THE MASTER'S OBSESSION

Aldrin Severino, 30, is a ruthless, arrogant, dominant man with mafia connections through his brother. He is feared by many and accustomed to getting whatever he wants. But everything changes when he attends an underground auction and sees Cassiopeia Garcia. Cassiopeia, 18 was kidnapped by a syndicate and forced into the auction.
