Trapped in a gilded cage. Bound by blackmail. Owned by her ruthless step-brother. For four months, Lorei has endured the suffocating obsession of Elias Walker, a dark tycoon who claims he’s keeping her safe while locking her in a world of toxic secrets and forced submission. She has only one reason to survive: uncover the truth behind her father’s tragic "accidental" death. When her first love, Fisher, returns with Swiss millions and an escape plan, Lorei seizes her chance at freedom.

Now, caught between a dark tycoon who refuses to let her go and the syndicate that destroyed her life, Lorei stops playing the victim. He stole her wedding. She’s going to steal his empire.

"It is over, Lorei."
Fisher did not look her in the eye when he said it. He stood near the doorway of her apartment, his posture rigid and his dark coat damp from the rain outside. "Over?" Lorei repeated. The word felt completely hollow, stripped of meaning. "Just like that? After three years?" "I cannot do this anymore," he said softly, keeping his face turned toward the corridor. "Do not search for me. Do not call me." "Give me a real reason, Fisher! You owe me at least that much!" Lorei stepped forward, her voice cracking as panic clawed at her chest. "Yesterday you told me you loved me. Today you walk in here and erase everything?" "I owe you nothing," Fisher snapped. His voice trembled for a fraction of a second before he slammed his emotions behind a wall of ice. "We are finished. Accept it and move on." "Fisher, please…" He pulled open the heavy wooden door, stepped out into the dimly lit hallway, and closed it firmly behind him. The lock clicked into place with a sharp, final sound that echoed through the quiet room. Two hours later, Lorei was still sitting on the cold hardwood floor, her knees pulled tight against her chest as she stared blankly at the front door. "Drink this right now," her best friend, Maya, commanded, shoving a small glass filled with clear alcohol into Lorei's hand. They were sitting in a plush leather booth inside Club Velvet, a premier, high-end lounge downtown. Pulsing purple lights swept across the crowded room, and heavy bass vibrated through the floorboards. "I cannot swallow anything," Lorei muttered, her eyes red and swollen. "My chest hurts too much." "Fisher is a absolute idiot," Maya said fiercely, slamming her own shot glass onto the table. "You are young, brilliant, and heartbroken. You are not going to sit in a dark apartment weeping over a coward who abandoned you without an explanation. Drink." Lorei stared down at the glass. "Alcohol will not fix this." "It will stop the noise in your head for a few hours," Maya insisted, gently nudging her elbow. "Down it." Lorei closed her eyes, threw her head back, and swallowed the liquid in one sharp gulp. The burning sensation hit her throat instantly, cutting through the dull numbness in her chest. "Another one," Lorei said, setting the glass down. "That is my girl," Maya said, filling the glass again. One shot turned into three, and three turned into six. Within an hour, the crushing weight in Lorei's chest dissolved into a thick, warm haze. The flashing neon lights blurred into vibrant streaks of gold and violet. Her limbs felt heavy, her thoughts loose and disjointed. "I am going to the bar to order another round," Maya shouted over the booming music, standing up from the booth. "Stay right here." "Okay," Lorei slurred, leaning her head against the cool leather backrest. Her vision swam as she looked around the room. Through the heavy fog of liquor, her gaze drifted toward the elevated VIP section across the club. A man sat alone on a high velvet couch. He wore a custom charcoal suit that clung perfectly to his broad shoulders. An expensive watch caught the ambient light as he lifted a glass of amber whiskey to his lips. His jawline was sharp, his dark hair combed back smoothly, and his intense dark eyes swept over the crowded room with absolute, quiet authority. Lorei blinked heavily, her mind struggling to process the sight. In her deeply intoxicated state, a single idea took root: ‘He is far too handsome to be a regular guest. He must be one of those luxury hosts the club hires to keep wealthy women entertained.’ Driven by a sudden, reckless surge of pain and spite, Lorei pushed herself off the bench. Her feet wobbled on the smooth floor, but she forced herself forward, navigating through the dancing crowd. She stumbled up the short flight of carpeted steps leading to the VIP area. Two massive men in black suits instantly stepped forward to block her path, but the handsome stranger casually raised two fingers, silently ordering his guards to stand down Lorei stumbled straight into his private space, halting right beside his knees. "How much?" she asked, swaying slightly as she stared down at him. The man paused, his glass halfway to his mouth. A sharp dark eye narrowed as he looked her up and down. "Pardon?" "How much do you cost for the night?" Lorei asked. Her voice was thick with alcohol and raw, unfiltered agony. "I want the most expensive host in this building. I want someone who can make me forget everything." A slow, dangerous curve formed at the corner of his lips. An aura of quiet dominance radiated from him, sending a sudden shiver through her blood. "You think I am a host?" he asked softly. His voice was a deep baritone that vibrated right through her chest. "Are you not?" She giggled weakly, reaching out to steady herself against his knee. "You look incredibly expensive." "I am exceptionally expensive," he murmured, his gaze locking onto hers with terrifying intensity. "Good," Lorei whispered, leaning closer. "Because I do not want cheap comfort tonight." Before he could respond, she leaned down, grabbed the lapels of his suit jacket with both hands, and pulled herself directly onto his lap. Elias Walker caught her waist instinctively. His grip was broad, heavy, and searingly hot through the thin fabric of her dress. Lorei did not give him time to speak. She tilted her chin up and slammed her mouth against his It was a reckless, desperate kiss, tasting of bitter tears and strong tequila. She poured all her humiliation, grief, and heartbreak into the contact, needing to feel anything other than the hollow pain inside her chest. For a fraction of a second, Elias froze. Then a low, dark sound escaped his chest. His large hand slid up to the back of her neck, locking her in place as he took total control of the kiss. He parted her lips with sudden, overwhelming possessiveness, deepening the kiss until her breath hitched violently in her throat. The heat between them ignited like raw fuel. When he finally pulled back, Lorei was gasping for air, her forehead resting weakly against his dark collarbone. She could hear his heartbeat underneath his shirt, steady, powerful, and fast. "What is your name?" Elias asked, his fingers tangling gently in her hair. "Does it matter?" she murmured, her heavy eyelids drooping shut. "Hosts are not supposed to ask for names." Elias stared down at her flushed face, his eyes gleaming with a dark, fixated intensity that she was far too intoxicated to understand. "You are right," he whispered against her ear, his hot breath brushing her skin. "It does not matter." He stood up smoothly, scooping her light body into his arms without effort. "Boss?" one of his bodyguards asked anxiously, stepping forward. "Clear the penthouse suite," Elias commanded coldly, his eyes never leaving the woman cradled in his arms. "And bring the car around back." The journey to the top floor of the Grand Imperial Hotel was a blurred haze of elevator bells, soft dim lighting, and the lingering scent of expensive cedarwood cologne. The moment the suite door clicked shut, Elias placed her onto the massive king-sized bed. The vast room was illuminated only by the faint lights of the city skyline glowing through the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Are you certain about this?" Elias asked, standing over her. His broad silhouette framed the city lights behind him. "Once you cross this line with me, there is no going back." "Just make me forget," Lorei whispered, reaching her arms up toward him. "Please." Elias leaned down, his lips claiming hers once more. The rest of the night dissolved into a tempest of velvet sheets, breathless gasps, and an overwhelming heat that completely burned away every memory of Fisher's cold betrayal. Hours later, in the quiet dark before dawn, Lorei lay fast asleep in the heavy silk sheets, completely unconscious from exhaustion and liquor. Elias stood near the glass window, dressed in dark trousers, watching her still figure. He picked up his phone from the nightstand, walked silently to the side of the bed, and snapped several clear photographs of her exposed shoulder and sleeping face tucked against his pillow. He looked down at the images on his screen, his thumb tracing her delicate profile. "You came to me on your own," Elias whispered into the empty room, a dark, possessive smile breaking across his face. "Now you belong to me.”Latest chapter

