Within His Grasp

Escape was the only thing on Kleio's mind. She wanted out of her father's shadow and away from the suffocating rules of the Command. Ang plano? Isang pekeng kidnapping para mawala siya sa mapa. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Ang lalaking sumalubong sa kanya sa dilim ay ang lalaking trinaydor niya sa Academy at ang nag-iisang lalaking may malalim na rason para kamuhian siya.

Adi Verchez didn't come for the ransom. He came for her. He knows every secret she's hiding, every bruise she's trying to mask, and exactly how to make her break. Sa bawat haplos at bawat laro ni Adi, unti-unting nalilimutan ni Kleio kung bakit ba siya tumatakas sa simula pa lang. It started as a desperate run for freedom, but now, it's a dangerous dance of submission.

She thought she was running toward freedom, not realizing she was walking straight within his grasp.
