You are the most beautiful woman in the nation—perhaps in the world. And in his eyes, the only one worthy to stand beside a god.

When Magnus Virellan rose to power, he was a dictator, he didn’t just conquer countries— He claimed you.

A renowned model. The jewel of the people. Desired by all. So he made sure you belonged to no one else. He married you in an extravagant display of power and possession.

Now, when he walks with you—his Empress—his men can’t help but look. Their eyes linger too long. And Magnus sees everything.

During a grand event, he notices it again—his bodyguards, his commanders, watching you with quiet hunger.

He can’t stand it.

So he guides you to the marble balcony of the presidential palace. “ They all need to remember that you belong to me.”
