His Dangerous Embrace

Sneak Peek

Prologue

---

Kai's icy blue eyes bore into hers, a stark contrast to the heat of his breath against her ear. The raw power emanating from him was palpable, a force she couldn't ignore. He was a man accustomed to command, to having every soul tremble under his gaze, yet there was something different in the way he looked at her—something almost possessive.

"You came to me on your own," he reiterated, his voice a deadly whisper. "But you will not escape me, darling. You are mine."

He closed the distance between them, his presence overwhelming. She shuddered, her fear a tangible thing in the oppressive air. Her timid nature had always kept her from the horrors of his world, but now, standing before the man who ruled Asia's underworld, she realized just how naive she had been.

"P-please, let m—" Her plea was cut short by the deafening crack of a gunshot. The man hiding behind her crumpled to the ground, lifeless. Her breath caught in her throat, paralyzed by shock. The echo of the gunshot still rang in her ears when Kai's strong arms wrapped around her, lifting her effortlessly.

He leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "Let's make you learn a good lesson for trying to trespass me."

Her heart pounded in her chest, a wild, desperate rhythm as she imagined the horrors he might inflict. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she blinked them back, refusing to show weakness. Kai carried her through dimly lit corridors, his grip unyielding yet strangely protective.

As they reached a grand room adorned with opulent decor, he set her down, his eyes never leaving hers. "Do you have any idea who I am?" he asked, his tone almost gentle, yet laced with a threat.

She shook her head, unable to speak. Her mind raced with fragmented images of his reputation—stories of ruthless dealings, of lives snuffed out on his command. But standing before him, she could see a complexity that the rumors hadn't captured. There was a darkness, yes, but also a deep-seated pain, a vulnerability he kept buried beneath layers of authority.

Kai stepped closer, his hand reaching out to caress her cheek. "You sought my protection," he said softly. "And now, you have it. But protection comes at a price."

Her eyes widened in fear and confusion. "W-what do you mean?" she stammered.

His gaze hardened, the moment of softness vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. "You belong to me now," he declared. "Your fate is in my hands. Defy me, and you'll learn just how dangerous I can be."

She swallowed hard, realizing the gravity of her situation. In seeking safety, she had stepped into the lair of the most dangerous man in Asia. And now, her life was irrevocably tied to his. The thought terrified her, but there was a strange, twisted comfort in knowing that this powerful man had claimed her as his own.

As Kai's fingers trailed down her arm, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake, she understood one thing clearly: she would have to navigate this treacherous new reality with caution, for the man who held her life in his hands was as unpredictable as he was powerful.
