Haya's world begins to crumble as X.Y.Z systematically destroys the life she knows-hurting her family, manipulating circumstances, and closing every possible escape route. He leaves her with no choice but to surrender to his demand: marriage. But if X.Y.Z believes that forcing Haya into marriage will make her his, he is mistaken.
