Owned By Him

In the city where power tasted sweeter than love , women like Satine Vale were either worshipped or ruined.

At twenty-four , Satine had already learned how cruel the world could be.

She only finished high school. No college diploma. No rich family name to carry. No inheritance waiting for her. Just a beautiful face , a sharp tongue , and the kind of body that made luxury brands fight over her presence on the runaway.

People called her lucky.

But they never knew the price behind her diamonds.

For four years , Satine lived under the shadow of one man - Kael Verona.

A billionaire known for his cold charm , ruthless business empire and the dangerous silence in his eyes.

He gave her everything.

Penthouse.
Designer dresses.
Private vacations.
Black cards with no limits.

And in return?

He kept her.

Not as a girlfriend.
Not as someone he loved.

But as something prettier.

Something convenient.

A possession.

At first , she believed she was special. Kael was never sweet , but he was possessive in a ways that felt dangerously close to love. He hated seeing her with another men. He always held her waist like she belonged only to him.

So she stayed.

Even when people called her names , gold digger , mistress and a pretty toy that kept the man entertained.

Deep inside , she thought maybe , maybe Kael cared.

Until one night destroyed everything.
