Being in the power of the most terrible enemy—something like that happens only on stage. That’s what I thought—until I was chained with a deadly spell to the hated Duke de Morten, who will gladly turn my life into hell. His help has too high a price, but otherwise it’s impossible to find the one who did me such a favor. Obedience and submission? Just another role! I can play, and feelings for an actress are too much luxury.
