OKSANAI knew uncovering the Vargin secrets would be dangerous, but I never imagined the depth of Konstantin's depravity. When he pinned me to the floor with cold steel against my throat, I expected an ending, not a beginning. Now, trapped in his gilded cage, I am at the mercy of a man who sees my life as a debt to be collected and my body as his ultimate collateral. Konstantin's possessive hunger threatens to consume my sanity, yet I cannot escape the terrifying pull of our connection. The moment I met his slate-gray gaze, I was lost. His touch brands me, stripping away my autonomy until I can think of nothing but the heat of his skin and the weight of his command. I know he is a predator, a monster who rules his empire with blood and iron, yet I find a dark, twisted safety in his absolute control. Every time he looks at me with those beautiful, cruel eyes, I am powerless to resist the ruin he promises. This obsession will be my downfall. KONSTANTINThe moment I laid eyes on her, I knew Oksana would be my undoing. I went to that safehouse to silence a witness, to end a life with the same cold indifference I have practiced for years. But the fire in her eyes and her refusal to break under my blade triggered a predatory fixation I couldn't ignore. I should have pulled the trigger and walked away, but instead, I chose to possess her. Now she is mine-heart, body, and soul-but this obsession is a poison that consumes us both. I will strip her of her secrets and her pride until she belongs to no one else, molding her to fit the space I've carved out in my dark world. I'll burn this city to the ground to keep her in my grasp, for I will destroy anyone who dares to take what belongs to me. Even if it means drowning us both in the aftermath.
