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.
