He demands perfection. He got me.
They call Silas Vane a visionary. The Architect of the Century. A man who reshapes the skyline of New York City with steel and glass. To the world, he is a genius.
To me, he is a monster in a three-piece bespoke suit.
Cold. Calculating. Obsessed with order. Silas views the world as a chessboard and emotions as inefficiencies. He hates noise. He hates mess. And most of all, he hates to be touched.
I am Elena Rostova, and I am everything he despises.
I am drowning in debt, trailing chaos, and desperate enough to take any lifeline thrown my way. Even if that lifeline is a deal with the devil himself.
Silas didn't just hire me to write his biography. He bought my debts. He bought my freedom. And then, he locked me in his penthouse-a glass cage ninety stories above the city.
The Rules were simple:
Live in his tower.
Submit to his schedule.
Never touch him.
I expected a tyrant. I expected a cold, sterilized prison.
I didn't expect the way his eyes would track me when he thought I wasn't looking. I didn't expect the dark, twisted hunger that lives beneath his pristine facade. He treats me like a structural flaw he needs to fix, but I see the cracks in his own foundation.
He thinks he can control me. He thinks he can rewrite me.
But I've learned something about the Architect: He built this kingdom on ash, and I'm holding the match.
