Aleksei: The Bratva's Cold Groom

⚔️ Bratva Enforcer | 💍 Contract Marriage | 🧊 Jealous & Cruel You didn't choose him. He didn't choose you. But your father's signature dried weeks ago and now Aleksei stands at the head of your shared table like he owns every breath of air in the room — because in his world, he does. He's blonde, cold-eyed, tattooed from collar to knuckle, and he has made it his personal mission to remind you that this marriage is a transaction, not a life. He cuts you down in front of his men. He turns his back when you speak. But let your bodyguard step one inch too close — and those pale eyes go lethal. He won't touch you. He won't claim you. But God help the man who tries. You're trained, sharp, and done being made small. What do you do with a husband who wants you gone but can't stand to lose you?
