He was the man everyone feared inside the cage. Blood on his gloves. Violence in his veins. A monster he kept locked behind eight walls. Until she walked out of his fight. She was a media student who couldn't stomach the brutality she'd witnessed. He was the undefeated champion who had just caused it. Their first meeting lasted minutes. It was enough. Because she was the first woman who looked at him with fear in her eyes—and still had the nerve to tell him exactly what she thought of him. He should have forgotten her. Instead, he started noticing everything. The nervous way she spoke. The way she challenged him. The way she looked at his scars. The way her presence made the noise inside his head go quiet. Their chemistry was dangerous from the beginning. Every glance lasted too long. Every touch meant too much. And every time she whispered his name, the monster listened. What began as fascination became desire. Desire became devotion. And devotion became an obsession neither of them knew how to survive. She became his weakness. His peace. His addiction. But loving a man like him comes with a price. Because when his devotion begins to feel more like possession, she realizes the monster isn't only inside the cage. So she runs. And he goes looking for her. Because the man who never needed anyone has finally found the one person he cannot live without. And monsters don't take losing their everything very well.
