However, rather than filling him with warmth and passion like it once used to, he began feeling empty inside whenever he painted or drew. The night before his freshman orientation at the university he was going to attend, he made up his mind to deffer his enrollment and step away from art entirely. At nineteen years old, this one decision would not only alter the course of his future, but lead him to finding the answers to questions he desparatley searched for, "Why do I paint?

Lucas Mark, whose old name was "Hades, the Dark Monarch," is a former soldier who now works in the high-stakes world of business power. People who were afraid of my power forced me to quit early, so I went back home. When I got a job offer at Prospera Corporation, I was thrown back into danger. I met Amelia Marco there. She is the smart, persistent CEO who guards her business and her heart with equal vigilance. When I find Amelia poisoned in her office, I know that her life and her business are in grave danger. She is in even more danger now that you have saved her, because people are attacking her home and life. We were both surprised when we were forced to go to a public event. It was meant to boost her reputation and buy us time while we look for the mysterious person who is planning her downfall. But the more time I spend with her, the more difficult it is to separate the act from how I feel about her. Amelia is strong and driven, but she is also becoming more and more fragile because of lies and betrayals she can't get away from at every corner. Every turn shows how deep the plots go and how badly her enemies want her to fail as they deal with corporate spying, break-ins, and constant threats. But when I find that one of her closest friends has been hurting her from within, I understand the stakes are higher than we ever expected. In our final battle with her betrayers, just when I think we’ve finally won, a new threat appears, one we never saw coming. And as I stand beside her, I can’t help but wonder: will my loyalty be enough to keep us both alive, or has our trust come too late?
