He gave her a choice. Obey him -- or lose everything.

After her mother's death, Christelle DeMelo's life shattered. Dropping out of school to care for her infant brother, desperation forced her into the home of Alexei Petrov -- a man the world sees as a ruthless businessman, but Christelle knows better. Beneath the sharp suits and cold stares hides the monster who now holds their survival in his hands.

Alexei intended to break her slowly. To possess her completely. But the moment she appeared at his door bruised and trembling, his patience snapped.

He offered her a deal she couldn't refuse.
Now, her freedom is a distant memory.
And her obedience?
That's the price she'll pay.
