"I married you to destroy you."
Auren Lys thought love could bloom from friendship. He believed that Damir Voss—his childhood companion and protector—married him out of affection. But behind Damir’s cold eyes hides a secret far darker than Auren ever imagined.
Years ago, a tragedy tore their worlds apart. Damir’s family was shattered, and in his grief, he blamed only one person: Auren.
To the world, they are a power couple—heir and heir, joined by fate. But inside their mansion, Auren is a prisoner in a silk cage, and Damir is the warden disguised as a husband. Every smile hides venom. Every touch carries punishment.
Yet Auren, fragile and loyal, holds on to the boy he once knew—the boy who promised to protect him.
But innocence doesn’t last forever.
As lies unravel and truths surface, Auren begins to change. The boy Damir sought to break begins to fight back. Tender turns to sharp. Obedience becomes dominance.
And Damir? He starts to fall for the fire he tried to extinguish.
