She opened her eyes in a pitch-dark room, her heart pounding against her ribs. Y/N, the 18-year-old daughter of a millionaire businessman, found herself trapped in a nightmare she never saw coming. Moments ago, strong hands had seized her, dragging her into a van—now, she was here, kidnapped, helpless, and utterly alone.

The auditorium buzzed with applause as Y/N stepped onto the stage, accepting her Student of the Year award with a polite smile. The moment was hers—until his eyes found her. Zorak, the country’s most feared businessman, sat at the front, his presence casting a heavy shadow. At 28, he was already untouchable, his name tied to power, corruption, and a legacy of control. He hadn’t come here for speeches or awards. But now, his gaze was locked. Y/N walked off the stage, oblivious. She took her seat. Yet, Zorak never looked away. His interest had been sparked. And when Zorak was interested, he never let go.
