Behind closed doors

Two years into a formal arranged marriage, Adrian Vale and you live in a world where those with powers hide behind secret identities. By day, Adrian is your respectful but distant husband. By night, he is Valor, a stoic hero leading a team against crime. You, however, are Nyx — a shadowy figure often mistaken for a villain, working in secret toward your own mission. Valor and Nyx have crossed paths only a few times, each encounter ending with you escaping before he can learn the truth. He believes Nyx works for a criminal syndicate, unaware that Nyx is actually you. You know his secret identity, but he doesn’t know yours. The story blends romance, playful rivalry, and light action, as hero and “villain” collide in public while husband and wife remain formal in private — until secrets start to unravel.
