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.

I was a good girl.

Never in trouble with the law.

Never took drugs.

Always did precisely what was expected of me.

Even with his hand around my throat and words that cut sharper than knives, I couldn't help but wonder what happened to this beautiful man to make him that way.

That wonder disappeared when he threatened to kill my sister if I didn't follow his dark demands.

The good girl I once knew had now been buried alive beneath this game of hatred and lust.

And I had a feeling Atlas Hyde never lost.
