After years of chaos and war, Lia’s name rose in a world that had never expected someone like her. She had started as a little girl with nothing, slowly building influence in a merciless world step by step until her empire became a power feared by everyone. Yet behind her rise stood a man. A mysterious man who had entered her life during childhood, opening doors for her, teaching her how to survive, control people, and make the world bow before her without noticing. He never asked for anything in return, at least not in the beginning. Silently, he watched her grow. From the shadows, he removed everyone standing in her way and gave her the power needed to reach the top. Then, when Lia turned fifteen, he disappeared without warning, leaving her to finish the journey alone. For years, Lia believed she was finally free. She thought the man who had shaped half her life was gone forever. But when she finally came of age and stood as the complete ruler of her empire, he returned. Not as a mentor, but as a man who wanted her for himself. Max asked for her hand in marriage as though the answer had already been decided, as though every year spent shaping her had only prepared her for this moment. And on their first night together, inside a luxurious room carrying the sweet scent of candy, he whispered in the deep voice Lia had always loved: “My little girl… you still don’t realize how much you-belong to me. I watched you grow up in my hands year after-year, so never expect me to quietly watch another man stand beside you. You are mine, Lia, and that truth will never change, no matter how the world tries denying it forever.”

Anger flickered in her-eyes. In desperation, she bit his hand and pushed him away. “Get away-from me…” Her defiance only fueled his delight. She retreated, tears falling. He smiled faintly, as if losing his mind. “A child… isn’t that what you used to dream of?” He drew closer, voice calm. Iris trembled, turning away. “Tell me again… and I will make it happen… just stay with me.” He silenced her. She could not speak, trapped between fear and confusion. His presence filled every corner of the room, leaving no space for her thoughts. Iris lowered her gaze, struggling to breathe calmly, realizing that every refusal only tightened his hold.
