Some cages aren't made of iron. Some are built with secrets, obsessions, and the cold hands of a man who refuses to let go.
When Reva Desai accepts a high-paying assistant job at the infamous Blackwood Manor, she thinks she's lucky. The estate is luxurious but eerily silent, her employer-Reyaan Rathore-is sinfully handsome yet untouchable, and the rules are simple: obey, stay quiet, and never ask questions.
But the walls whisper at night. Footsteps echo in empty hallways. And behind locked doors, Reyaan hides something much darker than wealth.
The truth unravels one evening when Reva stumbles upon a hidden room-filled with photographs of her, journals detailing her life, and evidence that Reyaan has known her long before they ever met.
She wasn't hired for the job.
She was chosen.
She was hunted.
She was his.
When she tries to run, his grip is unrelenting, his voice a silken warning. "You were never free to leave."
Now, in the heart of a mansion that feels more like a prison, Reva must uncover the truth about Reyaan Rathore-before his twisted love consumes her completely.
Because in this game of obsession and possession, there's only one rule that matters.
She belongs to him.
---
Will Reva ever understand his intentions?
Will Reva give herself to him?
Will Reyaan free her from his prison?
Will they both find their peace?
Let's find out in the story! ✨
Heather Drake is a 22 year old who is hiding from her past and trying to start a new life in California. She is going to be starting with a new career as a teacher at a private school. She is beautiful & witty and doesn't stand for bullshit. Who wouldn't notice her?.. What happens though when she catches the eye of someone who doesn't want to let her go... Who is attached at first sight and wants nothing else but her.
Xavier Sanford is a 25 year old billionaire CEO who is also a single father. He also is a very dangerous man if need be and takes what he wants. He doesn't believe in relationships since they all disappear in the end however all it took was one glance at a bombshell beauty and he knew... she was HIS.
Preview:
"You will be mine Miss Drake and I do not share." I state sternly.
"Release my arm Mr. Sanford before I force you to." She states giving me a fake smile. I smirk at her. She takes her other hand and squeezes my wrist before twisting it in a painful position. I hiss in pain. "Don't underestimate me Mr. Sanford." She whispers in my ear before gently pushing me away from her. I shake my hand and look back at her.
"This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me Miss Drake." She turns and glares at me.
"Mr. Sanford, I am no possession of yours. " She pushes the classroom door open and leaves me standing there.
