- CH: 1-

​On Fashion Night, Akihito met Ave Das, an Indian model. What Akihito didn't know was that Ave was the son of a billionaire, Mr. Arnav, who was a former business partner of Akihito's own father, Mr. Akio. To expand their business empires, the two men had made a deal: an arranged marriage between their sons.

​To Akihito, it was simply a business arrangement. He wasn't swayed by emotion, only by logic. Without a moment's hesitation, he agreed. With a calm and calculated mind, his eyes looked utterly dead, devoid of all emotion. He was tall, with a lean, muscular build, a handsome face, and a shock of black hair, though subtle dark circles lingered under his eyes.

In this world, it wasn't uncommon for business deals to be sealed with an arranged marriage, whether between a man and a woman or two men. For Ave, however, the news of his impending marriage was a shock. It had the potential to ruin his career, and he felt a knot of nervousness in his stomach. He was a man who had built his career on his own merit, a hardworking and sweet person who had never used his father's name.

​Concerned, he spoke with his agency, which quickly agreed to the deal. However, they insisted he keep the marriage private. They feared that if the news got out, his fans might get upset and it could threaten his other lucrative modeling contracts.

​With his light brown hair and warm brown eyes, Ave was a popular model, admired by women for his lean, toned body. But behind the scenes, he was just a regular guy who used his own money to donate to hospitals and orphanages. He was a kind person, and now he was caught in a business deal far beyond his control.

After the families and sons agreed to the marriage, they drafted a contract. Then they were asked if the two wanted to meet. With a calm and warm voice, Ave's mother, Miss Shivani, asked, "Ave, do you want to meet Akihito?"

​Ave looked at his mother and gave her a gentle smile. "Sorry, Maa, I have a very important deal to attend to, and I can't miss it. I hope you understand."

​Ave's mother was a doctor who was always busy with her hospital work, but she always made time for Ave.

​Ave's popularity had helped his agency secure a lot of deals with other companies.

​"Ave, can you put your hand on your face? It's going to look more sultry," the photographer instructed.

​"Like this?" Ave asked, holding the pose.

​"Perfect!" the photographer responded.
