"Do you have any idea what I'd do if you left me, Elara?" he murmured, his voice deceptively soft.
I didn't answer. I knew better.
He let out a dark chuckle, tilting my chin up until our eyes met. His gaze was wild-obsessed. Unhinged. "I'd hunt you. Drag you back. Chain you to my bed if I had to." His lips ghosted over mine, almost gentle. "And the worst part? You'd still be mine. Willingly or not."
My heart pounded, but I refused to let him see fear. I am not weak or stupid. I won't run like the others.
I will wait. Play the game. And when the time came-I will make him bleed.

Elara Carter was never one to be afraid. Strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and independent, she had always fought her battles alone. But when she returned to her old school after years, she never expected to step right back into the grasp of the one person she should have stayed far away from.
Luca Moretti.
Once, he was the boy who made her smile-the boy with warmth in his eyes and mischief in his heart. Now, he is a man carved from ice and cruelty, a man whose name alone sends chills down spines. The heir to the most feared criminal empire. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously obsessive. And for some reason, he has set his sights on her.
Trapped in a world of madness and power, Elara must decide-fight for her freedom or surrender to the monster who wants nothing more than to own her completely.
Because in Luca's world, love isn't soft. It's dangerous, consuming, and utterly inescapable.
