I stumbled over my own feet as he shoved me through the doorway, barely catching myself before I hit the polished marble floor. Gasping, I straightened up, eyes wide as they scanned the unfamiliar surroundings.

Or should I say—a mansion.

Everything about it screamed wealth, power… and danger.

I blinked rapidly, trying to push back the tears, smearing them away with my shoulder because my hands were bound tightly in front of me. The ropes bit into my skin, a cruel reminder that this wasn’t a nightmare.

It was my new reality.

“Welcome to my world, princess,” he said, voice like velvet over broken glass.

Lewis.

The name alone makes my stomach churn.

The man I once thought I loved. The one who walked into my life with a smile too perfect and eyes too deceptive. He wore sweetness like a mask, a disguise that crumbled the moment he had me.

At first, he was everything I ever wanted.

Until he became everything I feared.

He didn’t just hurt me—he broke me.

And just when I thought there was no way out of his twisted love, his brother appeared. Like a storm.

Like a promise.

I thought I saw a savior in him.

But I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The day I stepped into their house, I didn’t just lose my freedom.

I lost my dignity.

I never sought his attention. I never wanted his eyes on me. But he gave it anyway—unrelenting, consuming, obsessive.

He didn’t offer me freedom from Lewis.

He offered me a different kind of captivity.

One laced with soft touches and sharp edges. One that didn’t hurt my skin, but carved into my soul.

With Lewis, I lost my body.

With him, I lost everything.

He stole my sanity with his silence, my breath with his gaze, and my heart with his wickedness. I was a puppet tangled in the strings of two devils—one who broke me openly, and the other who worshipped my broken pieces like treasures he owned.

In trying to escape one prison…

I fell into another.

But this one has velvet chains and a master who whispers in the dark.

Now the only question left is:

Will he heal me…

or destroy what’s left of me?
