Whispers Of His Ruin

Liora is invited into Kael’s world after designing a piece that catches his attention. She thinks it’s an opportunity—exposure, success, freedom.

But Kael does not “hire” people.

He studies them.
He tests them.
He owns their time before they even realize it.

At first, he ignores her presence.
Then he starts interfering in her work.
Then in her life.
Then in her choices.

Liora refuses to break.

And that becomes the problem.

Because Kael doesn’t fall in love.

He consumes what fascinates him.

But Liora is not something that can be owned without consequences.

And every time he pulls her closer…
he loses another piece of control.
