"Run all you want, little wild rose… but you’ll never escape me." Nirvana’s life was supposed to be simple…until betrayal sold her to the devil himself. RAyNe St Trinity is cold, cruel, and untouchable, a man who rules the underworld with blood-stained hands and an unforgiving grip. Now, she’s his possession. A pawn in his ruthless game. She resists. He enjoys the challenge. She begs for freedom. He tightens his hold. But as the lines between obsession and desire blur, Nirvana realizes escaping RAyNe isn’t just impossible…it might be the last thing she wants. And when danger closes in, she’s forced to ask herself the one question that terrifies her most… What if the man she fears is the only one who can save her?

Lucky you."Adrian poured himself a drink, hands slightly shaking. He hadn’t been the same since RAyNe stormed that warehouse. Since Nirvana disappeared from their radar. He paced more now. Slept less. Paranoia was seeping into his bones."You shouldn't have come here. Not with everything so hot.""Relax," Siara rolled her eyes. "I’m not stupid. I wasn’t followed.""He’ll come for us.""No," she said coolly, taking the glass from his hand and drinking it herself. "Not anymore. I’ve taken care of it."Adrian frowned. "What the hell are you talking about?"Siara’s lips curled into a smile as she sat on the armrest of his couch. "I gave him something else to worry about.""What did you do?""I made Nirvana the villain."Adrian blinked. "You what?""She’s locked up. Confined like a dog. Everyone thinks she tried to kill RAyNe’
"SOMEONE CALL FOR HELP!!"The shriek cut through the upper floor like a razor. One of the younger maids was screaming from the hallway outside the guest wing, her face white with panic.RAyNe's head snapped up.Nirvana's heart dropped.She hadn’t moved from the top of the stairs since finding Sienna’s bloodied body. Her limbs had gone stiff, her voice frozen in her throat."What happened?!" Elias's voice boomed as he sprinted up the steps with RAyNe and Lucian close behind."I…I don’t know, she just…""Move!" RAyNe barked, shoving past them. He saw Nirvana frozen in place, and then…His eyes landed on Sienna at the bottom of the stairs."Sienna!" he roared and bolted.Elias dropped to his knees beside her, checking her pulse, tilting her head carefully."She’s alive," he murmured, "but she needs to get to the hospital immediately. Head trauma. Possible spinal injury."RAyNe turned his gaze up the stairs slowly…locking eyes with Nirvana.His chest heaved. His stare darkened."What the
RAyNe sat alone in his office, the heavy silence gnawing at his insides. One hand gripped the edge of the desk, the other hung loose by his side.He couldn’t focus. Couldn’t breathe properly.Her words wouldn’t stop ringing in his head.“I never chose you. You forced your way in.”His jaw tightened.He didn’t know why his chest ached so badly. Or maybe he did…and didn’t want to admit it.She didn’t know.Didn’t know he’d never bought her to play with her. Didn’t know he had loved her from the very first time they met.Didn’t remember.Flashback - Five Years AgoThe Elites Banquet.High ceilings, gold chandeliers, men in custom-tailored suits and women dressed in whispers of diamonds and silk.RAyNe stood near the bar, swirling whiskey in a crystal glass. Sharp suit. Sharper confidence.And then…She walked in.Nirvana Castillo.Bright. Beaming. All teeth and laughter. The kind of woman who walked like the world was hers.And it was.He approached her without hesitation.“You look bore
"You eat toast like it personally offended you."Nirvana didn’t look up from her plate. "That’s rich coming from someone who cuts steak with the same aggression as a mob enforcer."RAyNe grinned as he sipped his coffee. "You calling me a brute, wild sin?""I’m calling you a psycho with expensive manners.""You love it.""I tolerate it.""That’s not what you said last night."She kicked his leg under the table.He laughed.Lucian walked in, placing a few files on the table. "Morning.""He’s already working?" Nirvana rolled her eyes. "Do you guys have off days, or is it world domination all day, every day?"RAyNe didn’t miss a beat. "What’s sleep when you own the night?""Ugh. You’re impossible.""But cute."She narrowed her eyes. "Questionable.""Undeniable.""Delusional."Sienna entered with Elias, mid-laugh. "You two are worse than a telenovela.""Don’t encourage him," Nirvana muttered.Elias chuckled as he took a seat beside Sienna. "It’s good to see you like this, Nirvana."She sof
Nirvana sat curled up on the plush guest bed, knees to her chest, eyes locked on the window, even though there was nothing interesting outside. Just trees swaying. Sky darkening. Shadows moving.She hadn’t spoken to RAyNe since he brought her back.But she had started talking to everyone else.Gianni made her laugh yesterday with his horrible card tricks. Lucian always brought her her favorite snacks and asked no questions. Luna braided her hair in silence, letting Nirvana feel human again. And Elias Monroe…too calm, too observant, too gentle…kept checking her vitals like he could diagnose her grief.But Sienna? Sienna had crawled into her broken world and sat there beside her. Quiet. Present. Real. They talked at night when the whole house was asleep. They cried, sometimes without speaking.RAyNe? She avoided him like plague.She heard the door open but didn’t move.His footsteps were unmistakable.She tightened her arms around her legs.“I’m moving you into my room,” RAyNe said flat
