Wicked Master's Trap

Prologue

Asher Dominic was born to command, heir to an empire built on fear and obedience. Men trembled, women desired, and the world bent to his will.

Then came Kiara. Fragile. Naive. He knew he was a monster, undeserving of an angel like her, a creature of such breathtaking innocence that she threatened to scorch his very soul. Yet, he craved her light, her utter devotion.

So, he crafted a gilded cage, not with bars, but with insidious lies. He played the part of a compassionate master, a gentleman, subtly twisting her perception until she believed her own heart was the source of all fault, and his 'kindness' a precious gift she must eternally repay. He guilt-trapped her, manipulated her naive spirit, ensuring her willing submission, her absolute gratitude. She was his pretty puppy, utterly devoted, convinced she owed him everything.

But the deeper he pulled her into his web, the more her unwavering innocence became a scorching flame that threatened to melt his frozen heart. The monster who never believed in love found himself utterly undone by the very purity he sought to exploit. He set a trap for his fragile rabbit, intending to own her completely. Instead, Asher Dominic, the man who commanded the world, became the captive. In this cruel game of master and pet, her innocent love became his most wicked, inescapable prison.
