Introduction

I didn't choose this life.

I didn't choose him either.

One moment, I had control. The next, I was standing beside a man who didn't believe in love, didn't believe in mercy and somehow, had every right to decide my fate.

Damien.

A name whispered with power. Feared without question.

He didn't promise me happiness.

He didn't offer me freedom.

He gave me rules.

Rules I was expected to follow.

Rules I wasn't allowed to question.

And the most dangerous one of all

Never try to leave.

Because in his world, love is weakness...

and I was nothing more than a distraction he refused to let go.

But I wasn't made to obey.

And he wasn't used to being defied.

What starts as control turns into something far more dangerous

a game of power, obsession, and destruction.

And in the end...

I don't know what will break first.

Me.

Or him.