“Drive faster.”RAyNe’s voice cut through the silence like a blade. His hand gripped Nirvana’s cold fingers tightly as she lay in the backseat, her head against his chest, bruised, bleeding, but conscious.“I’m fine,” she muttered weakly.“No, you’re not.”“You don’t get to say that.”His jaw clenched. “I just dragged you out of hell.”“You threw me in it first.”Lucian, seated in the front, didn’t dare breathe too loud.Gianni kept his eyes on the road, foot pressed to the pedal. “ETA: ten minutes.”RAyNe looked down at her face. Her cheek was swollen, her lip cut. The dried blood on her temple made something in him twist violently.“I didn’t know they took you,” he said quietly. “If I had…”“You bought me,” she whispered. “What difference would it make?”RAyNe didn’t reply.She winced, shifting in his hold. He reached for the blanket draped over the seat and tucked it around her. She turned her face away.“You’re safe now.”“You think that fixes it?”“No. But I’ll kill anyone who ev
RAyNe’s men had the warehouse surrounded like a noose tightening around a throat.From the shadows, he watched her…Celeste…saunter out of the warehouse like she didn’t have the devil himself watching her every move.Her phone rang.She answered with a smile, her voice coated in sugar. "Yes, I’ve fed her, baby."RAyNe’s jaw locked.Celeste chuckled. "I’ll be back soon."Lucian shifted beside him. "It’s him. Adrian.""I know," RAyNe muttered, his eyes narrowing.A scream tore through the still night air.RAyNe stiffened."Nirvana," he growled.Lucian’s hand twitched toward his weapon. "Orders?"RAyNe didn’t blink. "Not yet."Inside the warehouse, Nirvana screamed again.Celeste scowled, yanked the phone from her ear, and cursed. "That stupid bitch! Why is she being so difficult?!"She hung up.The phone rang again.Siara.Celeste rolled her eyes. "Not now."Another scream."Ugh!!"She ignored the call, shoved the phone in her pocket, and stomped back inside.RAyNe’s hand went up."Move!
"Where the fuck is she?!" RAyNe's voice thundered through the estate like a bomb going off, sending staff scattering in every direction. A vase flew across the hallway, crashing into the wall and exploding into porcelain shards. Lucian didn’t flinch. He stood there, eyes steady as RAyNe raged in circles, fists clenched, jaw tight enough to snap. "It’s been two days. TWO fucking DAYS! No camera picked her up? No guards saw anything? No scent trails, no tech ping, no leads?!" "We’ve checked every surveillance inch for the last seventy-two hours," Lucian said calmly. "She vanished." "That’s impossible," RAyNe spat, grabbing the edge of the table and flipping it violently. Papers, files, glasses…everything shattered. "No one vanishes from under my nose!" He was unraveling. Sienna had woken up earlier that day. Quiet. Withdrawn. And though he had gone in to see her, he barely said anything more than, "You’re safe now. I’ll explain everything soon." But he hadn’t explained sh
The room was cold. Damp. Silent, except for the sound of Nirvana’s shallow breaths.She lay on the floor, wrists raw and bloodied from trying to twist out of the ropes, the side of her face throbbing from where she’d been slapped earlier. Her ankle screamed every time she moved. But she didn’t cry. Not anymore.Crying was for when she still had hope.The creak of the door had her flinching, body going rigid.“Well, if it isn’t the heiress of ruins,” Celeste’s voice echoed with a sickening sweetness.Nirvana blinked through the low light, barely able to lift her head.“Aw, don’t give me that look,” Celeste purred, stepping into the room, her heels clicking dramatically on the wooden floor. “You should be honored we even came to see you.”Behind her, Adrian stepped in with a satisfied smirk and a slow clap.“Look at you now,” he said, eyes trailing her battered form with delight. “A far cry from the spoiled little princess who used to cling to me like her life depended on it.”“You…” Ni
"Sell her."The words sliced through the dimly lit room, as cold as the metal cuffs biting into Nirvana Castillo’s wrists.She sucked in a sharp breath, her throat burning from hours of silence, but her head snapped toward the voice. Adrian Holt, the man she had once loved, sat comfortably in a leather chair, his legs crossed as if discussing nothing more than a business transaction."You can't be serious," she finally choked out, her voice hoarse but steady.Adrian’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m very serious.” He leaned forward, his sharp brown eyes glinting with amusement. “You lost your worth the moment your father’s empire collapsed. What use do I have for a broken heiress?”Nirvana’s nails dug into her palms, fury and betrayal coiling in her chest like a snake ready to strike. “You’re disgusting.”His smirk widened. “That may be, but I’m also practical. And let’s be honest…you’ll fetch a high price.”Her stomach churned. The man she had planned to marry, t...
