She never expected her secret to unravel this way—not to him, of all people. When he discovers the truth about her hidden life, everything changes. He holds the power to expose her, and she knows it. The weight of his knowledge settles between them like a trap with no escape. "Let's make a deal," he whispers, closing the distance between them. His kiss on her cheek is unexpectedly gentle, catching her completely off guard. Heat floods her face as she realizes he noticed her reaction, and shame crashes over her at the thought of what he called her just moments ago. But this isn't about shame anymore. It's about survival. He wants something in exchange for his silence—something that terrifies her more than exposure ever could. He wants her to be his girlfriend. Not because he cares. Because he can. Now she's caught between two impossible choices: let her secret destroy her, or surrender to someone who knows exactly how to manipulate her weakness. In a world where she sold her body to survive, she never imagined she'd have to sell her heart too.
