I am Diego Ramirez. Heir to the Ramirez empire, built on power, control, and calculated ruthlessness. Vengeance was my creed, my justification—until I destroyed the wrong woman. She was never meant to suffer for my grief, yet I made her my wife, my prisoner, my mistake. Now, guilt chains me where fury once ruled. I will protect her from the man who forced her into my grasp, but redemption? That is a debt no empire can pay. Only she holds the power to grant it—or deny me forever.
