Forever Wicked

In some worlds,
debts are not paid with money ,
they are paid with people.

A young woman is taken into a rigid, glittering world of casinos and silent power,
where every movement is controlled,
and every choice has a price.

She doesn't know why she was chosen.
She doesn't know what was traded to secure her silence.

He is a man born into control,
raised where obedience is expected,
and resistance is corrected.

But she does not fear him.
She does not seek his approval.

And from that quiet indifference,
something begins to fracture.

An attraction that should not exist.
An obsession born from defiance without rebellion.
A balance of power slowly slipping out of control.

Some bonds are forged in the wrong place ,
and once formed,
they do not break cleanly.
