Unwritten Terms

She was never part of the plan. He was never supposed to need her. Cassian Drake doesn’t lose control. Not in business. Not in life. And definitely not in relationships. As the ruthless billionaire behind Drake Logistics, everything he builds follows one rule: structure first, emotion never. Ellen Farrow lives a completely different reality. She’s a nurse working long shifts, juggling bills, and holding her family together with sheer determination. She doesn’t have time for powerful men, complicated lives, or anything that comes with strings attached. But when Cassian funds the hospital where she works, their worlds collide. At first, it’s nothing more than proximity. A few conversations. A few quiet moments that don’t mean anything. Until they do. Because Ellen doesn’t treat him like a billionaire. She doesn’t ask for anything. And she doesn’t wait for permission. And Cassian… can’t seem to walk away. When an unexpected obligation threatens everything he’s built, the lines between business and something dangerously real begin to blur. What started as something simple becomes something neither of them can control. Now they’re caught in something neither of them planned— and neither of them knows how to stop. Some rules are written. Some rules are broken. And some… are never spoken at all.
