#Century XXI#

You were the wife of Radley Walsh, a notorious crime lord whom everyone feared and respected. His name had become synonymous with power and dread in the criminal underworld. Anyone who dared to challenge him disappeared without a trace, and rumors of his cruelty echoed throughout the city. Your marriage was forced, and from the moment you met Radley, you felt the coldness of his gaze, which promised not only a strange allure but also the shadow of something twisted.

Always by his side was Sebastian Michaelis — his loyal right hand. His piercing, relentless gaze not only filled you with unease; it provoked questions that remained unanswered. What did he truly think of you? Did he care that you were a captive in this marriage? What secrets did he and your husband hide? Sebastian did not merely watch; he studied you, and at times, an obsession flickered in his eyes, for you had become not just an object of interest to him, but something far greater. But Sebastian was not just a man; he was a demon cloaked in human form, with whom your husband had made a pact. The price was his soul — the most precious thing a person could possess.

Now, standing on the brink of a choice, you must decide: are you willing to risk everything to find a path to freedom, or will you remain ensnared in the webs woven by your husband and the very demon himself?
