I was only fourteen when the world turned dark. Stolen from everything I knew and forced into the secret empire known as Dark Roses. There, I became a symbol-The Rose. Dressed like royalty. Trained to serve. Waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. And then he came. Ronan Astor. The Russian King. He didn't save me. He bought me. And now...I belong to him. 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫... She was never supposed to be mine. I never bought any woman, only used them. But the second I saw her, I knew. Too young. Too pure. Too broken. And still...she became everything. I told myself I'd protect her from this world. But how do you protect someone from yourself? Now she's mine-by fate, by force, Now she's mine-by fate, by force, by obsession. And I'll kill anyone who tries to take her from me. . . . . . . . -𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 -𝐌𝐌𝐂 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐖 𝐌𝐅𝐂 -𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 / 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠

I've spent my life hiding behind my family name, trying to forget the nightmares of my past. After four years of freedom in New York, I thought I could finally escape the chains of my marriage-of my past. But I was wrong. He's back. And I'm not ready for him. But I never was. . . . . . . . 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫... She was the one I couldn't have. The one I needed. The one I claimed long before she was old enough to understand what that meant. Four years ago, I let her walk away, but now? I'll make her mine again. No matter the cost. No matter the secrets or betrayal I made in the past. . . . . . . . -𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 -𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 -𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

Now we're in Russia, together, but can a shattered heart ever truly heal? He's the king of this empire, and I'm the queen by his side- But our love is still tainted by the past. He promised me the world, but he can't promise me freedom. Can I trust him again, or am I just another pawn in his game? . . . . . . . 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫... She came back to me, but it wasn't the same. She's mine, but she's still running from everything I've done. I built an empire for her, destroyed everything in my path to keep her safe, but now, I have to prove she's not just my queen-she's my everything. I've taken everything from her, but I'll give her everything she's ever dreamed of. And this time, I won't let her go.
