He didn't just buy my father's debt. He bought me.Kyros Vlastos.The name alone shakes the foundations of the shipping industry. He is the Wolf of the Aegean-ruthless, scarred, and wealthier than God. He is a man who doesn't ask; he takes.And now, he has taken my freedom.When my father embezzled fifty thousand pounds from the Vlastos empire, I walked into the devil's office to beg for mercy. I offered my skills as an artist to pay off the debt.Kyros didn't want my paintings.He wanted a wife.To secure a massive merger, he needs a respectable fiancée to clean up his savage reputation. I have no choice. To keep my father out of prison, I signed the contract.Six months.One private island.And a diamond ring that feels like a shackle.But the contract has a clause I didn't see coming. Kyros doesn't do fake.On his isolated island, the lines between business and pleasure blur. His touch isn't cold; it's scorching. His possessiveness isn't an act; it's a warning. He looks at me not like an asset, but like an obsession.I'm falling for the monster who owns me. But Kyros is hiding a secret darker than the debt that bound us. He didn't stumble upon me by accident. He's been watching me. Hunting me.And when I find out the truth, it won't just break my heart. It will shatter his empire.Tropes & Themes:
