He’ll burn it all to the ground to keep her.
Her fire will consume his soul.

Today, my father gifted me with the best present: he died.

He left the House of Cross behind–my legacy. But my father left the multibillion drug empire to pure evil. My stepbrother, Asad Prince.

He wasn’t counting on how this has finally given me freedom. As the last Cross, I’ll leave it all behind. And I will have the last laugh too: I will take the formula for the drug I created with me.

But Asad wants more. More control over the House of Cross. More of me. He knows exactly how to get both: by threatening me to marry him. If I disagree, he’ll kill the few people I love.

I won’t make it easy for him. And I will not fall into temptation. Because Asad might be my mortal enemy–but he’s also everything I want.
