The Siren

The Siren Aria offered an unusual arrangement—a marriage of convenience. Her proposal was directed at none other than the Grand Duke of Valentine, a man who had already bargained away his soul to dark forces. This union wasn’t born of love but necessity, a shield for both of them. She sought safety from unseen threats, while he needed protection from the consequences of his own damned choices. Their fates intertwined out of desperation rather than desire. The contract bound them in ways neither could fully anticipate. For Aria, it was a means of survival in a treacherous world. For the Duke, it was a fleeting chance at redemption, or perhaps just another layer of damnation. Together, they would navigate a path fraught with danger and deceit. Their alliance was fragile, built on mutual need rather than trust. Yet, in the shadows of their agreement, something unexpected might emerge—something neither had planned for.
