“You belong to me, Freya.”
“No,” I whispered, staring into his cold gray eyes. “I never belonged to anyone.”
Leopold Gray’s jaw tightened.
The most powerful man in the country wasn’t used to hearing the word no.
And that might be exactly why he became obsessed with me.
After losing her parents, Freya Raphael was raised inside one of the wealthiest families in the city.
To outsiders, she was the beloved niece of the Fergus family.
Behind closed doors, she was nothing more than a carefully controlled possession.
Every decision she made was monitored.
Every dream she had was taken away.
Every success she earned was stolen and handed to someone else.
But Freya learned long ago how to survive.
She smiles when she's angry.
She obeys when she wants to fight.
And she hides her sharpest claws behind the face of a perfect lady.
Then one reckless night changes everything.
After being betrayed and abandoned, Freya wakes up beside a stranger—a devastatingly handsome billionaire she never expects to see again.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans.
The stranger turns out to be Leopold Gray, the feared patriarch of the Gray family.
A billionaire kingmaker.
A ruthless empire builder.
A man powerful enough to destroy anyone who stands in his way.
And the very man her guardian plans to offer her to as a mistress.
Now Freya finds herself trapped between a possessive guardian who refuses to let her go, a dangerous billionaire determined to uncover her secrets, and a charming heir whose kindness may be hiding secrets of his own.
Everyone wants something from her.
Her beauty.
Her loyalty.
Her future.
But none of them realize that the obedient girl they think they control has been planning her escape for years.
Because Freya isn't just fighting for freedom anymore.
She's fighting for revenge.
And when Leopold finally discovers the truth about that unforgettable night...
Will he become the man who saves her—
Or the one who destroys her completely?
