Power. Money. Status.

Everything I have, I earned with blood, sweat, and tears—the vicious scar on my cheek can attest to that fact.
No one dares to go against me.
And if someone tries?
I punish and destroy them.

​
I’m a monster born from agony and pain with no redeeming qualities, a hunter who seeks to catch his prey.
To torture them in retribution for all the atrocities they have committed.
My current prey thinks he tricked me a long time ago by faking his death.
He didn’t.

​
There is one absolute law all monsters follow:
In order to catch your prey, you need to have the perfect decoy.
And what better decoy than the one person my prey craves the most.
Her.

​
The beauty who seeks answers to explain her horrific past, and unfortunately for her…I hold all the keys.
I should stay away from her.
Instead, I marry her and trap her in the beast’s castle with no way of escaping, claiming her as mine.


After all…
Life is unbearable.
And so am I.
