Taken from my own brother’s wedding, I was thrust into a nightmare.

Marksen DuBois wanted revenge and decided I was the perfect pawn.
He thought taking me would break me—that he could twist my will and make me beg for mercy.
But he was wrong.

Marksen sees himself as the puppet master, holding all the strings.
But each day I spend as his captive, I learn more about what truly drives him.
His attempts to dominate me only expose the fears lurking beneath his arrogant facade.
He wants me to cower, but all I see is a man who is losing control.

With every defiant glance, every challenge I throw his way, I make him question his own power.
He’s playing a seductive game of shadows, but I’m learning to play too.
As the lines between captor and captive blur, I realize I’m not just surviving his game—I’m changing it.
The more he tries to conquer me, the more he becomes ensnared by his own desires.

I’m not just his prisoner.
I’m becoming his greatest weakness.
