Ayana Stories
"I didn’t buy your freedom to love you, Elena. I bought you to own you. And in this house, you obey me."
Elena Ross was supposed to marry the man of her dreams. Instead, to pay off her family’s catastrophic debts, she was sold to the cold, ruthless, and devastatingly handsome billionaire—Adrian Vance.
Adrian is a man built of shadows, secrets, and an unforgiving heart. He rules the corporate world with an iron fist, and he wants Elena for one reason: revenge against her father, the man who ruined his past. To Adrian, Elena is just a beautiful pawn in his high-stakes game. A contract signed in gold, binding her to his bed and his house for one year.
But behind closed doors, the hatred between them burns hotter than any fire.
Elena promises herself she will never surrender to her captor husband. She will endure his cold stares, his arrogant demands, and the agonizing tension of sharing his space. But Adrian’s dark charisma is a dangerous trap. Every command he whispers, every possessive touch in the dark, and every glance of his smoldering silver eyes chips away at her defenses.
When a dark secret from Adrian’s past resurfaces, threatening to tear their forced world apart, Elena must decide: is she his prisoner, or has she fallen in love with the monster who holds her key?
He bought her for revenge. But he will burn the world to keep her.
