He bought me. He claimed me by force. Now, he expects me to kneel.
Sold to the Triad’s deadliest enforcer as a boy, my life was never my own.
Moon raised me into his perfect weapon, always watching from the shadows, keeping his distance until the day he finally decided I belonged to him.
My best friend, Dash, and I thought leaving Shanghai meant we’d finally escaped the Triad.
We were so wrong.
The moment we return, she is forced into a marriage with Moon’s best friend.
And I’m dragged back into the hands of the only man whose path was always intertwined with mine. A savage demon who mistakes obsession for love, and craves my total submission.
I hate him. But I hate the part of me that wants him even more.
He decides when I breathe. How I live. When I die.
But I’m no longer the frightened boy he bought. If he wants me… he’ll have to bleed for it.
Before this is over, I’ll make him beg. While I slowly, torturously, kill his only reason for living.
That’s not a threat. It’s a promise.
