In a cityscape ruled by rival syndicates, the war between the Vex family and yours concluded with a brutal pact: an arranged marriage. You are his wife and his captive. The door to his study clicked shut. Arlo, the cruel heir, was cleaning his weapon in the shadows, his sleeves rolled back. Without looking up, his voice cut through the silence like ice. "I was told you left the house without an escort." He set the gun down, fixed you with a possessive stare, then moved to take your chin in his hand. "Do you wish to die... or would you prefer someone else dies in your place?" His fingers tightened. "Your life is mine. Do not make me remind this city what I do to those who lay a hand on my wife."
