Synopsis: Kayla Marshall’s life takes a dark turn when she is forced into a contract with Adrian Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire whose charm is as dangerous as his secrets. What begins as a desperate attempt to save her family quickly spirals into a world of power plays, forbidden desires, and unspoken rules. Bound by Adrian's control, Kayla must navigate a life where trust is a currency and vulnerability is a weapon. As she peels back the layers of his secretive world, she discovers that the lines between dominance and obsession, submission and strength, are far more blurred than she ever imagined. But in a game where Adrian makes the rules, will Kayla find the strength to rewrite them? The stakes are high, the tension electric—and in this world, control is everything.

Ethan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, maneuvering his way through the traffic like a pro. He stole a glance at Kayla through the rear mirror. She wasapplying pressure with a cloth to her wound, her face pale, but her eyes— held something more than the pain she was supposed to be feeling."Say something please," she whispered, her voice hoarse.Ethan exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "What in God's name do you expect me to say, Kayla? That I didn’t just hear Victor call you Elora? That I didn’t just watch you stand there like a deer in headlights instead of denying it properly?"Kayla swallowed hard. "Ethan, please, don’t tell Adrian. Not yet."Ethan let out a sad chuckle.

Kayla stiffened, her hands curling into fists as a defense tool also her mind raced for an escape plan. And then he appeared.Victor stepped into the dim glow of the hanging bulbs, his expression bubbly, his dark eyes dancing with amusement. He took slow, calculated steps toward her, clapping his hands mockingly.“Well, well, well… Look what we have here,” Victor said , stopping just a few feet away.

And I must say, I stumbled upon something…

Victor leaned back against the leather chair in his dimly lit office, rotating his chair as his cold gaze fixed on Fiona. The lighting in the room isn't even helping matters. It makes everywhere look eerie.. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the polished surface of his desk, the silence between them suffocating Fiona, she kept thinking why he must have summoned her in such a haste.. Fiona stood before him, her heart pounding, her hands clenched at her sides in fear."You will kill Kayla," Victor said, his voice disturbingly calm for the words he just uttered.Fiona's breath hitched. Her fingers curled into fists as her body tensed. "What?" she whispered, as if she had misheard.Victor leaned forward, a slow, menacing smirk playing on his lips. "I know You heard me, Fiona. If you don't do it, I'll kill you myself. And trust me, it won’t be quick or painless."Fiona felt her stomach drop. She had played dangerous games before, but this… this was beyond anything she had ever imagined

Adrian's bedroom was very except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor attached to Adrian. His unconscious body laid still on the bed. His clothes still blood soaked. The doctor had to cut it up to treat the bullet wound on his chest. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic. The chilling chaos of what happened could not be forgotten. Kayla sat beside him, her fingers entwined with his, her firm grip as if , if she held onto him tightly, it would keep him from slipping away from her. She hadn't eaten or slept.

That’s all that matters. Ethan walks beside him, face set like stone. "This feels too easy," he mutters under his breath. Adrian’s jaw ticks. "It’s not. He wants us here." They push through the heavy double doors leading to Victor’s private lounge. And there he is. Sitting in the middle of the dimly lit room like he owns the world. Very stupid individual.A smirk plays on his lips as he twirls a glass of champagne in his hand. But Adrian’s eyes don’t linger on him.
