The Volkov Ledger: Book 2 The perfect marriage is a masterpiece of design. The perfect lie is built beneath it. Ares Volkov is a man driven by absolute calculation. When his family council forces him into a strategic marriage, it is a proposal too lucrative to refuse-an alliance that promises to completely satisfy his insatiable greed for wealth, corporate dominance, and unassailable high-sector reputation. By every public metric, marrying the brilliant and fiercely confident Elizabeth Ashbourne is the ultimate power move. But Ares has never balanced his ledger by giving up what is already his. He refuses to part with his most prized possession, the property he spent so much energy acquiring. To navigate this impossible tightrope, Ares designs a chilling architectural solution: a state-of-the-art subterranean house built directly beneath the pristine marble foundations of his new marital estate. Above ground, he is the picture of dynastic success beside his new bride. Below ground, hidden entirely from the world, Sheizah is quietly relocated into the high-tech sub-levels. Bound by a marriage of convenience on the surface and anchored to a dark obsession in the dark, Ares must play a flawless game of control. How long can a man rule an empire when he is living a double life right under his own roof? The network is watching. The ledger is open. Will you step beneath the foundations?
