She wears white like armor, hiding the scars no one is allowed to see. As a powerful CEO, Maya Luke Johnson controls empires, yet her own heart remains locked away, shattered by a past she never speaks about — a past shaped by the man who was meant to protect her. Love terrifies her. Vulnerability feels dangerous. Silence is her shield. Then there is Eren Williams, a man who seems to belong more to the night than to the world everyone sees. Quiet. Controlled. Unreadable. His life is wrapped in unanswered questions, and the darkness in his eyes suggests a history he refuses to share. When their paths cross, attraction is inevitable, but trust is impossible. Both are running from ghosts they pretend no longer exist. And as hidden truths begin to surface, Maya must decide whether she is brave enough to open the part of her heart she buried long ago — or risk losing the only man who understands her shadows.

One forbidden song played on a golden harp is all it takes to bind them. A contract marriage. A shared bed. A mutual thirst for ruin. ———————————————————————————————- The double doors of the Blackwood penthouse slammed shut, echoing like a gunshot. Marissa hadn't even had time to turn around before Killian's shadow engulfed her. He was a wall of cold fury and suffocating heat. “You think you’re so bright, don’t you?” Killian’s voice was a low, menacing hum against her ear. He’d yet to touch her, but his nearness was a palpable force. His scent was nothing if not intoxicating: the rich aroma of night air and sandalwood and the cold burn of jealousy that had been simmering all evening. “Smiling at him. Allowing Marcus to move close enough to breathe my scent. Do you think I would not notice?” Marissa tilted her head back, her eyes locking with Killian's in the reflection trapped in the floor-to-ceiling windows. "This was a function of the plan, Killian. We had agreed there would come a time when they would think I was still accessible." "The hell you were." Killian’s hand shot out, his palm slamming flat against the glass beside her head. He twisted her around roughly. His eyes were no longer black as obsidian; they were hot enough to melt steel. Before she could say one more thing to defy him, his lips crashed down onto hers. It wasn’t an invitation; it was an appropriation. It tasted of bourbon and the need that had been burning since the moment she put her first step out onto that stage. Marissa let out a tight gasp, her hands flying up to his chest. Her fingers, which had once enthralled the entire city, weren’t pushing him away; they were clawing at his chest, tearing at his shirt until the buttons went flying across the marble floor like plastic hail. Killian groaned into her mouth, a primal sound of noise. He lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carried her towards the massive mahogany desk in the room. He used one arm to knock the crystal decanters off the desk, shattering glass in a sound that broke the silence of the room. He pushed her toward the edge of the desk and began working on the zipper of her dress with deadly precision. “To hell with the contract,” he muttered against her skin, his breathing ragged. “Tonight, you’re not playing for revenge. You’re playing for me.”

Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.
