LOGINEthan 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.

What was the meaning of that ridiculous prank?"The visitors were Jake Hartmann, the son of Donald Hartmann, a prominent mogul in the oil and gas industry, and Milo Reed, a quieter man whose calm exterior masked a deeply playful personality.Damien was thoroughly annoyed that these two had completely derailed his afternoon plans with Ethan.Milo replied, leaning back and staring at Damien with an amused grin. "Chill out. We just wanted to surprise you. We’ve missed you, man. If I remember correctly, it’s been years since the three of us last hung out."Damien merely snorted in response and booted up his computer. Ready to bury himself in work and ignore them entirely, he decided that since they had ruined his time with Ethan, they didn't deserve a single second of his attention.Jake let out a dramatic huff. "So that's it
Ethan looked at Damien, a faint smile on his lips as the pieces finally came together. "Alright, so that's what this is all about. Well, we can go anywhere you want. After all, I'm the one taking you shopping." Damien turned to the front seat and gave a brief instruction to the driver. "Go to the Drain Mall." When the luxury vehicle pulled into the commercial district, the driver smoothly navigated into the VIP parking area. Ethan and Damien stepped out of the car and headed toward the main entrance. While they were walking, the bodyguard accompanying them hurried ahead to speak with the facility's administration. By the time Ethan and Damien reached the threshold, the entire shopping center had already been completely secured and emptied of the public. The guard returned to Damien’s side, bowing his head respectfully. "Boss, it's done." Damien gave a curt nod and gestured for Ethan to lead the way inside. As they crossed into the grand lobby, Ethan wasn't at all surprised to see

Ethan heard Stephen's voice behind him the very voice he had been trying to avoid.Then he turned back."I knew it!" Stephen exclaimed, his face lighting up with polished warmth. "I knew I’d recognize that golden hair anywhere."The hair again, Ethan thought bitterly. First thing tomorrow, I’m dyin
Damien got into the car, aware that Ethan was behind him. Earlier, he had spoken with Elijah and made it clear that Ethan was to be taken elsewhere after the press conference, Damien had other matters to attend to. When Elijah relayed this to Ethan, Damien caught the flicker of disappointment on hi
The interior of the SUV was a silent vault, but inside, Ethan was a storm. His palms were slick against the fabric of his school trousers, and his heart felt like a trapped bird beating against his ribs. He had been informed that he was going to the press conference."Don’t say anything irrational,
The car glided toward a towering structure of glass and chrome that seemed to pierce the very clouds.
