Chapter 1
“You think you can hide from me, Lara? Run all you want, but I’ll always find you. You’re mine, whether you admit it or not. And when I finally have you... there will be no escaping me.” — Viktor
In a world where shadows conceal secrets and desire burns hotter than vengeance, Lara finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power and obsession. Fiercely independent, she never expected Viktor, the ruthless yet irresistibly alluring man who commands both fear and respect, to crash into her life. His presence ignites a fire within her, one she fights to control, but he’s determined to break down her walls, consuming her thoughts, and making her crave what she knows is forbidden.
Viktor is not just any man. Cold, calculating, and utterly intoxicating, he’s used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Lara, the woman who dares to defy him yet draws him in like a flame he cannot resist. Their connection is electric, filled with stolen glances, heated confrontations, and a passion neither can deny. He is determined to possess her, body and soul, but Lara refuses to be tamed no matter how strong his pull.

That quote from Viktor really sets the theme! I’d be scary if someone said that IRL! Yikes!
