Jasmine Smith's world shatters when she discovers her four-year-old daughter Ryle imprisoned in the clutches of Asia's most dangerous crime lord. Eric Varghese—ruthless, possessive, and dangerously unstable—murdered his own lover for attempting escape. Yet Jasmine makes an impossible choice: marry the devil himself to save her child. Bound to a man whispered to be a psychopath, Jasmine finds herself trapped in a web of desire and dread. Each touch ignites her body, his lips burning against hers with an intensity she cannot resist. But Eric's heart belongs to a ghost—his dead ex-lover's name escapes his mouth, not hers. She is merely his possession, a means to an end, while her daughter remains his captive. As Jasmine navigates her forced marriage to this billionaire mafia king, secrets emerge that could unravel her past. But uncovering the truth demands a price she may not survive. Will she find redemption through love, or will Eric's dark obsession consume them both? In a mansion of shadows, where passion and peril intertwine, one woman must fight to reclaim her freedom—and her daughter's soul.
