BOUND BY ENMITY

the lacson family and amara's family have been bitter enemies for decades. their feud is built on hatred, secrets, and revenge-and everyone knew better than to cross the line.

until lacson did.

lacson is five years older than amara. he is cold, dangerous, and used to getting whatever he wants. his original plan was simple: ruin her family completely. but everything changed when he met amara, the youngest daughter. she was kept away from the family's dark world, but she is far stronger than he expected.

what started as a cruel plan to break her quickly turns into a dangerous obsession. lacson doesn't just want to destroy her life-he wants her all to himself. caught in his dark world and tied to him by secrets, amara is trapped between pure hatred and a pull she can't seem to fight.

"you look at me like you want to kill me, amara," lacson said softly, his hand gripping her chin to force her to look at him.

"i do," amara whispered, her voice shaking even though she tried to stay strong. "if i had a knife right now, i would."

a slow, dark smile spread across his face as he leaned in closer. "then try it. but don't forget... as long as you're alive, you're mine."
