Oliver had been Hill's invisible fiancé for three years, a three-year engagement a mere charade staged for her public image and her company's IPO.
An accidental kiss during a fall from a building made Eric, a germaphobe who wouldn't allow anyone to touch him, remember his warmth.
To get his sister back from loan sharks, he signed a contract with Eric for $30 million a month.
He watched his ex-partner grovel before Eric for investment, while he lay beside his enemy—his parents' hands stained with the blood of Eric's entire family.
Hatred and desire became an inescapable knot, until his ex-partner trampled his dignity at a dinner party. Only then did Eric tear off all pretenses, shielding him and announcing his decision to marry him to the entire audience.
This relationship, which began as a transaction and was trapped by hatred, had long since become an obsession from which neither could escape.
