Torin, the battle-hardened ruler dreaded across the nine realms, was never destined for a crown. He claimed it through bloodshed and silence, building his dominion upon the broken remnants of fallen thrones. Amid the smoldering ruins of his greatest conquest, King Torin took a captive, the final heir of the shattered Kingdom of Aethel. A youth, striking in beauty and unyielding in pride even in chains. Torin should have ended his life, yet instead he spared him, bewitched from the very first glance. What began as a trophy of triumph grew into something far more perilous. Torin discovers himself ensnared by feelings he dares not speak. But he was not alone. His own son, too, became ensnared, bound by the same forbidden desire. Within the silent, gilded corridors of a newborn empire, Torin discovered that kingdoms are not only conquered by the sword but also held together by sacrifice. Driven by a haunting prophecy, he summoned every supernatural force across the eight realms, bending them to his command. His determination to defy the fate foretold made him formidable, almost unstoppable. Secrets long buried clawed their way back to the surface, threatening to unravel everything he had forged. Yet the question lingers: will his ultimate design be enough to silence the vision of a coming nightmare?

✦PROLOGUE✦

I wandered through the museum of Vanilor, my footsteps echoing across the polished marble floors. My eyes were drawn to a statue that seemed almost alive in its stillness. It was a towering figure carved with fierce precision. Torin. I had heard whispers of him across the realms. Seeing him here, immortalized in stone, stirred something deep inside me.

I turned to the guide walking beside me, curiosity lifting my voice into a question I had not expected to ask.

"Who was he?"

The man's eyes flicked to the statue, reverence and caution crossing his face. Then he spoke, his voice low and deliberate as if the story itself demanded respect.

"Torin," he said, "the battle-hardened ruler, feared across nine realms, was never meant to sit on a throne. He claimed Vanilor through blood and silence, building his dominion from the ruins of fallen kingdoms."

My chest tightened as I listened.

"Amid the smoldering remains of his greatest conquest," the guide continued, "Torin captured the last heir of the shattered Kingdom of Aethel. The boy was of remarkable beauty and unbroken pride even in chains. Torin should have ended him, but he did not. Something about that first glance held him, though he would never admit it."

I swallowed hard. The story was not just of war but of desire, danger, and obsession. I studied the statue closely, searching for secrets hidden in the stone.

"What happened next?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, my eyes fixed on the figure before me.

The guide leaned closer, as if the walls themselves might betray him. "What began as a trophy grew into something far more perilous. Torin found himself ensnared by feelings he dared not voice. Even those closest to him could not resist the pull of forbidden desire."

I could not look away. His voice painted vivid pictures in my mind.

"Powers bent to one man's will, and secrets threatened to destroy everything he had built."

I asked the question that had been burning at the edges of my thoughts.

"How did it all begin?"

The guide's gaze softened. He spoke as if recounting an ancient legend.

"Centuries ago, when peace still whispered through the wind and the world was young, Torin ruled the realm of Vanilor, one among the nine. He was as ruthless as he was ambitious, driven by an insatiable hunger for power. As a youth, he discovered a book that haunted his dreams as he grew. In his final dream, a cloaked figure with flowing gray hair appeared and said, 'To prevent this nightmare from unfolding, the nine bearers must be brought across the night realms and the boy must be stopped.'

"Driven by those words, Torin gathered the bearers, securing some through allegiance and forcing the rest into submission by war. Aethel, next in line, chose the path of resistance and accepted the inevitability of conflict."

He turned to me, his gaze locking with mine. As he spoke, his words no longer echoed in my ears but came alive, as though the past itself had reached out to claim me.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancĆ©e. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancĆ© had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
