"You can run Maya, but you know there's no escaping me. You belong to me, and me alone. No mortal ties, no earthly chains can keep you from what is destined."
"You don’t own me, Tay! I’m not some prize to be claimed! I’ll fight you, I’ll—"
"Fight all you want, little flame. It only makes your surrender all the sweeter. You’ve already felt it … the connection between us. It's not a matter of ownership, but inevitability. You are mine!"
"No… I can’t…"
He approached her as his voice softens, becoming a dark, seductive whisper as his hand moves to cup the back of her neck, pulling her closer until their lips nearly touch. "Stop denying what you already know, what we both feel. You crave the darkness as much as it craves you. There is no 'can’t'… only 'when.'"
Her body trembles with a mix of fear and undeniable desire. She knows she should resist, but the intensity of his gaze, the heat of his touch, were driving her body crazy. Her breath hitches as her defenses crumble, a whisper escaping her lips. "And what… if I say 'when'?"
A slow, wicked smile curls his lips as he leans in, his voice a dark promise, "Then, my love, eternity begins."

Maya, the cherished daughter of Kai and Elena, has always lived a life of privilege and love. Raised as a beloved princess, she’s had everything she could ever want — except the answers to the questions that haunt her. Why do her parents seem to shelter her more than her twin brother, Kaian? Why does she feel a magnetic pull toward the strange, shadowy presence in her dreams?
On her 18th birthday, Maya’s world shatters when she uncovers a devastating secret: her soul was promised to a demon prince long before she was born, a deal struck by her own mother to save her pregnant herself. Betrayed and heartbroken, Maya distances herself from those she once trusted, determined to find a way to break the contract that binds her to the demon, as she finds consolation in the arms of her new boyfriend.
But as time passes, Maya’s fate takes a dark turn. Kidnapped by Tay, the very demon she’s tried to evade, she’s thrust into the Underworld — a realm of shadows and ancient power where the games of power are deadly.
Tay, the youngest son of the Devil himself and a human mother, is a strikingly handsome yet cunning outcast, often underestimated by his powerful brothers. Despite being ignored most of the time, his sneaky nature and sharp intellect make him a force to be reckoned with.
Since he made the deal on an impulse, Tay has waited for Maya to mature, his patience growing thinner with each passing day. When he discovers she’s involved to a mere mortal, his fury knows no bounds and his patience snaps as he kidnaps her and bring her to the Underworld.
Trapped in the underworld, Maya struggles to resist the undeniable pull she feels toward Tay, fighting to return to her mortal fiancé.
But Tay is equally determined as he knew that he would never let her go, no matter what.
In a world where betrayal and desire intertwine, Maya must decide whether to continue fighting for her freedom or to embrace the darkness — and the demon — she’s been bound to her entire life.
Will Maya find a way to break free, or will she succumb to the destiny that was sealed before her birth?
