The Devil's Plaything
She sold her soul for survival. Now she’s trapped in his inferno.
I was supposed to serve drinks at an exclusive masquerade.
I never planned to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
But the man who bought me?
He wasn’t wearing a mask.
He was the mask.
Lucian Devlin isn’t just any man. He’s dangerous, powerful, and terrifyingly beautiful. A billionaire with a taste for control and a past cloaked in darkness, Lucian didn’t want a woman, he wanted a possession. What Serena didn’t know was that the contract she signed bound her to him for thirty days. Thirty nights of submission, of twisted games and sinful pleasures. Thirty days of burning where escape is impossible and maybe, deep down, unwanted.
Serena needs the money. Her family is drowning, the rent is due, bills are piling, her mother dying, her siblings thrown out of school and barely surviving. But staying means risking everything: her body, her sanity, and her heart.
Lucian swore he'd never love again. That what he touches, he destroys. But the more he breaks her rules, the more she shatters his. And when obsession turns to something far more dangerous, walking away won’t be an option for either of them.
He warned her: she’d beg before this was over.
I swore I’d never be owned again.
But there’s something about being his plaything
that feels a lot like power.
A dangerous love story where surrender feels like sin... and salvation.
Rated 18+ | Explicit. Addictive. Emotionally brutal.

Chapter: Words We Never SaidChapter 13: Words We Never SaidThe air inside the coffee shop was warm, humming with low chatter and the occasional hiss of the espresso machine. It smelled like burnt sugar and cinnamon, just like it did years ago — when Serena and Marcus used to sneak in after school and split one drink to save money.Now they sat across from each other, older, heavier with things left unsaid.Serena stared into her untouched mug, fingers curled tightly around the porcelain. Marcus watched her, elbows resting on the table, his green eyes filled with quiet ache.“I wasn’t going to say anything,” he finally said, “but when I saw you standing at that park…”“You should’ve kept walking.”“Maybe,” he admitted. “But I couldn’t.”Serena looked up. “You left, Marcus. No goodbye. No letters. Just silence.”His jaw clenched. “You think I wanted that? You think I had a choice?”She raised a brow, but said nothing.“My parents found out. About us. They said I was throwing my future away on a girl with nothing

Chapter: Caught Between Two MenChapter 12: Caught Between Two MenSerena was restless.The mansion felt like a cage. Luxurious, cold, and too quiet. Mona had brought her food twice. She barely touched it. Hours dragged like chains and the walls began to close in.So when the sun dipped slightly and the air shifted, she slipped out. Quiet. Fast. Just to breathe.She didn’t think Lucian would notice.But he did.From the far window of the west corridor, Lucian stood in shadow, watching her dart between the hedges, her frame small against the stretch of green. His jaw clenched, but he didn’t move.Let her go.Let her think she had a choice.---Serena walked through the gates, breathing deeply for the first time in days. The city air was no cleaner, but it felt real. Familiar. It carried the dust and noise of life — a world she had almost forgotten.Her feet led her home. Not the house where Lucian kept her. Not the apartment Mr. Keller had cleared out. But the one she carried in her mind — full of noise, fights, chea

Chapter: Tamed By FearChapter 11: Tamed By FearLucian stood in the east wing’s study, back straight, hands clasped behind him, as the sound of heavy boots echoed from the hallway. He knew it was only a matter of time before she came back with questions.He welcomed them. Questions meant she still cared.But before he faced Serena, his mind wandered back sixteen days — the day he signed her life away and folded it into his.Sixteen Days AgoLucian had driven himself. No convoy. No driver. Just him in his sleek black Aston Martin, the leather interior silent and cool. He parked across from the run-down apartment building and took a long look.The home of the girl who sold herself to save her family.Mr. Keller was sitting on the front stoop, chewing something bitter and looking like he hadn’t slept.Lucian approached him slowly.“You’re Mr. Keller?”The man squinted up. “You’re not one of those damn court officials, are you?”Lucian ignored the hostility. “I’m here for Serena Vale’s family. I need the lease

Chapter: Home Isn't Where I Left ItChapter 10: Home Isn't Where I Left It The soreness still lingered in her limbs from the night before last, but it was nothing compared to the itch under her skin — the ache to see her family. She didn’t wait for breakfast. She dressed quickly in jeans, a simple blouse, and one of Lucian’s jackets that still smelled like him. As she tiptoed down the hall, Mona appeared from the kitchen doorway. “Miss Vale? Do you need something?” “I need to step out for a bit,” Serena said, rushing past her before Mona could stop her. Mona couldn't say anything, Her face was unreadable as always, but Serena didn’t miss the subtle tension in her posture. There was always a line that couldn’t be crossed and Serena was finally stepping over it. Outside, she called for a ride and gave the driver an address she hadn’t said aloud in weeks: her mother’s old apartment. The place she had left behind the night everything changed. The drive was silent. Her stomach twisted with guilt. She hadn’t c

Chapter: Don't Ever Say Her NameChapter 9: Don't Ever Say Her NameSerena POVThe morning sunlight bled through the heavy velvet curtains, a soft golden warmth spilling across the sheets. Serena stirred, her body aching with a soreness that made her wince. Every muscle felt tender, her thighs trembling when she shifted. The sheets were tangled around her legs like remnants of a storm. And it had been a storm — the night before still flickered behind her eyes in broken flashes. His hands. His mouth. That dizzying spiral of pleasure until she forgot her own name.She didn’t regret a second of it.She closed her eyes and let herself feel it , the sting, the heat, the bruised fullness between her thighs. Lucian had ruined her in the most addictive way.The door creaked open. Serena blinked against the light as Mona entered quietly, a small tray in her hands. Her eyes lingered on Serena for just a moment — not judgmental, but soft. Pitying.“You should rest, Miss Vale.”Serena tried to sit up and gasped. Mona rushed forw

Chapter: The Punishment She CravedChapter: The Punishment She Craved Rated 18When Lucian Devlin walked into the penthouse that night, the silence was thick with something he couldn’t name. Maybe it was rage. Maybe it was possession burning a hole through his chest. Or maybe, it was that image—the one he hadn’t been able to shake since the moment it happened.Serena.Kissing another man.Not just any man. The green-eyed stranger with the kind of face women remembered and men feared. Lucian had felt his entire being freeze in that moment. And then, it shattered.He hadn’t spoken a word on the drive home. Kael had tried to brief him on security details from the banquet, but Lucian had waved him off, barely holding himself together. The sound of Serena's laugh from earlier still clung to his skin like perfume. The memory of her body, of how it clung to his, burned through him.He didn’t knock.He walked straight into the bedroom where Mona had prepared her just as instructed: naked, waiting, head lowere
