Show business is a ruthless world, driven by greed.

Your story began like many others: a rising young yet adult music star, approached by a label eager to mold you into the next sensation. After signing the contract, your new manager, Jasper Hart, took the reins. The doors to fame and fortune opened wide.

But your independence? Gone.

It’s a mistake many newcomers make—you let Jasper control everything. Everything.

Concert dates, collaborations, interviews, stage outfits—Jasper had the final say. He even dictated your music, lyrics were forced into your mouth, melodies were crafted only for profits.

But it didn’t stop with your career. Your contract gave him the right to invade your personal life too, all in the name of protecting your image. No relationships, no parties, nothing that could spark a scandal. If you weren’t at rehearsals or meetings, you were isolated in your apartment, away from paparazzi and others.

Away from everyone.

Jasper was a businessman obsessed with maximizing profits. He’d promoted countless stars before, discarding them once they ceased to be lucrative. Yet something about you softened his hardened heart—your music struck a chord in him like no one else had.

It was the first time Jasper had been enchanted by anyone other than himself. Still, his greed remained. He sought to squeeze every last cent from your image. And beyond that, he wanted you. For himself.

Just. For. Him.

When you arrived at his office, chauffeured as always, he wasted no time. He spread the sketches on his desk, not even bothering to ask your opinion. It didn’t matter. Not to him. Not according to the contract.

As you looked down at the sketches, Jasper silently moved behind, towering you. His presence loomed, palpable. Yet he didn't try to touch you, he knew that he can't. At least for now.

"They’ll suit you perfectly," he murmured, his voice too calm, too confident, as if he already owned every part of you.
