The idea of it sickened me.Sabrina wasn’t an enemy to be crushed under my heel.She wasn’t a threat.She had trusted me, had let me in in a way no one ever had before.I wasn’t sure why, but that trust felt different.It felt fragile, but it also felt like a weight I couldn’t carry if I let her slip through my fingers.And yet, the darker part of me wanted more.I wanted her complete submission, but not in the way I had taken from the others.This was something different.This was about control, about power, yes—but it was also about caring for her in a way I had never cared for anyone.And that scared the hell out of me.I looked down at her, watching her sleep so peacefully beside me, and the tension in my chest tightened.I didn’t want to hurt her.But there was a hunger inside me I couldn’t ignore.And that hunger was growing stronger with each passing second.Sabrina didn’t know the depths of the darkness I carried, didn’t know what I had done to survive, to make sure that no on

Approval?Love?No.She wanted confirmation that she wasn’t alone in the abyss.“You did well,” I told her, wiping the blood from her cheek with my thumb. “You’re everything I’ve ever wanted.”My whole life, I’d never cared about women.But she was stirring up deep emotions within me I didn’t even know existed.It wasn’t a lie.6SABRINAThe days blurred together in a haze of violence and whispers.Viktor’s empire was vast, and he made sure I knew every dark corner of it.He showed me how to negotiate with fear, how to turn a threat into a weapon.“You’re too soft,” he told me once, his voice like a razor slicing through the fog in my head. “Hesitation is a weakness. If you hesitate, you die.”I didn’t hesitate anymore.The first few times, I convinced myself it was survival.Viktor had saved me, pulled me from the wreckage of my old life.I owed him.But the truth was simpler and far more terrifying: I liked it.I liked the power, the way people’s eyes widened in fear when they saw m

Viktor’s world was one of endless violence, a machine that thrived on manipulation, greed, and fear.And now, I was a cog in that machine.The people in Viktor’s orbit saw me differently now.I wasn’t just his toy or his pawn—I was his partner.They feared me, respected me, hated me.The shift in their eyes was intoxicating at first, a drug that filled the hollow spaces inside me.But it didn’t last.Late at night, when the house was quiet, and Viktor’s breathing was steady beside me, I wondered how much of myself I had lost.Each act of violence chipped away at the person I had been.I wasn’t sure if that person even existed anymore.I told myself it was survival.Viktor had saved me, hadn’t he?He had taken me in, given me power, protection.But as his empire grew, so did the darkness inside me, a chasm that threatened to swallow me whole.11VIKTORPower demands sacrifice.I learned that lesson early, long before Sabrina stumbled into my life.The empire I had built was a testament

She nodded, but the hesitation was there, a flicker of resistance I couldn’t ignore.“You’ve given up so much,” I continued, my thumb tracing circles on her wrist. “But there’s still more to lose. Are you ready for that?”Her eyes met mine, and for a moment, I thought she might crumble.But she didn’t.“Yes,” she said, her voice steady. “I’m ready.”It was a lie, of course.But lies were the foundation of our empire.16SABRINAThe price of power wasn’t just blood.It was everything.My morality, my identity, my soul—all of it had been stripped away, piece by piece.And yet, I couldn’t leave.I didn’t know how.Viktor had become my anchor, the only constant in a world of chaos.I hated him for it, but I needed him.I wondered if he felt the same.17VIKTORShe was mine, completely and utterly.But I knew the truth.No matter how tightly I held her, no matter how deeply I pulled her into my darkness, there was always the risk that she would break free.And if she did…I would destroy h

I wasn’t sure who I was without him.21VIKTORShe tested me in ways the others never did.Sabrina wasn’t just a pawn; she was a queen, a piece that could turn the tide of the entire game.But queens were dangerous.They could betray you if you weren’t careful.I kept her close, always watching, always calculating.She thought she had choices, that she could leave if she wanted to.It was almost endearing.She didn’t understand yet that she was mine, in every way that mattered.Sometimes, I wondered if I had underestimated her.There was a fire in her that refused to be extinguished, no matter how much I tried to smother it.It was both her greatest strength and her greatest weakness.I would keep her by my side for as long as she was useful.And when the time came, if she became a liability, I would do what needed to be done.22SABRINAI loved him.Or maybe I hated him.The line between the two had become so blurred that I couldn’t tell the difference anymore.He had given me everyt

