The plan?
Keep my head down. Finish the contract job. Get paid. Go home.
What actually happened?
I stepped out of a charity gala to fix a headset…
and lip-read a murder plot through a glass wall.
Tomorrow night. Devil dies at Dock Seven.
I should’ve walked away.
Instead, I got caught by the one man in the city I should never have looked at twice.
Sevren Vale.
Tailored suit. Cold hands. Polite mouth.
The kind of man who can ruin your life without raising his voice.
He took my phone.
Put his coat on my shoulders.
Walked me through a room full of powerful men like I already belonged to him.
Now my face is everywhere.
The docks know I’m with him.
His enemies know I heard too much.
And the only thing more dangerous than being seen beside the Devil…
is being left alone where his enemies can reach me.
He says he’s protecting me.
But Sevren doesn’t protect like other men.
He watches. He plans. He moves people like pieces.
And the worst part?
He was watching me long before I ever saw him.
I told myself I’d survive this by staying useful.
By reading mouths, reading lies, reading the room before it swallowed me whole.
Then they took my brother.
And Sevren stopped pretending I was only a witness.
Now we’re hunting a network built on forged signatures, sealed transfers, and dead men’s names.
He wants obedience. I want the truth.
The city wants us buried.
But when the Devil looks at me, all calm control and quiet sin, I start to understand something terrifying—
Some men don’t fall in love.
They claim.
And if I’m not careful, I won’t just lose my freedom.
I’ll ask him to ruin me.
