Summary

A new beginning, that’s all I ever wanted. A quiet life, far away from blood, power, and shadows. But peace is a luxury the ghosts of my past never allowed me to have. I wanted to forget the scars, the voices, the guilt that had carved themselves into my skin. But instead of freedom, I found him. A man who steals a little more of me every time his eyes find mine. A man who is both poison and cure. And as he sets my world on fire, I can’t help but wonder...will I survive him

Foreword

Dear Dark Romance Girls 🖤

This is the first book I’ve ever published. A piece of heart, chaos, and a little bit of madness woven between the lines.

I hesitated for a long time. Too many voices in my head, too many doubts in my heart. But now it’s here. Raw. Untamed. Real.

I’m grateful for every feedback, every honest opinion, and every thought that helps me grow.

Since this is the first of three volumes and not yet complete, I’ll keep making adjustments as the story evolves. Depending on life and chaos, new chapters might take some time to appear.

I share updates about uploads and writing progress on Instagram and TikTok, so feel free to follow along if you want to walk this path with me.

Please have a little patience with my spelling, sometimes my words move faster than my mind. 😉 But you’re always welcome to point out mistakes; I truly appreciate it.

The English translations of my chapters were created with the support of AI ChatGPT, so that I can share my stories with international readers as well. Each passage is carefully revised by me to make sure it carries the same heartbeat as the original.

And please remember:All rights belong to me. Copying or redistributing any part of this story is forbidden - and trust me, Enzo wouldn’t allow it either.


Trigger Warning

This book contains topics that may be triggering or distressing for some readers, including:

abduction, physical and psychological violence, sexual assault, torture, blood, mutilation, gaslighting, manipulation, coercion, and explicit scenes.

Please read with care and take good care of yourself.

This story does not romanticize abuse or violence. The relationship portrayed here is toxic, possessive and has nothing to do with real love.

It explores power, control, and the scars left behind when pain and longing start to blur together. This book isn’t about how love heals - it’s about what it destroys when it falls into the wrong hands.



This is your last warning. Every page after this belongs to Enzo. He will test you, tempt you, break you - and maybe, if you’re brave enough, heal a small part of you too.

If you feel even the slightest hesitation… leave. Click away. Protect yourself. There are plenty of wonderful stories out there that won’t hurt you.

But if you choose to stay - if you can stand tall for your own sanity, don’t complain when Enzo throws away the key to your cage.

From that moment on, your soul belongs to him. And you’ll be just as trapped as I am.
