Reckless Obsession [18+]

Nicander
As the head of the family I have everything I could ever want.
Money.
Women.
Respect.
And an arsenal that would make the FBI weep. Like every man with too much time, money, and power, I have an obsession. A petite, wide-eyed obsession who haunts my every thought, completely unaware of the danger she's in. She's kin to my enemies, and that makes her mine to claim. I've lived for power, but now, I'll stop at nothing to possess her. The clock is ticking, and once I make her mine, there's no going back.

Reia
My life feels like an endless loop of monotony. Every day, I find myself trapped in a relentless cycle: taking care of my mother, who seems intent on drinking herself into oblivion; working tirelessly just to keep up with an avalanche of bills; and fighting against the fainting spells that have come to define my existence.
But then, everything changes.
He enters my life like a dark angel, swooping in and igniting a fire that burns through the mundanity. His presence is magnetic, his touch electrifying, as he steers me toward a path I never saw coming.
Nicander Ybakov is not a man who takes "no" for an answer. The towering Russian is enigmatic, intimidating, and undeniably attractive. The only problem, he's as stubborn and demanding as he is rich and ruthless. And if the massive private estate he steals me away to, under the guise of protection, is anything to go by, I'd say I'm in way over my head.
I wanted to escape my old life, to be free from the burdens that have weighed me down for so long. But in Nicander's world, freedom comes at a cost, and I'm beginning to wonder if I can ever walk away from the fire he's lit within me. Despite every instinct telling me to run, something about him draws me in, compelling me to stay. But beneath his cold exterior lies a mystery I can't resist uncovering.
His motives are as murky as his life, and though the lavish estate promises safety, I can't shake that he might be the biggest monster of them all.
