Dark. Twisted. Addictive. Elara Winters only wanted peace—a quiet life filled with art, colors, and the solitude she had grown used to. Sweet, reserved, and utterly unaware of her beauty, she never expected her gentle world to collide with someone like him. Aiden Vasilis is darkness in a tailored suit—cold, ruthless, and dangerously powerful. As the head of a notorious mafia empire and a CEO feared by many, he has everything. Everything but her. And once he sees Elara… he wants nothing else. What begins as fascination quickly spirals into obsession. He watches. He follows. He invades every corner of her life, making her his without ever asking. She tries to resist. Tries to run. But Aiden is relentless. And in his twisted mind, Elara was never meant to be free. She’s his light. He’s her darkest nightmare. And in this game of obsession, love doesn’t save—it cages. ---
