THE BREAKING POINT

​"For ten years, I called him a monster. I didn't know he was the only thing standing between me and the devils who created him."

​At eight years old, my world was painted in blood. A ruthless mafia don shattered my family over an unpaid debt, leaving me at the mercy of his cruel empire. I should have died that night. Instead, the don't stoic, eighteen-year-old son, FELIX VANCE, stepped out of the shadows. With cold calculation, he claimed me as his family's property-sentencing me to a life as a servant in his fortress.

​For a decade, I hated him. I watched him grow from a detached boy into a ruthless predator, eventually taking his father's blood-soaked throne. To me, he was the ultimate villain. The man who wore a mask of venom. Every bitter look, every sharp word I threw at him was meant to wound.
​Then, the old king died.
​I expected execution. Instead, the new Mafia Don handed me my freedom papers and told me to run.
​But ten years of pent-up rage cannot be erased with a signature. When I demanded answers, the mask finally shattered. In a single, explosive moment of raw fury and possessive hunger, the brutal truth was laid bare: Every cold word, every scars on his back, and every bargain he made with the devil was done solely to keep me breathing.

​Now, the lines between captor and savior are completely blurred. The hatred that fueled me for a decade has turned into a consuming, forbidden flame. But in his world, love is a liability, and a king's obsession comes with a deadly price.
​I thought escaping the cage was hard. Surviving his touch-and the empire aiming for my back-will be impossible
