He's my teacher. He's my Step father. And he's the only man who devours me at night.**I am a scientist student who failed every course and was hated by my professor. But on one faithful morning my mum announced a heartbreaking information. She was going to marry the professor I lusted over. The one man I had imagined one day he would pin me down on his bed. Mr Chadwick is cold, brilliant, and sexy. He hated me for being dull and feminine but behind those eyes filled with fury, his darkest desires loomed around me.In public, Mr Chadwick is the perfect academic and the perfect step father. But behind closed doors of the study, he is a predator who had discovered my darkest secrets: a sketchbook filled with obsessive drawings of him.Now, the lessons have changed. Chadwick doesn't want me to study books; he wants me to study him. It was supposed to be a punishment. He curses me on the outside but claims me like a hungry lion every night. Under my mum's roof. It was supposed to break my spirit. But he found out, he lusted over the very thing he hated.

Ever thought your life couldn't possibly get any worse?That's exactly what I thought too. But one tragic night changed everything for me.I was working in secret as a stripper when my mask slipped during a performance and I went viral for it.My abusive family found out and before they could throw any more punches at me, I packed my bags and left the house.I thought that was rock bottom.But it wasn't.I got robbed of everything I owned.Broke, homeless and desperate, I accepted a one night offer from a stranger believing that maybe, just maybe my life was finally about to change for once.Well it did.But not just in the way I had imagined.I woke up in a stranger's bed with a mating mark burned into my neck.The Alpha who claimed me looked me in the eye and called our bond...A mistake?I thought that was the end of the nightmare. But the nightmare just started for me.Because my ruthless Alpha mate isn't just a dangerous Mafia boss...he was going to be something more to me.Something dangerous and forbidden.Trapped in a mansion filled with lies, blood and family secrets. Every instinct pulls me toward the one man I should hate, while he keeps pretending my whole existence meant nothing to him.But if I really meant nothing to him, why couldn't he just let me go?He doesn't want me, he doesn't want to let me go. I need him to pick a struggle please?

Look at the target, Gabe," Derek hissed, his voice a low vibration that settled in my bones. "Imagine it's my heart. Imagine you are finally putting me out of my misery." I was trapped between the cold metal of a gun and the burning heat of his body. My finger trembled on the trigger, but I couldn't pull it. My name is Gabriel. To the world I am the nerdy quiet university student. To Derek Miller, I am his toy. He found my secret sketchbook, page after page of his naked body drawn with obsessive detail. Now, he uses those sketches to keep me on a leash blackmailing me whenever he wants a taste of my dignity. But the nightmare was only beginning. When my religious mother announced she was marrying Derek’s billionaire father my world shattered. My bully wasn't just a ghost from campus anymore, he was my stepbrother. We share a room. We share a bathroom and now my body. He is everywhere I breathe. He claims me. He insults me. He treats me like trash. And the sickest part? I have realized I loved it rough. Our obsessive love is impossible. My mother would disown me, the Miller name would be tarnished, and Derek’s tough love is starting to leave scars I can't hide. Just as I am about to break, a new guy enters the picture someone who promises to love me softly. Someone who doesn't smell like gin and danger. But in the dark world of the Millers, safety is a lie. Now I have to choose: Do I run toward a peaceful future, or do I stay with the devil I already know?
