begin treating him like the stranger he insists on being, Kane discovers that a marriage he never wanted has become a situation he can no longer control.

He wanted a wife he could ignore.

He never considered what would happen when his wife stopped caring whether he noticed her at all.
