Soul Sold

"I am not a man you run from, Mira. I am a man you fear."

"You can fight me all you want," he murmured, "but in the end, Mira... you'll always end up right where I want you."

Soul Sold - A tale of obsession, betrayal, and a love that defied every attempt to be broken.

Griffin Throne ruled the Throne Empire with an iron fist-casinos built on power, blood, and secrets. Feared. Ruthless. A man who always got what he wanted. And when Mira Diaz was thrown into his grasp-a desperate gamble by her stepfather to erase his debt-Griffin decided she would be his. Not just to satisfy his father's demand for a woman by his side, but to own, to possess, to control.

But Mira was not the type to break easily. She had survived too much-an abusive stepmother, years of suffering under the weight of Raj's endless debts, and the pain of losing her mother to a tragedy that never made sense. She would survive this, too. Even if it meant pretending to surrender. Even if it meant letting Griffin believe he had won.

Yet, the more she fought, the more tangled she became in Griffin's world-and in his past. Beneath his brutal exterior lay scars as deep as hers. A boy once beaten into submission, a man searching for the truth behind his mother's murder. And somehow, despite everything, they understood each other in ways no one else could.

But love wasn't easy for a man who had only known violence, and Mira wasn't willing to fall for the devil who had caged her. She pushed him away. Again and again. Until the moment Griffin did the one thing she never expected-he let her go.

When the truth unraveled-when betrayal bled into vengeance-Griffin made the ultimate sacrifice. He took the bullet meant for her. He bled for her.

Because Mira had never just been a pawn in his empire. She was the only thing that had ever truly been his. His obsession. His salvation.

No matter how hard she ran, how much she resisted-her soul had already been sold to him. And she was always meant to return.