The smell of disinfectant hit Lorei the moment she pushed through the sliding glass doors of Saint Jude’s Emergency Ward.She spotted her mother sitting on a plastic chair in the hallway, weeping uncontrollably into her hands."Mom!" Lorei rushed forward, dropping to her knees in front of her mother and grabbing her cold hands. "Mom, where is he? Where is Dad?"Before Mrs. Lorei could answer, a doctor stepped out from behind the blue privacy curtains, his surgical mask hanging loosely around his neck. His face was grim."Mrs. Lorei? Ms. Lorei?" the doctor asked softly.Lorei stood up instantly. "How is my father? Can we see him?""I am deeply sorry," the doctor said, bowing his head. "Mr. Lorei sustained severe blunt-force trauma to his head and chest when his vehicle crashed. We performed emergency surgery, but his heart gave out ten minutes ago. He passed away.""No!" Mrs. Lorei shrieked, collapsing against the wall."No, no,

Dawn broke over the skyline, casting sharp golden rays through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel suite.Lorei opened her eyes, instantly hit by a blinding, throbbing pain behind her temples. She groaned softly, clutching her forehead as the room spun in dizzying circles."My head..." she whispered, her voice rasping.She tried to sit up, but the weight of heavy silk sheets pulled around her waist. She looked down and froze. She was completely bare beneath the blankets.Cold terror spiked through her veins, instantly washing away the haze of her hangover. Lorei turned her head slowly toward the other side of the massive king-sized bed.A man lay beside her, his broad back turned toward her. His dark, messy hair brushed the pillow, and a heavy white sheet was draped casually over his waist, exposing broad, muscular shoulders scarred with raw authority.Lorei pressed a trembling hand against her mouth to smother a gasp.‘What
