Summary

They say you should keep your enemies close. I kept mine inside me. Dr. Silas Vane is a monster in a three-piece suit. He’s the most brilliant mind in the university, and the most ruthless. He hates me because I’m the only one who isn't afraid of him. I hate him because he looks at me like I’m a crime scene he’s waiting to investigate. The hatred between us is a physical weight. It chokes the air in the room. When he argues with me, it’s like foreplay. When he humiliates me, my body betrays me. It was supposed to be just blackmail. A secret arrangement to keep my scholarship. But the lines blurred the moment he drew blood. Now, we are spiraling into a darkness that has no bottom. We are exploring gore, violence, and pleasure so intense it feels like dying. I have a chance at a normal life with a man who actually loves me. But how can I choose the light when the darkness feels so… good? He calls it "behavioral analysis." I call it soul-destroying obsession. Warning: Contains heavy gore, explicit BDSM, psychological warfare, and a love triangle that will break your heart. No cheating. No redemption. Just ruin.
