Chapter 1.

Aria and Adrian have been together for a year and are seemingly fine as they branch out on their own, Aria advancing in her new position as an SIS agent and Adrian becoming a household name as he persues his role as next in line for the throne. A relationship built on deceit is never quite stable though, and what they don't know about each other could be more than just cracks in the foundation. Meanwhile, Maximilian harbors a secret that could not only destroy him, but the entire royal family.
