Bound By The Living Yama
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.

There was a reason he was considered a ruthless businessman.His thoughts kept drifting toward the life he’d lost. He was in his final year of business school when his life took a dark turn.

He was desperate to know what was happening in the outside world was the media still dragging his name through the mud? Was his uncle throwing a victory party? But he had nothing.

Chapter: Kill OrderEthan was awake the next morning as Anna knocked on the door. He quickly sat up and Anna entered. She greeted him good morning and told him to come downstairs for breakfast; she added that if he couldn't walk, she'd be glad to assist him, but he politely declined, saying he felt better that Dr. Richard attended to his injuries yesterday.Anna said, "Oh, no problem, but make sure you come downstairs to eat."Anna left later. Ethan then lied down back, feeling the soft bed. He said, "This is better than being in the cold cell."He went to shower and freshened up. He limped as he went down; his injuries had just started healing, but they were not fully healed. He saw guards stationed in the living room, their expressions tense and cold; neither of them even looked at him. Anna saw him and said, "Come, come."Ethan got to the dining and sat down. He was surprised at the different delicacies of food there. Anna laughed seeing his expression. She said, "Eat up, child. The food is all yours.

Chapter: FreedomYou just made the right choice,” Damien said calmly.He walked toward Ethan and extended his hand.Ethan stared at it. His eyes lingered on Damien’s hand, hesitation filling him at first.Slowly, Ethan reached out. His hand was weak as he placed it in Damien’s whose grip was strong and without hesitation pulled him up.The moment Ethan stood, his legs trembled violently beneath him.

He staggered slightly, nearly collapsing, but Damien’s hand remained on him, holding him steady.Damien’s cold eyes scanned him briefly, observing his fragile state.

Embarrassment burned through him as he realized he was being carried.“W-what are you doing?” Ethan asked weakly, his voice fi

Chapter: HopeEthan froze, disbelief rendering him completely silent as his mind struggled to process what he had just heard. Had the living Yama truly asked him to marry him? The words felt impossible absurd and unreal like something his broken mind had invented to escape the pain. He stared at Damien desperately, waiting for him to correct himself, to reveal that it was nothing more than a cruel joke. But Damien said nothing. His expression remained calm, composed, and terrifyingly serious, offering Ethan no escape from the reality of what had just been said.And suddenly, Ethan laughed.The sound was weak and unsteady, bordering on hysteria, and the movement sent sharp pain shooting through his ribs. Still, he couldn’t stop. The absurdity of the situation overwhelmed him completely. This man the most feared businessman in the country, the living Yama himself was standing in front of him, proposing marriage as if it were nothing more than a simple transaction.“You…” Ethan breathed between broken

Chapter: Metropolis PrisonMetropolis Prison was the most dangerous prison in the country, a place where the most violent criminals were kept. Murderers, serial killers, and men whose names inspired fear lived within its walls. It was not a place meant for someone like Ethan Vale.Ethan lay on his bed or rather, what could barely be called a bed. It was only a thin mat infested with bugs that crawled freely across his weak body. His delicate skin had turned red from countless bites, irritated and swollen. If it had been his first day in this prison, Ethan would never have allowed himself to sleep on something like that. He had once been someone who lived in comfort, someone who valued cleanliness and dignity. But now, he was no longer the rich heir but a weak, exhausted, and broken prisoner.He no longer had the strength to care. So he lay there and slept, despite the discomfort.His prison mate, Dovan, sat nearby, watching him quietly. Dovan was a hardened man who had seen many criminals come and go, but Ethan
