Ingrid, the biological daughter of a high-class Las Vegas prostitute and an unidentified felon, was taken in by the esteemed and politically powerful Bishop family, despite the infamy surrounding her lineage. While her adoption provided her with stability and privilege, she grappled with assimilation, as the truth of her origins lingered as a whispered scandal within elite circles. For months, she was held in captivity—a pawn leveraged in the hopes of reviving the dwindling influence of her father’s political faction. Unbeknownst to her, the very syndicate responsible for her imprisonment was, in fact, her relatively same kin—a Grey. Among them was Jace—her known brother—whom she inadvertently fell in love with. Their relationship ignited public outrage, condemned as a textbook manifestation of Stockholm Syndrome. Yet the public remained blind to the deeper reality: a chilling embodiment of a morally ambiguous entanglement.

He fisted my hair as I gagged on his length, careful not to make a sound. We were in a renovated university classroom.
“What a good way to start your freshman year, princess,” Jaxon murmured, lifting my chin with a finger.
I rolled my eyes in disgust — and he thrusted harder in response. Typical fucking dickhead.
“Hey—” I gasped, trying to pull away. He slammed my head down with a full palm to the back of my skull, robbing me of breath.
I choked, shoved him off, and wheezed, “Fucking stop that.” My mind reeled.
I twisted my hand and grabbed his crotch—hard.
“Bitch—!” he yelped.
“Yes, I am,” I smirked, “and you’re not the only boy in town.”
I turned to leave, but he laughed, devilish and amused.
“You do know that turns me on, Bishop Princess?”
I slammed the door in his face. “You’re a masochist, Jaxon.”
Out in the hall, students bustled to their morning classes. I didn’t even know my schedule, but who gave a shit?
Skipping the first day wouldn’t kill anyone.
I passed by a full-length mirror in the lobby, posed like a Winx fairy, and smoothed out the wrinkles on my black-and-white checkered skirt — creased from that early morning blowjob. I brushed off my white cardigan, fixed the little black bows, and stepped closer to retouch my lipstick.
“Tada,” I said to myself, fluttering my lashes. My green eyes gleamed under the lights. Platinum blonde hair? Immaculate.
I didn’t look like a Bishop. Not with my ginger-brunette foster family. The most corrupt, narcissistic, power-hungry political clan in the city. The only good thing they ever did was adopt a pretty girl like me. I giggled at the irony.
Then the bell rang.
I wandered near the school’s trophy display. A crowd of freshmen rushed around me. I grinned, shoved the glass stand, and watched it shatter.
“Goddamn! That was a rare one! Move out of the way!” a security guard shouted, panicking. While he scrambled, I slipped out through the side exit.
“Inx!”
I froze. Rosetta Bledgers—my childhood best friend. She looked... different.
“Oh hey,” I stammered, backing toward the gate. “Long story short, I need to be somewhere. Let’s catch up soon?”
A hand grabbed my waist — and not in a romantic way. I hit the wooden doors behind me, hard.
Damon Chevre. Fucking perfect.
“Not so fast,” he said, brushing a strand of hair off my face. “And watch your head, honey.”
“That’s a late remark for my head, Dummy Damon. Fuck you.”
I’d hated him forever. His family was the Bishops’ political rival, and last year, they engaged us. Engaged. For Pete’s sake.
My head throbbed from the impact. Worse than Jaxon’s assault. What a kinky start to the day. I groaned.
“Ingrid—”
“Shut the fuck up. Let me go,” I snapped. “Just this once.” I locked eyes with his ocean-blue stare. “Please.”
He released me.
Like a stray cat breaking free, I ran. No pause. No breath. No goodbye.
“Ingrid, wait!” he shouted behind me. “We’re blockmates! Reach out tomorrow!”
I hopped into my Uber, ignoring him. I was so stupid to forget I was enrolled in Political Science — our families’ way of shaping us into their image.
Not me.
“Where to?” the driver asked.
“The City Club,” I replied.