At first, I told myself it was innocent curiosity.I wasn’t looking for anything specific.I just wanted to understand him, to find some piece of him he hadn’t chosen to show me.But as my fingers grazed over the surface of the desk, as I opened the first drawer and began sifting through its contents, I realized it wasn’t curiosity driving me.It was suspicion.The first few drawers held nothing of note: pens, notebooks, a set of keys.I moved to the filing cabinet next, the faint metallic click of the handle echoing in the stillness.My pulse quickened as I pulled out the first folder, then the second.Each one was filled with innocuous documents—contracts, financial records, things I couldn’t make sense of even if I tried.I almost gave up.Almost.Then I saw it.A plain manila folder, buried at the bottom of a drawer, so unassuming it might have gone unnoticed if I hadn’t been searching so carefully.I hesitated, my fingers hovering over it.Something about the way it was tucked aw

“And weakness has no place in my world. You knew that when you chose to stay.”Her eyes narrowed, tears glistening but refusing to fall.“I didn’t choose this,” she whispered.“Yes, you did,” I countered, stepping closer. “Every time you turned a blind eye, every time you followed my orders, you chose this. You chose me.”30SABRINAHis words hit me like a physical blow, knocking the air from my lungs.I wanted to scream, to fight, to run—but I was rooted in place, paralyzed by the horrifying truth he’d laid bare.He was right.Every time I’d ignored the warning signs, every time I’d justified his actions or told myself I could change him, I’d taken one step closer to this moment.I’d chosen him.And now, there was no going back.“I loved you,” I said, the words tasting bitter on my tongue.“And I’ve kept you alive,” he replied, his tone devoid of emotion. “That’s more than anyone else has ever gotten from me.”31VIKTORLove.The word hung between us, fragile and meaningless.She wan

For the first time, I didn’t see the man I had fallen for.I saw the predator.The manipulator.The monster.His face was unreadable, but his eyes flickered—just for a moment.“You don’t understand what you’re talking about.”“I understand perfectly,” I spat. “You used me. Like you used them. You made me believe I was special, that I meant something to you. But I was just another pawn in your game, wasn’t I?”His silence was answer enough.34VIKTORShe was spiraling, unraveling before my eyes.I could see it in the way her hands clenched the edge of the desk, her knuckles white.The way her breathing quickened, shallow and erratic.I had anticipated this moment.Planned for it.But seeing her like this—so raw, so fractured—stirred something in me I didn’t recognize.“Sabrina,” I said, stepping closer. “You’re overthinking this. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Her laugh was sharp, cutting through the air like a blade.“You’re unbelievable. Even now, you think you ca

All I saw was someone else.A stranger.The makeup was perfect, every stroke calculated to enhance my beauty and hide the shadows under my eyes.My hair was styled the way Viktor liked it, soft waves framing my face like a picture he had painted.The dress I wore was his favorite shade of red, a color that screamed power and danger.I touched my cheek, the coldness of my fingers startling against my skin.I wanted to feel alive.To feel something.But even the sting of my nails dragging across my flesh wasn’t enough.A knock at the door broke the silence, and his voice followed, calm and commanding.“Sabrina, it’s time.”Time for what?To play the role he had carved out for me?To stand beside him as his masterpiece, his perfect weapon?I didn’t answer.I didn’t trust my voice not to crack.When I opened the door, he smiled, but it wasn’t a smile that belonged to someone human.It was a smile of possession.“You look stunning,” he said, his eyes raking over me. “They won’t know what h

39VIKTORShe was unraveling again.I could see it in the way she avoided my gaze, the way her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.But I wasn’t worried.I had broken her before, and I could do it again.This wasn’t love—what we had.Love was weak, a fleeting emotion that crumbled under pressure.What we had was power.Control.And she was mine, body and soul.I leaned in close, my lips brushing against her ear.“Don’t forget who you are, Sabrina.”Her eyes met mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw defiance.But it was gone as quickly as it had appeared, replaced by the same vacant expression I had come to expect.“Of course not,” she whispered.I smiled, satisfied.40SABRINAThat night, as I lay beside him in the dark, I stared at the ceiling and tried to remember my name.Not the one he called me.Not the version of myself he had created.But the real one.My real name before my fake identity of Sabrina, before the mission.The one I had lost somewhere along the way.But no matter
