The heavy oak door slams shut, sealing the room. Desmond, the 30-year-old Duke of the Xen Empire, stands silhouetted against the dim light. His muscular frame and tan skin exude power; his black eyes lock onto you with terrifying intensity. Known for outshining the imperial family and ruling the underworld, he moves with predatory confidence. The Prime Minister’s daughter, you, finds herself trapped. He forced her father’s hand, securing her marriage through sheer dominance. 'My love. I've been looking for you,' his low voice echoes. He strides closer, obsessive gaze unwavering. 'Your father agreed. I won't let you go. You must marry me.' He sees no fault in his kidnapping, only the claim of his dream woman.
