He thought I was just another pawn in his game. But pawns can become queens.
He kidnapped me. Lied to me. Betrayed me.
Now Henry Fontaine swears he’s the only man who can keep me alive. Maybe he’s right. But survival always comes with a sacrifice.
And trusting the man who once held me captive feels like stepping back into a cage I vowed I’d never return to. I should walk away. I should run.
Yet every time I try, something drags me back to him… The monster in the shadows with a touch that feels like damnation and eyes that promise salvation. He says he wants to protect me.
That he’ll burn down the world before he lets anyone hurt me. But men like Henry always have another lie. Another secret. Another move on the board.
Can I trust him enough to believe he’s finally telling me the truth? Or am I still nothing more than a pawn in his game of revenge?
