Owned by the Dark
Sarah never wanted to inherit her father’s past —
yet the moment masked men dragged her and her brothers into a forgotten warehouse, she realized that sins don’t die… they come looking for blood.
For two relentless weeks, she endured the cruelty of Mark — a cold, calculating leader raised by the underworld, molded into a weapon, and taught that mercy is weakness.
He didn’t shout, didn’t rage, didn’t enjoy the violence —
he simply observed, with the precision of a man who believed pain was a science.
He claimed her father killed his brother.
He swore revenge.
And Sarah became the debt.
But when an unexpected order forces the gang to release their captives, Mark does something even he can’t explain —
he lets her go…
and gives her his number.
Months pass, but freedom is an illusion.
Nightmares hunt her, trauma consumes her, and the shadows of that room cling to her skin like scars.
When her family is ambushed on a trip, Sarah makes a choice she once swore she never would:
She calls him.
And he comes.
With fire.
With bullets.
With hell in his wake.
Bound by rage, torn by secrets, and drawn by a desire neither of them wants to admit, Sarah finds herself pulled back into the world she escaped — this time, as a player, not a victim.
But the truth is far deadlier than revenge.
Mark’s past is built on lies.
Everything he believes — everything he destroyed — may have been orchestrated by the very people he obeys.
Enemy lines blur, alliances bend, and desire becomes a weapon neither of them knows how to control.
To survive, they must destroy the empire that created them.
To love, they must become something darker than the world they fight.
And by the time the last chain breaks, nothing — not innocence, not sanity, not humanity — will remain untouched.
