ALI KARAHAN:
I calculate, dismantle, and rebuild the world in my image.
I was raised on violence. Trained in silence. And forged into something untouchable. People follow me because they fear the alternative. I control governments, alliances, and monsters with clean hands and a dirtier mind. No one ever sees me coming, until it's too late.
Sarah Sheikh was never meant to cross my path.
She worked for me discreetly—feeding intel, breaking codes, unraveling my enemies—without ever knowing who she truly served.
But fate had other plans.
Now we're forced to work together.
And she's no longer just a ghost in my system.
She's a fire in my veins. A threat to my control.
She doesn't realize I've already discovered the inside man.
Or that I've started turning her into something I never allow. Mine.
So I made her useful.
Then I made her loyal.
Now, she's mine.
With logic. With war. With precision.
She didn't even realize I rewrote her fate.
Until it was too late.
SARAH SHEIKH:
He didn't trap me.
He convinced me I walked in willingly.
Ali Karahan is not a man you work with. He's a force you survive. He doesn't yell. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't bleed. He moves people like chess pieces, and when he looks at you —you realize too late: you've already lost.
I was trained to hate men like him.
But nothing could prepare me for how deeply he played the game.
He used my skill, my silence, my past and offered nothing in return but the feeling of finally being powerful.
He didn't break me.
He turned me into something worse.
Now I sit beside him while the empire burns.
Not as his asset. Or weapon
But as his equal.
This is ownership dressed as free will.
And I'm still saying yes.
Read now to uncover the secrets buried beneath blood, betrayal, and obsession.
In a world where two dangerous forces collide, boundaries blur and survival demands surrender.
Are you ready to burn with them?
