Red is the color of love, but also of war-the first cut of the blade and the last drop of blood. It is the shade of a bride's lips and a killer's hands. And in the end, we are all stained by it.

They taught me how to take what I wanted: patience, precision, a quiet hand and an appetite cloaked in silk. I learned the languages of debt and devotion, of favors repaid in whispers and promises kept in blood. Milan taught me polish; the rest of the world taught me how to break a heart without spilling the wine.
You will read this and think you know the story: a bargain, a bride, a man crowned by his sins. But know this... what you will taste is not simple cruelty. It is a devotion that shades into obsession, a worship that hurts because it is kept pure and terrible. I do not love gently. I love like a war: precise, relentless, inevitable. I will claim what is mine and I will teach you how beautiful surrender looks under candlelight.
If you come in expecting a hero, leave him at the door. If you come for warmth, find another page. If you come to be claimed, to be tested, to have your silence filled with someone who understands how to make desire a law... then step closer. Kneel if you must. Pray if you want. In the end, you will know the sound of my name, and it will feel like thunder beneath your skin.
