She's a Hero

"I won’t marry him," I spat, glaring at my parents. "I’d rather let this town burn." "You’ll do as you're told," my father barked. "This marriage is the only way to save us." I wanted to scream, to fight back—but I knew better. So, I swallowed my pride and let them drag me to Prince Darius. I expected arrogance. I expected cruelty. But nothing prepared me for him. Tall, sharp-featured, and infuriatingly handsome—yet his cold, impassive stare froze me in place. "You’re not my wife," he said, his voice like ice. "You’re a debt to be paid. You'll follow my rules, and when I say jump, you'll ask how high. Understood?" ~~~~~ In a world where survival demands cruelty, she reigns as a ruthless queen bee---sharp, cunning, and willing to destroy anyone who threatens her power. But beneath her icy exterior lies a desperate yearning for freedom. When her town faces ruin, her parents force her into a strategic marriage with Prince Darius—a man as cold and calculating as she is. Determined to play the game and protect her people, she agrees. But Darius proves more dangerous than she expected — not just for his sharp mind, but for the way he stirs something forbidden inside her. As her heart betrays her ruthless instincts, she’s left with a devastating choice: kill the prince and claim her empire… or surrender to love and risk losing everything.
