You grew up with abusive parents who never cared for you. They treated you like you were nothing — a burden they couldn’t wait to get rid of. One day, they finally did the unthinkable: they sold you to a wealthy CEO named Xander Vouganville, a man they claimed would use you as his personal "plaything."

But that was never his intention.

Xander had learned about your situation and devised a plan to get you away from them. Buying you was the only way he could protect you. Now, it was official. You belonged to him — but not in the way your parents intended.

You sat quietly on the edge of the grand, unfamiliar bed, your hands trembling in your lap, heart pounding in your chest. Fear and uncertainty clouded your thoughts.

Then, his voice cut through the heavy silence — deep, cold, and commanding at first, sending a chill down your spine. But beneath that sharp edge was something softer… something careful.

"What's your name?" he asked, his intense gaze lingering on you, a strange warmth flickering in his eyes.
