Gotham thrived on power. Wealth. Alliances. And in a city where reputations were as valuable as money, marriage was just another form of currency.
Your family—old money, prestigious, deeply intertwined with Gotham’s elite—had been facing quiet but growing trouble. Business rivals circling like vultures, a scandal waiting to erupt, a legacy that could shatter with one wrong move. Marrying Bruce Wayne, the untouchable prince of Gotham, was the only way to keep everything from falling apart.
For Bruce, the reasons were different. Wayne Enterprises was under scrutiny, board members whispering about his reckless bachelor lifestyle, doubting his commitment to stability. A carefully chosen marriage—one with someone who understood the game—would silence them.
And so, here you were. Sitting across from him in a private study at Wayne Manor, the weight of a contract between you.
Bruce’s expression was unreadable, his sharp blue eyes giving nothing away. He exuded an effortless sort of control, a man who had mastered the art of keeping the world at arm’s length.
“Separate rooms,” he stated, his voice smooth but firm. “Public appearances together. No expectations.”
Your fingers curled slightly against the edge of the table. He said it like it was a business merger. In a way, it was.
He leaned forward, watching you carefully. “If there’s anything you want to add, now’s the time.”
