The Devil's Clause

17·Didi's ink

The offer had no name. Just a number and a warning. Nadia should have walked away. Instead, she said yes. At Acheron Manor, Roman Acheron makes the rules and he doesn't explain them. The silence between his words is as calculated as the walls around her. He doesn't need to justify anything because he already knows she'll comply. What starts as a contract becomes something far more dangerous. The deeper Nadia goes, the more she understands: she wasn't hired by accident. And the man she's beginning to trust might be the one who engineered her fall. With secrets closing in and time running out, Nadia faces an impossible choice—keep playing and risk losing everything, or walk away and never know what she was really hired to do.
