But on New Year's Eve, the three eldest Valerius brothers, led by Rex, attack the Crowhurst mansion in their search for the hidden 'Tainted Beauty', whoever she might be.

"𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦." Sophia gasped as his hand tightened around her neck, his gun suddenly lowered to her heat, teasing her. The more she fought, the tighter his grip got and the more breathless she grew as he started moving the gun against her, making the knot in her stomach tighten. Storm took the safety off the gun, glaring at her with those piercing arctic eyes of his. "Scream for me, pet." Sophia screamed. ❦ Sophia Morales' life shattered when her family fell victim to a brutal murder, orchestrated by Viktor "Storm" Osipova, a notorious hitman entangled in the dark web of the Russian mafia. Storm's brutality had forever marked the girl's life. Storm took everything from her and, in turn, threw the young girl into an orphanage, only to be tossed from family to family, enduring abuse and neglect. For years, Sophia's insatiable thirst for retribution grew, twisting into something far darker and more sinister than mere revenge. Storm became the object of her obsession as her anger transcended a simple wish for revenge, particularly as she grew up parentless and deprived of affection. But vengeance alone was not what drove the young girl. Her obsession with Storm grew with each passing day she was abused by the very system his actions had inadvertently thrown her into. For several years, she had been stalking him, waiting for the perfect moment to exact her revenge and unveil the enigmatic layers of the man who had torn her world apart, as the line between vengeance and obsession blurred. Sophia was determined to avenge her family-even if it meant taking a life in their name.

"He's the monster in my nightmares... and the love I can't escape." I thought the lullaby was just a dream. A haunting melody, whispered in the dark. But then I saw him ~those eyes, burning like fire~and realized the song wasn't just in my head. It was a call. A bond. A curse. Azael is no ordinary man. He is a fallen angel, chained to my soul since the day I was born. And now that I've turned eighteen, he has come to claim me. He is dangerous. Possessive. Eternal. And I should be terrified of him. But every night, when he sings me to sleep... I can't help but fall a little deeper into the darkness that is him. "He's the monster from my dreams. So why does it feel like I belong to him?"
