Rate this book
It started as a fifty-thousand-dollar bar bet to break my mind. It ended with me stealing his empire.

SIENNA
I clawed my way to the top of Apex Holdings. As the Director of Acquisitions, I’m brilliant, impenetrable, and untouchable. Until my reality begins to fracture. Missing files. Corrupted data. My private sanctuary violated. I thought I was losing my mind, or that a bitter rival was hunting me. Desperate and terrified, I ran into the arms of the only man powerful enough to protect Virgil Warren, my ruthless, sociopathic CEO.

I begged him for safety. I signed away my autonomy. But the monster wasn't guarding the gates. He was the one who locked me inside.

VIRGIL
She was an anomaly. A flawless, unyielding corporate machine that I decided to dismantle for my own amusement. The wager was break her mind, strip her of her armor, and claim her absolute submission. I orchestrated her nightmare perfectly. I watched her shatter, and I was there to play the savior.

She is mine now. My prize. My obsession. But I underestimated the tensile strength of a diamond.

THE REVERSAL
Virgil thought he built a velvet cage to hold a broken bird. He didn't realize he locked a starving leviathan inside his fortress. He wanted to own my reality? Fine. I’ll take his company, his legacy, and his absolute devotion.

We are two apex predators locked in a war of attrition, bound by mutually assured destruction and a toxic, consuming passion that will either burn Manhattan to the ground... or forge an indestructible new empire.
