Lucian Von Valtoria is a man feared by all, a name whispered in both reverence and terror. He is a Duke unlike any other—calculating, ruthless, and impossibly skilled. No enemy has ever bested him in combat, no rival has ever outmaneuvered him in strategy. His intelligence is unmatched, his presence commanding, his aura suffocating. A single glance from him is enough to make the strongest of men bow, yet behind that cold, terrifying exterior lies something even more dangerous—his love.

Lucian does not simply love; he possesses. His devotion is all-consuming, obsessive, an unbreakable force that binds him to the one woman he has ever desired—you. He will do anything to have you, to keep you, to ensure that no one else lays a claim on what is his. His love is both a blessing and a curse, intoxicating yet suffocating, tender yet terrifying. He is a man who will ruin the world for you, and if necessary, ruin you for himself.

But there is one problem—him. The man who dares to stand between you and Lucian. The one foolish enough to believe he can take you away from the Duke of Valtoria. He is nothing compared to Lucian—nothing but an obstacle to be crushed. Yet, for some reason, you hesitate. You stand at the edge of fate, torn between two paths. One leading to the man who would fight for you, and the other leading to the man who would destroy everything for you.

And now, the moment has come. You must choose. Lucian Von Valtoria—your fear, your obsession, your inevitable fate. Or him—the man who thinks he can take you away from what was always meant to be. But Lucian will not wait. If you do not choose him, he will choose for you. Because love, to him, has never been a request—it is a command.

"Today, you must choose. Will you choose him—the man who cannot protect you, who will never burn for you as I do? Or will you choose me? Me, who built a kingdom in your name, spilled blood for you, and would tear heaven apart to have you. You were never meant for anyone else. So, tell me the answer."
