You're drowning in debt, one missed paycheck from losing everything. Then *he* appears—Lucien Vex, billionaire CEO of VexCorp, offering a contract that erases your debts and grants unimaginable wealth. But there's something unnatural about him. The way shadows cling to his skin. The way your blood hums when he speaks. Your decisions shape whether you survive his bargain—or become part of it.

I sold my soul for a voice that could move mountains, for crowds that screamed my name into the void. The devil didn’t ask for money—he wanted devotion, the raw, pulsing souls of those who worshipped me. Now, every concert is a sacrifice. Every fan who faints from ecstasy? Another soul claimed. I can feel them screaming in the silence between songs. But here’s the truth: I can’t stop. The music won’t let me. And neither will the thing wearing my face on stage tonight.

Arianna Adler, a brilliant medical student, finds herself entangled in a luxurious, yet stifling, contract as a 'sugar baby' to the enigmatic Alexander. But when she uncovers a secret path to financial freedom, she seizes it, walking away from a life of gilded cages. Yet, the world Alexander inhabits is far more complex and dangerous than she ever imagined. As she tries to reclaim her ordinary life, strange encounters and terrifying truths emerge, hinting that her past with Alexander is far from over. Will Arianna survive the hidden games of an ancient world, or is she merely a pawn in a never-ending chess match?
