Chapter 1 Prologue

As the prison gates opened, I took my first steps into the outside world after five long years behind bars. The sun felt warm on my skin, and the fresh air filled my lungs with a sense of freedom I had almost forgotten. I looked around, trying to take in the sights and sounds of the bustling city that had changed so much in my absence.

I saw my mother and my two friends, Ali and Henry, waving at me happily in the midst of the crowds. The sight of them brought back happy memories and at that moment I also regretted my actions which had brought me to this part of the city. Over time, I have thought about what I did, and I have come to the conclusion that I have no regrets whatsoever and if I could turn back time, I will do the same thing over again.

I had served my time for a crime I was happy I committed, I thought hurting the people who betrayed me will give me peace of mind and maybe the years I spent behind the bars would make me forget the hurt I felt, but the scars of those years lingered, haunting me like a shadow that refused to let go. I had lost everything – my vision, my startup, the one I was sure if I committed five years to will have become an empire and most importantly, my trust for love.

As I walked towards the family I had left, My mother, tears streaming down her face, ran towards me and enveloped me in a tight hug. My friends stood behind her with eyes full of warmth and relief. As we drove home, memories flooded back – of the day I was arrested, of the trial that sealed my fate, and of the heartbreaking moment when I had learned the truth that got me to this mess.

I have never believed in love to start with, considering that my father betrayed my mother. My father left when I was six years to go after another woman and since then, it has been me and my mother against the world. Being the hopeless romantic my mother was she had encouraged me to feel what is like to be in love and not let the relationship she had with my father be my yardstick for how love should be.

From my high school days to college, the relationship I had that lasted for long was for six months - my friends do tease me that I was cursed by the goddess of love. This narration changed after I met Kev at our freshman party, he was together with Ali and Henry, and I was with Anne, my best friend – we have been friends since grade 8.

That was the beginning of our friendship, the group of five, we were inseparable, with me and Kev being the couple of the group. He changed my perspective on love, he used to call me his muse, and I was pleased when I was with him.

During our senior year, a game we decided to play "Truth or Truth" and that was how our lives turn upside down, some unsettling truth came to light, the truths that led me to spending five years of my life in jail.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
