Dylan Sterling, der jüngste und rücksichtsloseste Chef der Sterling Group, verfügt über besondere Kräfte, die den Konzern überragen. Geld, Ruhm und Intelligenz waren ein klarer Beweis für seinen Status in der Gesellschaft, der er angehört. Sein außergewöhnliches Talent diente einem verborgenen Zweck, und die von ihm beherrschte DUNKLE WELT war grausam. Er zeigte keine Gnade mit allen, die sich ihm in den Weg stellten, und verschlang alle, die versuchten, sich ihm entgegenzustellen. Savannah Schultz - 21 Jahre alt, ein Waisenkind, das zum Model wurde. Sie war mit Devin verlobt, nur um Unterstützung für das Familienunternehmen zu bekommen, das ihr Vater viele Jahre lang aufgebaut hatte. Später, nach dem Tod ihres Vaters, ging sie in den Süden. Und ihr Onkel Dalton Schultz adoptierte sie, um alles zu bekommen, was sie hatte, einschließlich Devins Hilfe. Devin hatte sie wie eine Sklavin an seinen Onkel Dylan verkauft - um den berüchtigten Mann um zusätzliches Kapital für sein Geschäft zu bringen. Dylan hatte sie verschlungen wie eine Schachtel Pralinen und sie wie ein Druckmittel behandelt. Sie spürte, wie sie aus dem Gleichgewicht geriet und in einen tiefen Abgrund stürzte. Wut, Traurigkeit, Scham - schwappten in ihr hoch und drohten, ihr Leben zu ruinieren. Um sich selbst vor der Demütigung zu bewahren, plante er, sie zu seiner Ehefrau zu machen, und versprach, ihr bei der Auflösung der Verlobung zu helfen und ihr Familienunternehmen zu unterstützen. Hilflos und gedemütigt nahm sie sein Angebot an. Sie begann, vor diesen Tyrannen stark zu werden, aber sie war schwach, wenn es um ihn ging. Sie lebten zusammen, behandelten sich aber wie Fremde. Er hatte nicht vor, sich in sie zu verlieben, denn vor ein paar Jahren hatte jemand sein Herz besetzt. Doch die Situation änderte sich, als er herausfand, wer sie wirklich war! Aber die dunkle Welt, die er beherrschte, drohte sie zu zerstören. Mysterium, Täuschung und Rache trieben sie beide an, gemeinsam aufzusteigen.

--- Ariana was rooted to the floor outside of Anthony’s door her heart raced in her chest, like something was preparing to break apart her ribs. She had not wanted to come to a halt, much less listen in on the conversation that was unfolding before her. But the sound of laughter that came from Rachel was not new to her ears which suddenly had her face the direction of the voice like a pupet. “…you’re so bad, Anthony,” Rachel whispered sexily. “I never lie to you,” Anthony countered sullenly then suddenly grew smarmy, “I’m only bad with you.” Reaching out Ariana braced her back against the wall and her mind whirled round with confusion. Glancing around the corner she stopped breathing as she saw them. Rachel resting on Anthony laps, having her hand resting on Anthony’s arm. He leered at her, and from even his bearing suggest that he wanted something more than friendship from her. “She has not realized it yet?” Rachel asked me in low tones as if Shareen was a hopeless case. Anthony chuckled. “He realized Ariana was smart, as well as trusting in his team. That’s her weakness.” Such words are a shock for Ariana as if someone slapped her. [His fists clenched.]His hands shook, and for a moment she considered; she felt that nausea could overcome herself. Trust. That was what she had delivered to them – what she considered they deserved. And now? Now they were laughing about it, about her . She wanted to rush into the room and meet them eye to eye, look them into the eyes and scold them for every single angry word that rises within her chest. But she didn’t move. Not yet. She held a strap of her bag so tightly her hands became gloved. Indeed, she retreated sensibly, her breathing becoming light. It was not so strange they did not notice her go ; of course they did not. Why would they, if they reckoned she did not know any better? And when she came to the door of the house, shutting herself out on the cold evening, when the wind caressed her cheek like a slate, then in her soul something leaped. The heartbreak was still there, but it was buried beneath a wave of something new,rage. But she paused and with her head held high she walked away leaving her legs give away from her. The frosty night’s darkness embraced her when she tripped outside, onto the campus and grass., but the freezing air was no match for the icy sensation in her chest. She began to ponder vigorously various questions, accusations and processes of retaliation in her mind. But she didn’t see the car. This blaring of the horn was too late. There was the pathetic squealing of brakes and a moment of unbearable agony that filled her from head to toe. The world staggered, and the last thing Ariana could make out before everything went black was the night sky above her. Everything went black. ---

Until one day he was forced out into the world, searching for answers and revenge. But little did he know, the world was much larger and complex then he could've imagined. (The title and synopsis are tentative and may end up changing later) - I'm gonna try to work on this more over the next few months/year. My younger brother died recently, so I think working on this will help me a bit. Keep myself busy, you know. I personally don't see a future where this story does well enough to prompt me to work on it regularly, so I'll probably write a few chapters here and there then post them one at a time. I really would prefer to have my story made into a webcomic or something, but I don't have any connections or funds to get an artist/team of artists to draw everything -

I said confused. He raised an eyebrow but otherwise looked indifferent. "Am I supposed to," it was more of a statement than a question but his lack of a reaction made me realize he actually had no clue who I was. I frowned at him analyzing him for a long time before my lips spread thin into a goofy grin. I gave him the biggest smile, one that I haven't given to anyone in a long time. "Rosabella," I said stretching my arm out in front of us. He stared at my outstretched hand for what felt like forever before his large hand wrapped itself around my smaller one. "Aries," he seemed to be making his grip as light as possible. Almost as if he feared that anything tighter than that would break my smaller hand in his. I tilted my head confused. "Like the god of war?" I asked. His grip suddenly tighten which made me flinch and he quickly let go before looking away from me as if trying to avoid eye contact. "Sure," he said. I was about to ask another question when I heard someone ask a group of ladies not too far away from us, "Have any of you seen this girl?" The woman looked at the picture and then looked up in confusion just before her eyes met mine and recognition hit her face like a slap to the cheek. I knew immediately that I had been found. "Shit," I said just as Ares walked up to what I was assuming was his motorcycle. He put his helmet on and the guys speaking to the lady a few feet away turned around to look at where the lady pointed me out. I yelped and jumped on the back of Aries motorcycle hugging him from behind for dear life. "What are you doing?" "Drive!" I don't know if it was the panic in my voice or the fact that I was shaking uncontrollably but thankfully he didn't question me further. He instead, stepped on it and we were speeding through the town just before the men could react.
