Lilia Morgan spent her whole life forging her own path, determined never to be a pawn in anyone’s game. But when a long-buried engagement agreement forces her into marriage with Damian Crawford—the cold, calculating heir to an empire—her carefully built independence begins to slip through her fingers. She refuses to surrender. Determined to escape, she strikes a deal with the devil himself: one year in his world, and if she can settle her family’s debt before time runs out, she walks away—no strings attached. But Damian never makes a deal he doesn’t intend to win. For years, he has watched her from a distance, knowing she was meant to be his. Now, with Lilia trapped in his orbit, he will use every opportunity to remind her that control is an illusion—and in his world, she belongs to him. As corporate warfare, long-buried betrayals, and the ghosts of their pasts threaten to tear them apart, Lilia and Damian are drawn into a dangerous battle—one where power, passion, and obsession collide. But when desire turns into something far more dangerous, Lilia must decide: is Damian her greatest enemy, or the only man who was ever meant to stand by her side? A gripping enemies-to-lovers romance with ruthless power struggles, slow-burning intensity, and a billionaire who refuses to lose. Love and war have never been so intoxicating—but in this game, only one of them can walk away unscathed.

CHAPTER 2
Lilia barely remembered how she got home.Her mind spun in chaotic disarray as she replayed Damian’s words over and over.We are engaged.The claim hit her like a thunderclap—unreal, impossible—but the certainty in his voice twisted her stomach into knots. He spoke as if this was an undeniable fact, and her confusion only deepened.But no. This couldn’t be true.There had to be a mistake.Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone, dialing the one person who could give her answers. Her fingers trembled slightly, but she had to know.The phone rang three times before the familiar voice of her grandfather answered.“Lilia?”His voice felt like a hammer to her chest. The fury that had been bubbling inside her finally erupted.“Is it true?” she demanded, her voice tight with anger.A heavy pause followed. Then, a sigh.“I see you’ve spoken to him.”Lilia’s grip tightened around the phone, her jaw clenching. “So it is true,” she hissed, waiting for him to deny it, to assure her this was some

CHAPTER 3
The room was thick with tension as Damian leaned back in his chair, his gaze never leaving Lilia. The terms of their agreement hung in the air like a storm cloud. One year. Just one year, and everything would be resolved. Her family’s debt would be gone, and she would be free. But the weight of that one year felt heavier than anything she had ever faced before.Lilia’s fists clenched at her sides. The anger building inside her was suffocating, but she fought to keep her voice steady. “You think you can just walk into my life and decide everything for me, don’t you?” she spat, the frustration clear in her words. “You don’t have the right to control me.”Damian didn’t flinch. His expression remained cool, almost amused. “I’m not controlling you, Lilia. I’m offering you a solution. A way out of this mess.”Lilia shook her head, the words coming out in a sharp hiss. “I don’t need your solutions,” she snapped, her chest tightening. “I don’t need you to save me. I’m not some charity case you

CHAPTER 4
Lilia felt herself being dragged into a storm she couldn’t escape. Damian was silent, his grip firm and unyielding as he pulled her out of her apartment. There was no room for resistance. She wasn’t even given a chance to comprehend what was happening before she was inside the car, the engine roaring to life, and the city speeding by in a blur. Every muscle in her body was tense with a strange mixture of fear and confusion.“What are you doing?” Lilia couldn’t hold back any longer, her voice tight with frustration, but Damian only glanced at her, his expression unreadable.“Shut up,” he said calmly, his voice as cold as ice. “This is my business.”Her breath hitched, but she couldn’t bring herself to argue. His words echoed in her head, but the more she tried to make sense of the situation, the less she understood. She wasn’t part of whatever plan Damian was carrying out, yet here she was, being dragged along for a ride that had clearly left her behind. She had no say. No control.The

CHAPTER 5
The car sped through the city streets, the muffled hum of the engine filling the tense silence between them. Lilia sat in the back, her gaze fixed on the window, but her mind was miles away. Every turn, every passing street sign seemed to mock her, as though the city was indifferent to her fate, indifferent to the choice she had just made.She had agreed to marry Damian. She had no choice. The debt, her family’s future, everything was on her shoulders now. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t angry. Furious, even. How had she let herself get here?Damian, on the other hand, remained unbothered. His calm demeanor, as always, made her blood boil. It wasn’t just the fact that he’d manipulated her into this. It was the way he had calmly steered her life toward this path as if she had never had a say.

CHAPTER 6
Lilia sat on the edge of the bed, the glow of her phone casting a faint light across the room. The message from Mark had been sitting there for what felt like an eternity, unread but not ignored. Each word he wrote seemed to pull at something deep inside her—something she thought she had buried long ago. Her fingers hovered over the screen, hesitant to engage, yet unable to shake the raw pull of his apology.“I made a mistake. I never wanted to hurt you, but I need you to know the truth. It was never just her. I was never happy with her... I was just too afraid to tell you. Please, come talk to me. I’ll explain everything.”Every syllable felt like a weight on her chest. She hadn’t heard from Mark in so long, and now, in the midst of everything, here he was again, asking for a second chance. The words tore at her—she wanted to believe him, wanted to believe that they could go back to the way they were, before everything had fallen apart. But the bitterness of betrayal still lingered i
