Haisley is a woman who is held as collateral by her father and brother to pay their debts to a mafia gambling house owner.

Lucas Abraham, the man, accepts Haisley as collateral and makes her his sex partner. There is no love present, especially in Lucas, as his heart has long since died with his lover. But what happens when Haisley is kidnapped by his business partner? Does Lucas not care and let Haisley be killed by his enemy, or will Lucas help Haisley when he realizes he doesn't like anyone hurting Haisley except himself?

The Cruel Mafia and Its Collateral Women

Haisley swallowed hard, her body turning cold in an instant. Lucas would be angry. Very angry if he ever found out about this part of her past.

And not just because of jealousy. But because of his possessiveness, the control he always wanted to maintain. If Lucas found out that she had once been in a relationship with a woman, what would happen? Would he leave her? Divorce her? Or... punish her?

Her head started to spin, her thoughts swirling. No. No. She didn't want to go back to that time.

The time when Lucas treated her like a doll. The time when even the smallest words could ignite the man's fury. The time before Lucas fell into a coma, when her feelings felt like a double-edged sword—loving and hurting her all at once.
