I built my kingdom on control. Then she walked in, and I started losing it–fast.
Shes not just beautiful. Shes captivating for reasons I cant comprehend.
I break my own rules to get closer. I cant stop touching her. Cant stop wanting her. And when my old ally puts a hit out on her, I lose every bit of that control Im known for.
Bringing her home with me shouldve been the end of it.
Instead, its just the beginning.
The more I fall for her, the more I see the cracks in my kingdom–and the lies shes wrapped herself in.
Nothing is more important than my business and my family. I cant trust her. I can only trust leverage. Shes been using mine all along.
I should end her and walk away.
But I cant and won’t let her go that easily.
Now, the business is bleeding from the inside. My people are dying. And the woman I let inside my walls? She might be the knife at my throat.
She wants a seat at the table. She wants my empire to bend.
But I didn’t become King to just let anyone—especially her—take it from me.
So tell me, Diamond.
Are you my salvation… or my ruin?