A disguised entertainment joint. A lair of the Grey Society.
We drove past the town’s edge. I leaned back, earbuds in, blasting Life After Anger by Empathic — my anthem. I wasn’t the prim-and-proper university girl they wanted.
I was built for something... wilder.
We reached the haunting iron gates. Cold air hit my skin. Excitement buzzed through me like static. This place was chaos incarnate. Where I belonged.
Inside, the music switched to Criticize by Adelitas Way. Strange choice for clubbing. Must be some roleplay scene happening below. I smirked.
This club was as twisted as I was.
Red and purple lights pulsed. It was daylight outside, but in here, time was a myth. My people were nightcrawlers.
A man approached — red belt straps across his chest, shirtless, a living statue.
“Rick,” I whispered, teasing his ear.
He grinned. “Welcome home, Miss Grey.”
He led me upstairs. Blood-red walls welcomed me back. My sexy bunny costume waited, draped like a trophy.
I had a show tonight.
Dirty Thoughts by Chloe Adams echoed in my room.
They called me a hostess. But in this world, I was royalty — the only daughter of Alice and Dominic Grey. Legends of deviance.
I had spent years playing princess in that suffocating Bishop estate. But here? Here I ruled.
Rick moved closer, his hands at my waist. “Welcome to the Grey Society,” he said.
“Miss—” he hesitated.
I silenced him with a kiss — hungry, wild. A kiss drenched in bloodlust.
I’d just turned twenty. This empire is mine now.
He carried me through the halls, our lips fused. The music shifted to Sick by Adelitas Way — eerie how our DJ always knew the vibe.
We entered the designated room: red lights, a bathtub, toys lining the walls.
“What’s your kink?” he asked, casual as asking my favorite color.
I giggled. “Breathplay.”
His laugh was deep and lazy — made my legs weak. “Play with the devil, then.”
Everything was new to me... but it felt like home. Like I was built for this.
He ran the tub and grabbed my bunny fit. As I changed, he stood behind me, hands on my throat, watching me dress in the mirror — black thong, matching bra, glittering mask, and bunny ears.
Things escalated.
Fast.
I was underwater. Legs dangling over the edge of the tub. He was inside me — pounding, hard, unrelenting.
This was breathplay. Literal life and death.
I trembled as seconds passed. My lungs burned. He yanked me back up by the throat.
“Breathe, baby girl.”
“That’s just a warm-up,” he whispered. “Breathplay’s more than drowning. It’s water, smoke... or my seven-inch dick.”
He kissed my forehead.
“Even if I have to revive you every time... we’ll try them all.”
And he looked at me like I was the only sin that ever mattered.
Chapter 145JewelThe Bishops. The Greys. Two sides of the same twisted coin. Both families have caused me nothing but pain, nothing but suffering.For years, I felt like a pawn in their games, a prize to be won, a possession to be controlled. I was trapped, suffocated by their expectations, by their obsessions.Jace… God, Jace. His obsession nearly destroyed me. He saw me as something I wasn't, something I could never be. He trapped me in his fantasy world, refusing to see me for who I truly am.And the Greys… cold, distant, more concerned with appearances than genuine affection. They offered me a life of privilege, but at what cost? I was always an outsider, a reminder of their own failures.The Bishops weren't any better. Ruthless, ambitious, they saw me as a means to an end, a way to solidify their power. They offered me security, but it came with a price: my freedom.I was tired of being a victim. Tired of being controlled. Tired of being used.So I made a choice.I chose myself.
