Ethan Vale was the golden heir to a fortune, a boy who had everything until his own blood turned against him. Framed for the brutal murder of his parents by his uncle and brother, Ethan was cast into the depths of Metropolis Prison to rot. Beaten, starved, and forgotten, he waited for a death that wouldn't come.
Then, the shadows parted.
Enter Damien Blackwood. Known in the underworld and the boardroom as the "Living Yama," Damien is a billionaire whose mercy is non-existent and whose power is absolute. He walks into Ethan’s cell with a contract that defies logic:
"Marry me, and I will give you the heads of those who destroyed you."
Ethan isn't gay, and he doesn't trust the monster standing before him. But with a death sentence hanging over his head and a burning thirst for revenge, he signs his soul away.
What starts as a cold, business transaction between a broken prisoner and a heartless tyrant soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Ethan is transformed from a "prison rat" into the pampered, untouchable spouse of the Living Yama, the lines between hatred and obsession begin to blur.
Damien promised to help Ethan destroy the Hales, but Ethan is beginning to realize that the most dangerous place in the world isn't a prison cell it’s in the arms of the man who owns him.

Chapter: it's DamienEthan and Kristen soon arrived at the venue, which was the prestigious Banks Hotel where the birthday celebration was being hosted. All sorts of luxurious sports cars and limousines were parked outside. Because they had arrived late, Kristen had to park their car a bit far from the main entrance, as the front lot was entirely full.As they were led toward the entrance, they were greeted by a massive crowd of reporters flashing cameras and holding microphones. If it hadn't been for the hotel bodyguards guiding them through, they wouldn't have been able to push past the media wall.Once they finally made it inside the lobby, Kristen let out a breath and adjusted his white suit jacket. "I have a feeling this party is going to be crazy," he sighed, looking around the beautifully decorated hotel interior. "Wow, they really went all out for the old man, didn't they?" He clapped a hand onto Ethan's shoulder.Ethan, meanwhile, had been a nervous wreck since the moment they pulled up. His mind

Chapter: ChaosEthan was completely distracted as Kristen kept talking to him about the dress code for Anastasia's grandfather's birthday party. "Why do you think they picked white for the theme? Isn't that a little weird for a birthday?"Ethan just nodded his head absentmindedly, his eyes glued to his phone screen. "Yeah, yeah."Kristen finished buttoning up his suit jacket and snorted, realizing that Ethan hadn't heard a single word he had said. Testing him, Kristen asked, "And you're a total fool, right?"Ethan nodded once again without looking up. "Yeah."At that point, Kristen knew his friend was completely checked out. He gave Ethan a light push, shouting, "Ethan!"Ethan jumped in surprise, dropping his phone onto his lap. "Bro, what the hell?"Kristen shook his head in disappointment. "Are you serious right now? You haven't heard a single thing I've said."Ethan didn't answer. Instead, he finally looked up at Kristen's suit.Ethan paused, shifting uncomfortably. "Of... course I heard you," he l

Chapter: I'll Go With Her To The PartyDamien’s expression darkened, and he looked at Ethan with total disgust .He pointed a finger at him. "So, you know about it?"Ethan raised an eyebrow, completely confused. "Knew about what? Look, I know it seems a bit absurd that I'm asking you for this, but she needs a date really badly. Just let me explain first before you decide."Damien stared at Ethan's pleading expression. He forced himself to calm down, leaning back into his leather chair. "Okay. Explain."Ethan was surprised Damien was actually willing to listen, but he knew he couldn't waste his luck. He cleared his throat and began. "So... Anastasia's grandfather is pressuring her to bring a suitor to his party."Damien cut in, his voice laced with annoyance. "And how is that my business?"Ethan sighed. "Just wait, I'm getting to that part."Damien kept his eyes fixed on Ethan. He thought he knew exactly where this story was heading, and he felt certain that Ethan had been deceived by his friends yet again.Ethan continued,

Chapter: Go On A Date With AnastasiaEthan stared at Damien, taking in his appearance. His eyes lingered on Damien's well-defined face before settling on the beard he had grown. It looked strange to Ethan because he had never seen Damien with a beard before. Still, he couldn't deny that it made him look even more attractive. The beard gave him a more mature look, making Ethan blush just by looking at him.Damien, on the other hand, couldn't hide his surprise at seeing Ethan standing in his office. He quietly watched as Ethan's eyes wandered over him.When he noticed that Ethan had no intention of speaking or looking away, Damien cleared his throat."Ahem."Ethan immediately snapped out of his thoughts. Realizing he had been staring at Damien for far too long, he quickly looked away in embarrassment."I'm sorry. I zoned out for a moment."Inside, however, he wanted to slap himself.Yeah, right. You zoned out because of his handsome face, he thought. He had no idea how Damien had become even more charming. He looked so att

Chapter: Damien It's MeEthan took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. It's just a passcode, right? No need to panic. He glanced back to see if the receptionist was still waiting. She was. When they made eye contact, he offered her another small smile, which she quickly returned.As he turned back to the keypad, he didn't notice the faint blush on her cheeks. She had been admiring him from the moment he walked in. Staring at his back, she couldn't help but wonder how he had managed to charm their notoriously cold boss. Even after seeing the press conference video, she hadn't believed the negative rumors for a second. She just had a gut feeling that there was still something deep between them.Looking at Ethan's broad shoulders and his neatly styled blonde hair, she thought dreamily, He's so handsome. I really don't blame the boss at all.Her starry-eyed admiration was a complete contrast to what Ethan was actually feeling. He was practically begging her to leave in his head. Why is she still stan

Chapter: Don't Call ElijahEthan stood there in silence as the reality of what he had just promised dawned on him. He face-palmed in frustration. "Why did I say yes? How on earth am I going to convince Damien now?"He sat down, letting out a long sigh, but then he shook his head. "No, I have to do this for Anna. She has done too much for me to just ignore her when she needs help."Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, he stood up and walked into the guest room he had been staying in. He put on a pair of jeans and a clean top. He also took the time to trim his overgrown beard. He wasn't entirely sure why he was suddenly caring so much about his appearance, but deep down, he wanted to look good for Damien. He didn't want Damien to think his life had become a complete mess since their fallout.Once he was ready, he walked out of the house and hailed a cab.As he arrived at the company, Ethan felt a wave of anxiety wash over him. Walking into the reception area, he couldn't help but feel incredibly nervous. He vi
