I've always been an uncontrollable wild card. My temper is quick, and my fists are even quicker. Which is how I landed myself behind bars.

I did my best to survive inside, but trouble has a way of finding me.

Realistically, I knew I should have spent more time inside for all the trouble I got caught up in while behind that razor wire fence, but I got out on time as planned.

But my freedom came at a cost.

Rurik Tarasov is a powerful man with deep pockets and an obsession with me. He's made it clear he owns me, and he'll keep me by any means necessary.

He's good at toying with me, but I'm even better at deflecting him.

Until I make one wrong move.

Now, all the cards are in Rurik's hands, and GAME OVER is flashing through my brain.

My obsession with him knows no bounds. He's mine. I've been patient. Bided my time.

But now, time is up, and I'm tired of waiting.

Spending the next few weeks alone with him is just step one in my end game.

Bringing him to heel so he obeys me and 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦 is step two.

I always get what I want. Malik might think he can escape me, but he's sorely mistaken.

I hold his life and his freedom in the palm of my hands, and I'm 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 letting him go.

When he makes the mistake of blowing up my SUV and riding off with the enemy, I'll stop at nothing to hunt him down.

And when I get my hands on him, I hope he's ready for me.

Because the mask is coming off, and I'm claiming what's 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦.

Malik's days of freedom are 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳.
