"I've purchased you, which only means one thing; I own you. I own every bit of you, Margarette. Your body, your heart, and even your soul. You are mine. And no one can take you away from me." Possessive, cold-hearted, and ruthless. That's Xavier Ivanov, a Russian Mafia boss or also known as the devil himself. He cares no one but himself. He kills people for money and satisfaction. He runs illegal businesses and is one of the most influential yet dangerous people in the world. People were afraid of him. They despise his existence.

No one owns her but him. Two people with different personalities, different worlds, and different stories to be told. Is it possible to find love amongst the odds? Does love know no boundaries? Or was it all just an illusion? When secrets begin unfolding themselves and then the past that was buried six feet below the ground resurface, will the love be strong enough to keep the two people together? Or will the past change what is present?

"You're an angel right?" I blurted out before I could stop myself. A deep chuckle left his lips. It sounded heavenly, making me internally swoon. God, can I please keep him till you need him again? You said we should ask and it shall be given unto us. Those were my thoughts. How I'd become godly in a second, I couldn't understand. "I'll be your angel." He replied confidently. ...and that was how I'd invited the devil into my life ___________________________ Kris Morgan was just a normal teenage girl living a normal life and at the same time trying to get over the death of her dad till Lucian Fox waltzed into her life.
