I Shouldn’t be wearing this ring. I shouldn’t be in his house, in his bed, in his world. Because the night I met Roman Valenko, I watched him kill a man. There was blood on the marble floor. A gun still warm in his hand. And I saw everything. He should’ve ended me right then and there. But instead… he offered me a deal. Marry him. Pretend to be his fiancée. Keep quiet. Stay alive. I told myself I was doing it to survive. That I’d play along until I found a way out. But every day in his world pulls me deeper, into the lies, the power, the danger… and him. He’s cold, calculated, and cruel when he needs to be. But when no one’s watching, he’s something else entirely. And just when I start to believe there’s more to him than violence and shadows, I find out the truth: This was never protection. It was a plan. I was never collateral, I was the target. Now I’m not just wearing his ring. I’m holding every secret that could destroy him. And if I walk away now, I might lose more than just my life.
