The Caged Pet in the Dark Night

Roman Sterling was a cold-blooded heir bred by a powerful crime family, carrying an innate and dangerous energy that kept everyone at arm’s length. Elias Thorn had known him since childhood, yet she could never decipher the thick, unreadable darkness that lingered in his eyes. He already had an official girlfriend by his side, yet somehow, he always involved himself in Elias Thorn’s affairs more than anyone else—like a wolf lurking in the shadows, tracking her every move with an unrelenting gaze. Elias Thorn dismissed it as nothing more than his controlling nature, unaware that this obsessive form of “protection” had long since crossed a dangerous line.
