Powerful. Untouchable. She's trapped in a world that doesn't care - chained, forgotten, surviving in silence while the man she once loved built his empire around her. To her, he's an ex. To him, she's still property. He ran drugs. Moved product. Made enemies. When AX and his crew came to collect what was owed, Dane ran. He didn't leave empty-handed. He took something that didn't belong to him. Something AX needs back. She was the only thing he left behind. AX doesn't go looking for her. She's delivered. But the longer he watches her - bruised but observant - the harder it becomes to treat her like leverage. Every moment between them is tense. Charged. Unspoken. And in a world built on power, debt, and violence, survival isn't about innocence. It's about who decides you're worth keeping alive.
