In the shadows of captivity, desire is the most dangerous weapon of all
I woke up in a nightmare-a place where survival came at a cost. They demanded everything: my will, my body, my soul. Pain became my constant companion, and with it, acceptance. My captor-now my master-was the only thing keeping me alive, his brutal protection my only shield from a world gone mad.
I watched him spill blood in my name, nursed my wounds at his hands. But trust is a fragile thing, and betrayal was waiting in the shadows. The truth was clear: the only way out was to destroy them all or die trying. My captor, my protector, my downfall-he's the key to my salvation... or my ultimate ruin.
In this twisted dance of power, fear, and forbidden desire, there's no turning back. And I'm not sure I even want to.