Chapter 144RickThe guilt eats at me, a constant, gnawing ache in my gut. Jace… what have we done to him?People think I'm a good friend, loyal to the end. Maybe I am. But sometimes, loyalty comes at a price.The Jewel Grey situation… God, what a mess that was. From the start, she wanted nothing to do with Jace. Hated him, even. Ever since he shot her, ever since he tried to control her every move. It was never romantic, never the Stockholm Syndrome bullshit the media tried to spin. Jewel loved him like a brother, maybe. But Jace… his obsession was a sickness.The worst moment was when Christopher shot her. That was real. We were leaving for Morocco, trying to get away from it all, and Chris panicked. He thought she was going to betray us. The bullet hit her square in the chest.That's when Jace broke. He was never the same after that. He convinced himself she was dead. Started seeing things, hearing things. The guilt twisted him, warped him.Then, somehow, he found her again. Ingrid
Chapter 143JaceJewel's alive. Ingrid is alive. But the way she looked at me… like I was a broken toy, a shattered mirror reflecting a reality she couldn't bear to see.Ever since the Greys adopted me, I knew I was different. A charity case, a project. They never treated me badly, not exactly. But there was always a distance, a subtle understanding that I wasn't truly one of them.And then Dominic took me. Ripped me away from the Greys, claiming some twisted loyalty to the Chevre bloodline. He told me I was a rejected son, cast aside because I was illegitimate, because I was… unhealthy. He never specified what that meant, what was wrong with me. Just that I was flawed, unworthy.He weaponized that rejection, molded me into a soldier, a zealot. He filled my head with righteous fury, with the promise of purpose. But underneath it all, the seed of doubt remained. Was I truly worthy of anything?And then there was Jewel. Ingrid. My stepsister. From the moment I saw her, I was captivated.
Chapter 142JaceThe adrenaline fades, leaving me shaking and breathless in the ruined room. The silence is deafening, broken only by my own ragged breathing.Then, the door creaks open.My heart leaps into my throat.Guarded. Two figures in white coats, their faces impassive, stand on either side of the doorway. And between them...My breath catches.Small. Petite. A figure I thought I'd lost forever.Green eyes. Shiny, familiar, piercing.My vision blurs. Is this real? Or is it just another hallucination, another cruel trick of my mind?But then, she speaks."Jace?"Her voice. Soft, hesitant, but undeniably her."Jewel?" I whisper, my voice hoarse, barely audible.She takes a step forward, her eyes searching mine."Jace, it's me," she says, her voice trembling. "It's really me."I stumble towards her, my legs shaky, my mind reeling. Is this possible? Can it be true?I reach out, my hand trembling, and gently touch her face. Her skin is warm, soft, real.Tears stream down my face."J
Chapter 141JaceThe line is gone. The line between what's real and what's not... it's completely dissolved. I'm adrift in a sea of confusion, unable to distinguish between my memories, my fears, and my hallucinations.Am I still in the motel? Or am I already in that padded room? Are those faces I see in the shadows real, or are they just figments of my imagination?I try to focus, to ground myself in the present, but it's no use. The world around me keeps shifting, morphing, becoming something unrecognizable.I look at my hands, studying the lines, the scars, the calluses. They seem familiar, yet foreign. Are these really my hands? Or are they the hands of someone else, someone I don't even know?I try to remember Jewel's face, the sound of her voice, the way she used to laugh. But the memories are fading, becoming distorted, like a photograph left out in the sun.Was she even real? Or was she just a figment of my imagination, a dream that I desperately wanted to believe in?I don't
Chapter 140JaceMy head is pounding, a relentless throbbing that echoes the turmoil in my soul. Dizzy. Everything is spinning, the grimy motel room, the weight of my failures, the memories that claw at me.My body aches. Not just from the cheap whiskey and the hard floor, but from the sheer exhaustion of existing. Every muscle screams in protest, a physical manifestation of the emotional pain I've been carrying for months.I try to sit up, but a wave of nausea washes over me, forcing me back down. The room swims, the shadows dance, and I close my eyes, desperately seeking some kind of relief.It's like I'm trapped in a nightmare, a never-ending cycle of grief and regret. Every time I try to escape, I'm pulled back down, dragged under by the weight of my past.I can feel my body shutting down, giving up. The will to fight, to survive, has been eroded by the relentless pain. I'm just... tired. So tired.Maybe this is it. Maybe this is how it ends. Alone, in a cheap motel room, surround
