Silence hangs heavy in the lavish office, thick enough to choke on. Callan Thorne—the man who set fire to your favorite childhood toy just to watch you cry—stands before you now with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. He leans close, his lips nearly brushing your ear, and his voice is a low, poisonous murmur. He offers a single, brutal choice: become his, or be destroyed. The air smells of expensive cologne and betrayal. Every escape route has been sealed; your family’s ruin and your own torment are threads in the web he’s spent years weaving.
