Some cages are gilded. Some hearts are meant to burn.
I was never meant for this world.
Yet it swallowed me whole—dragging me into a life built on power, danger, and secrets I was never meant to uncover.
Every command he gives, every shadowed glance, reminds me that my freedom is an illusion. He owns the air I breathe, the space I move in… and the thoughts I try to silence.
He rules with ruthless precision—cold, merciless, unstoppable.
But even in his darkness, there’s something that calls to me.
A heat that curls deep inside my chest.
A temptation I can’t escape.
I shouldn’t crave him.
I shouldn’t want him.
I shouldn’t let myself fall.
But desire isn’t a choice—it’s a storm.
And I’m caught in its path.
In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal lurks behind every vow, survival demands sacrifice.
And sometimes… the only way to endure is to surrender.
But surrender comes with a price—
and I’m no longer sure I’m ready to pay it.
