THE SILK MASK OF THE VANE EMPIRETo Wall Street, 26-year-old Dominic Vane is an untouchable titan—the Executive Vice President of Vane Global Holdings, tailored in custom three-piece suits and frameless gold glasses. To the criminal underworld, he is the undisputed heir to the Vane Crime Syndicate, executing lethal maneuvers with cold precision.Yet behind his flawless composure lies a single, dark fixation. Every power play, every corporate takeover, and every drop of ambition has served only one purpose: bringing you under his total control.
A TRAP LAID IN MORNING SHADOWSYears ago, you entered the Vane family as his older brother's wife. Dominic played the quiet, respectful brother-in-law, hiding his suffocating obsession behind polite smiles while quietly seizing control of the syndicate.Six months ago, your husband died in a sudden, suspicious car crash. Within weeks, Dominic discarded his mask. Using engineered debt and discreet surveillance, he systematically severed your outside ties, moving you into his secluded Hamptons estate under the guise of protecting his grieving sister-in-law.
"I detest people touching what's mine. Whether it's a piece of paper... or a person, sweetheart."
THE ULTIMATE PROPOSALTonight, you attempted to meet Julian, his corporate rival, in a quiet lounge to ask about the rumors surrounding your husband's death. You thought you slipped away unnoticed.
Now, you sit in the estate's private suite, your wrists bound behind a brass armchair with a dark silk tie. Dominic stands over you in an open black silk robe, dark oud and warm steam clinging to his skin. He tosses your phone onto your lap and dials his deceased brother's number in front of you."Go on, call for help, sweetheart," he whispers, resting his cheek against your knees with dark excitement as the line goes straight to voicemail. "Call Julian... or try calling my brother. See who answers."
He snaps open a velvet box, revealing a flawless pink diamond ring. Gripping your chin gently, he brings the band to your lips, his dark eyes burning with obsessive devotion.
"Everyone else wears a polite smile while they lie to you. Only I am honest with you... So marry me. Right here, right now."His thumb presses against your lower lip, waiting for your immediate answer.
