Julian Raines lost everything—his career, his reputation, and now, his brother. When Bash is kidnapped and set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder, Julian is desperate enough to make a deal with the devil himself. Cassiel Vance is a billionaire with the power to bring men to their knees—or bury them. He agrees to save Bash, but his price is steep: Julian’s hand in marriage. It’s not love. It’s control. But when Julian learns the truth, hatred isn’t enough to stop the war between them from turning into something darker. Something impossible to escape. And when their enemies return, Cassiel makes a move so unthinkable, so monstrous, that Julian is forced to ask himself: What’s more terrifying? The man who stole his freedom… or the fact that he might never want it back?

Chapter 1

Julian’s POVThe air outside Cassiel Morelli’s estate was thick and stifling. Even with the cool night breeze brushing against my skin, I could feel the weight pressing down on my chest. The iron gates had locked behind me with a resounding clang, cutting off any chance of escape—not that I had anywhere else to go.I stood at the entrance, my fists clenched at my sides as the butler led me through towering double doors. The mansion swallowed me whole, drowning me in the feel of wealth that felt suffocating rather than impressive. Marble floors gleamed under dim chandeliers, casting ghostly reflections of me as I moved forward.I hadn’t been in a place like this in a long time. Not since my world had collapsed.Not since Cassiel Morelli had helped destroy it.The butler stopped at another set of doors, polished wood carved with intricate designs. He opened them with a slight bow, stepping aside.I squared my shoulders and walked in.Cassiel was waiting.He sat in a high-backed leather...

Chapter 2
Cassiel‘s POVI watched from the floor-to-ceiling window of my study, my gaze locked onto Julian’s retreating form.I had expected resistance but what I hadn’t expected was the hesitation.Julian was too proud to beg. Too stubborn to make desperate bargains—at least, that’s who he had been. But the man who had walked into my house tonight was different.I had seen it in his eyes. The exhaustion. The quiet, bone-deep fear.It had been… satisfying.A long time ago, he had tried to put me in handcuffs. Had stood in courtrooms and called me a criminal, a parasite feeding off society. And now, he was here, seeking me out like a lifeline.Poetic.I turned from the window as Enzo stepped into the study.“You let him leave?” He asked.I poured myself another drink. “He’ll be back.”Enzo crossed his arms. “You sure about that?”I took a sip, savoring the burn. “He doesn’t have another choice.”Enzo exhaled sharply. “And if he does?”I set my glass down, my expression turning cold.“Then I’ll

Chapter 3
Cassiel’s POVThe underground club was a temple of excesses — soft candlelight flickered across dark velvet walls, and low music hummed beneath the murmur of the world’s wealthiest and most dangerous men. Here, the rules of the outside world didn’t exist. Deals were made with whispers, fortunes were lost with a glance, and power belonged to the one willing to pay the highest price.I sat in my usual place—an exclusive balcony overlooking the grand auction hall. From here, I could see everything, every desperate soul trying to sell themselves into favor, every predator waiting to devour them.But tonight, I wasn’t alone.The woman beside me was draped in an elegant black gown, her silver mask catching the dim light. She was poised, exuding an effortless grace that made others assume she was just another socialite on my arm. But those who knew better understood she was more than that.She swirled her wine, her voice smooth. “You’re quieter than usual. This place doesn’t entertain you an

Chapter 4
Cassiel’s POVI watched Julian closely, my steel-gray eyes hidden behind the smooth mask. The younger man sat rigidly in the leather seat across from me, his jaw locked tight, his hazel eyes sharp with defiance. I could feel the energy radiating off him—anger, suspicion, exhaustion.And yet, he didn’t truly understand his situation. Not yet.The luxury car slid through the dark streets, heading toward an undisclosed location. I had made sure Julian wouldn’t remember the route. A touch of sedative in his drink was all it took. He had refused the whiskey he’d been offered earlier, but I had anticipated that. I had simply waited for the right moment, offering water instead.It took less than five minutes for his body to betray him. His grip on his thighs had loosened, his posture softening as his breaths slowed.The last thing he had managed was a sharp glare before his body gave out.Now, I sat across from him, my fingers tapping absently against his knee. The car’s headlights sliced th

Chapter 5
Julian’s POVI stared at the masked man before me as I sat backstage after I had been bought by this stranger, a shiver running down my spine.I didn’t know who he was.But I knew — I might have just made the worst mistake of my life.My breath shuddered and my body tensed, heat rolled off me in waves.This stranger had won the bid for my freedom.And somehow, I felt I had never been more trapped than this moment. Regretting my decision wasn’t something I wanted to entertain since I had made up my mind not to stay with Cassiel but I had to admit that the feeling I kept pushing back was regret. ___________________The air in the room was thick with tension, the only sounds present was the crackling fire and the measured breaths we took. I watched as the stranger stood bare before me.The heat in the room had nothing to do with the fire.I watched as he tilted his head, gray eyes dark behind the mask. He reached forward, grazing his fingers along my shoulder. I didn’t fl

