My father built an empire of black roses and blood.
He left me nothing but enemies.
At his funeral, under the rain and the cameras, I learned the truth:
I was never free. I was always bound—by legacy, by power, and now by him.
Damian Vale.
Billionaire. Kingmaker. Ruthless mafia boss.
The man every rival fears, and the one I should hate most.
He tells me it’s protection when he takes control of my life.
I see the truth—it’s possession.
These aren’t contracts. They’re shackles.
But in his hands, even chains feel like temptation.
Enemies-to-lovers was never the plan.
Yet every glance is a dare, every touch a war.
And when he whispers, ‘Smile, Elara—they’re deciding whether to kill you or crown you,’
I learn survival in his world isn’t about escape.
It’s about surrender.
This is my story.
Of power traded like currency.
Of betrayal that cuts deeper than blood.
Of a dark, steamy romance where danger is my shadow and desire is my weapon.
I was meant to be a pawn.
Bound by him, I became the queen.
