I Became A Slave To The Man I Abandoned

Years ago, Knox Rainerio made a painful choice—turning away the one person who loved him most, believing it was the only way to protect him from the darkness that followed him. That boy, Khalid Via, vanished from his life without a word. Now, fate brings them together again—though not as the same people they once were. Khalid, no longer the innocent youth, returns as a war-hardened commander at the side of the newly crowned Emperor. And in the wake of a bloody power shift, the Emperor offers Knox to Khalid as a reward—declaring it his duty to do with him as he pleases. Bound by loyalty, betrayal, and memories they can’t escape, Knox and Khalid are thrust into a twisted game of power, longing, and redemption. Scars from the past run deep, but the tension between them runs deeper. Is it vengeance that drives Khalid? Or something far more dangerous—love that refused to die?