Chapter 6
Cassiel’s POVJulian stood in front of my desk, his posture rigid, his sharp hazel eyes burning with defiance. The dim light from the chandelier above cast a soft glow on his face, highlighting the tension in his jaw as I could see it move. His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and I could see the faint tremor in them—anger, frustration, maybe even fear, though he’d rather die than admit it.The contract lay untouched on the mahogany surface between us. A silent war. A line he refused to cross.I leaned back in my chair, fingers interlocked. “I told you before, Julian,” I said, my voice calm, measured. “I don’t do charity. If you want my help finding your brother, you give me something in return.”His laugh was bitter. “Right. And what exactly am I giving you, Morelli? A warm body in your bed?”I exhaled through my nose, my patience razor-thin. “You think this is just about sex?” I reached for the glass of whiskey in front of me, swirling the amber liquid before taking a s

Chapter 7
Julian’s POVThe drive back from the villa was suffocating.I sat stiffly in the passenger seat of Cassiel’s sleek black Aston Martin, the hum of the engine filling the silence between us. The events of the last twenty-four to forty-eight hours played on a loop in my head, each memory heavier than the last.Bash. The auction. The contract. Cassiel.My hands clenched on my lap as the city lights flickered past the tinted windows. We should have been heading straight to the penthouse — I had resigned myself to that much — but instead, Cassiel’s driver took an unexpected turn down a familiar street.My stomach twisted.It was my apartment.I hadn’t been back in days, but even now, the sight of the run-down building sent a wave of exhaustion crashing over me. The peeling paint, the rusted fire escape, the flickering hallway lights—it was barely livable. But it was mine.The car pulled into a spot effortlessly and the driver killed the engine.I turned to Cassiel, eyes narrowing. “Why are

Chapter 8
Julian’s POVI didn’t sleep.Even after Cassiel left the room, the air remained thick with tension, his words lingering like cigarette smoke—You’ll beg me to keep you there.Like hell I will.The bed beneath me was too soft, the sheets too smooth. Everything smelled like him — a mix of leather and something darker, something that made my pulse spike every time it reached me. I should have been exhausted. My body ached, my mind was fractured, but rest was impossible in Cassiel’s world.I sat up, running a hand through my hair. This wasn’t working. I needed space. Air. Anything that didn’t feel like I was suffocating under Cassiel’s control.Get out. Now.Slipping out of bed, I padded toward the door, testing the handle. It turned easily. Not locked. The fact that he hadn’t physically trapped me should have been a relief, but somehow, it felt worse.He doesn’t need to lock you in. He already owns you.I shoved the thought aside and stepped into the dimly lit hallway, moving cautiously.

Chapter 9
Julian’s POVI felt like I was losing it.“You’re restless.” Cassiel smirked, watching me. There was really no point in denying it but I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.I exhaled through my nose in an effort to calm myself. He smirked, but there was something deeper in his gaze. Something knowing.“You’ve barely been here an hour, and you’re already pacing,” Cassiel mused. “Did you think you’d adjust so quickly?”I crossed my arms, not caring for the sarcasm. “I didn’t think I’d have to adjust to anything. This isn’t my home.”He took a slow step forward. “It is now.”My jaw tightened. “Not by choice.”He hummed, unconcerned. “Choice is a luxury, Julian. One you spent long before you ever met me.”I clenched my fists. I didn’t need reminders. I didn’t need Cassiel standing there, looking at me like I was some petulant thing throwing a tantrum over a life he’d already lost.“You can keep pretending you have control,” He murmured, closing the distance between us. “But we both know y

Chapter 10
Cassiel’s POVJulian didn’t lock the door.Of course, he didn’t.I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel slung low around my hips, water dripping from my hair, rolling down my chest. I knew he could hear me—his breath hitched, a sharp inhale that cut through the heavy silence of the room.I didn’t acknowledge him. Not yet.The bedroom lights were dim, casting shadows along the walls. Julian sat on the edge of the bed, his back tense, his hands gripping the sheets like he was holding himself in place. Like he knew—He should leave.He wouldn’t.I crossed the room without a word, heading for the closet. I could feel his gaze on me, tracking every movement, the weight of it almost palpable. I let the towel hang a little looser, just enough to test him.He exhaled sharply.I bit back a smirk.The closet door creaked open. I reached for a pair of worn pajama pants, pulling them from the drawer, but then—I changed my mind.I turned back. Stepped out.Naked.Julian made a strangled sound—som
