𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐊𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐥 believes in the light. Raised by her fiercely protective adoptive brother, the innocent and eternally optimistic Khem looks at the world through rose-tinted glasses. She believes in love, redemption, and the inherent goodness of people. But when she catches the eye of the city's most dangerous predator, her peaceful life is violently ripped away. Plucked from reality, she is locked inside a highly secure, gilded penthouse-a beautiful pink cloud that hides a terrifying, blood-soaked truth.
𝐑𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢 thrives in the dark. As the lethal, ruthless heir to the Akarachai mafia empire, his hands are permanently stained with blood. He is a monster bound by political warfare, a villain forged by a ruthless father, and a man who takes exactly what he wants. And what he wants is Khem. He brings her into his violent underworld, hiding his little butterfly away in a golden cage, obsessively protecting his fragile sanctuary from the empire that demands his soul.
To survive his world, the innocent girl must love the monster.
To keep her safe, the ruthless heir must become her entire universe.
She chooses to believe in the man behind the villain. But Khem doesn't know that loving a mafia prince comes with a deadly price tag. When rival families and his father's forced political engagements threaten to tear them apart, Asher will massacre anyone who dares to touch her.
He will burn down his own empire to protect her-even if he has to shatter her heart to do it.
