Summary
No longer able to endure Valentino's abuse, Angel seeks out the gambling overlord, Husk, and begs him to make a bet for his soul. Husk is hesitant to help, worried about the political fallout and public perception.
When Husk witnesses Valentino's cruelty firsthand, he realizes he can't just abandon Angel to his fate. He goes through with Angel's request, but a regular soul contract won’t do. Instead, he binds Angel's soul to him in demonic matrimony, convincing himself that a fake relationship will keep his reputation intact and be good for publicity.
Will their marriage remain a sham, or will their mutual attraction lead to something more? Can they help each other heal the wounds they've both borne for so long? And how will they face the enemies who are determined to separate them forever?

Summary
“My, Mrs. Tucker, your son is really into counting,” the lady who was cutting my mom’s hair said.
Mom smiled and looked proud, “well my son really likes his numbers. By the time he turned four, he already knew how to count up to a hundred,” Mom said.
“Wow, my kid is only five and he barely gets past ten. What’s your secret?”
“To be honest, I’m not sure how it happened. Craig just started counting whenever we go somewhere together.”
“My, I bet by the time your son starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks, he’ll be the first kid there to already know how to count big numbers.”
“We’ll see. What do you think, Craig? Are you excited to start kindergarten?”
“....” I didn’t say anything, I just kept looking at the people walking around the hair salon I was forced to come.
I just kept watching, staring at the big numbers floating above their heads.
