Toy. Doll. Plaything.
I've been called it all.
But they're about to learn a new name for me—
Queen.
I am Bellatrix Lauren, and I bow for no one.
What was supposed to be a vacation turned into a cage— locked inside a mansion with a man who thrives on control and dominance.
Renshaw is cruel. Calculated. Unrelenting.
And he's determined to break me.
He's going to learn the hard way...
I don't break.
But Renshaw isn't the only predator circling.
His rival, Lucian—elusive, wicked, and driven by chaos—has caught my scent too.
And he's not here to save me.
He's here to claim a piece.
Then there's Sebastian. The man who doesn't chase, doesn't bend, doesn't lose.
The one who watches everything... and decides what survives.
Three kings.
One empire built on power, control, and blood.
And me?
I was supposed to be leverage.
A pawn in a system designed long before I entered the board.
But they miscalculated.
Because I'm not trapped with them.
They're locked in a game with me.
I won't drown in a pool of sharks.
I'll make them bleed for me.
And when the dust settles—
I won't be standing beside them.
I'll be the reason the empire didn't fall.
