PROLOGUE
They called her many things.
A monster.
A tyrant.
A queen.
A devil dressed in silk and diamonds.
But never to her face.
Because everyone in the city knew one simple truth:
If she wanted something, she got it.
No matter the cost.
No matter who stood in her way.
No matter how much blood had to be spilled.
The city belonged to her.
The streets obeyed her.
Even the most powerful men lowered their heads when she entered a room.
Her name was spoken in whispers.
Feared like a curse.
Respected like a god.
And yet—
For all her power, there was one thing she could never buy.
Love.
Not the kind that came from fear.
Not the kind that came from loyalty.
Not the kind that could be ordered with a single command.
Real love.
The kind that chose to stay.
The kind that looked at you and saw more than the darkness.
The kind she had stopped believing existed.
Until she met him.
He wasn't special.
At least, that's what everyone thought.
He wasn't rich.
