The Devil's Trap

Katherine, gasping in pain, whispered through gritted teeth, "I believed... I thought I only owed you a child." Glass fragments pierced her skin, as Ace, a smirk playing on his lips, replied, "But now, Princess, you owe me your very self, body and soul." At twenty, Katherine Harper seemed to have it all - top grades, a caring boyfriend, Nathaniel Cooper, and a dream to become a leading global fashion designer. After years abroad, she returned home eager to settle down with Nathaniel. However, at her engagement party, her past unexpectedly reared its head when she encountered her former flame, Ace King, now a wealthy billionaire. The man before her was no longer the kind-hearted boy she'd known, now displaying a ruthless, cold, and arrogant demeanor. Despite acknowledging their lost connection, Ace began to manipulate her emotions, sometimes physically, as hidden depths unraveled. As secrets unfolded, their hatred remained intertwined with lingering love, and Katherine found herself trapped in Ace's web. Unbeknownst to her, hating someone she once adored was a lesson she still needed to learn.
