He kidnapped me.

That was how I met Atlas Hyde.

A man known by many names and admired by all.

But most didn’t know he was ruthless, conniving, and always got what he wanted.

No matter the cost.

“A devil doesn’t show his hand. He plays his cards until the winning hand is revealed. I think she may be my favorite playing card yet. And I plan to play every move possible when it comes to her.”
