Prologue - There Is No Escape

Celeste Moreau never believed in monsters.
Until the day she met Damian Voss.

He doesn't just want her-he owns her.
The air she breathes. The clothes she wears. The scent on her skin.
There is no freedom, only the illusion of choice.
And when she dares to run, he lets her believe she's won.
For a while.

But monsters are patient.
And Damian? He enjoys the chase.

When he finds her again, the rules change.
No more kindness. No more games.
This time, he'll teach her what it truly means to belong.

This time, there is no escape.

A dark, twisted, slow-burn psychological billionaire romance where possession is inevitable... and surrender is only the beginning.
