I WAS SOLD TO CLEAR A DEBT. NOW, I BELONG TO HIM.
My brother signed the contract. He traded my life for fifty million dollars to wipe his ledger clean. I thought I was being sold to a monster, but I was bought by a ghost.
Oren Graves.
He is a shadow in a bespoke suit. A ruthless billionaire who deals in distressed assets and broken companies. And now, he owns me.
He didn't take me to a dungeon. He took me to Blackwood Manor-a fortress of stone and glass isolated on the storm-lashed Isle of Skye. He feeds me. He clothes me in silk. He heals the wounds my family left behind.
But he locks the door at night.
He calls me his Asset. He tells me I am an investment he intends to protect. He demands total obedience, stripping away my choices until the only thing left is his voice in the dark.
I want to hate him. I want to run. But when the real monsters come knocking-the ones who climb the cliffs and slaughter the guards-Oren stands between me and the abyss.
He says he's conditioning me for a transfer. He says he's fattening me up for a sale. But the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm sleeping isn't business. It's obsession.
We are playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse in a house of secrets. But I am not just an asset anymore. And if he thinks he can sell me when he's done, he's about to learn that some debts can only be paid in blood.
The contract is signed. The cage is locked. But who is really the prisoner?
