Power is his game. Survival is hers. Desire is their weakness.

In my world, timing is everything. Strike too late, and companies bleed millions. Strike too soon, and you lose the deal. When it came to him, I hesitated. I should have killed him when I had the chance. Instead, I ran. I almost made it out—almost believed I could disappear for good. But men like him don’t lose. They hunt. They track. And they always collect what’s theirs.

Now I’m trapped in his multi-million dollar penthouse, high above the city, with a man who watches me like I’m already owned. Every glance is a promise. Every touch, a test of control. He thinks he’s breaking me. I let him think it. Because playing along is the only way to stay alive… even as the tension between us turns sharp, addictive, impossible to ignore.

He doesn’t know I’m still fighting. He doesn’t know I’m waiting. And when the moment comes, I won’t run again. This time, I’ll bring him to his knees.
