A woman's desperate deal with a demon leads her down a dangerous path of illicit desires and deadly consequences. ADORA When I'm told that my sister's terminal heart condition has left her with only a few short weeks left to live, I'm willing to do anything to save her - even if it means making a deal with a demon. Aviel is powerful and beguiling, with a magnetism that simultaneously frightens and compels me. His offer is simple - he would grant my sister the procedure that would save her life, but I would owe a debt, one that could cost me far more than I ever imagined - my freedom, my future, and my soul. More and more, Aviel becomes an ever-present force in my life, winding his way into my heart and mind - no matter how much I resist. I can't seem to stay away from him, and his presence in my life has become almost comforting. But, as my world slowly unravels, I recognize that Aviel may not be the hero he appears to be. There's something about him, something that suggests he's not just in this for the business. And now, as I find myself sinking deeper into his grasp, I'm starting to wonder whether I made a mistake. I fear that my deal with the devil will have far-reaching consequences beyond what I could have ever imagined. AVIEL Humans are so predictable. They'll do anything for their own selfish ends, even if it means making a deal with a demon like me. Adora is no exception. She's willing to risk everything for her dying sister, and I'm more than happy to take advantage of her desperation. But there's something different about her, something that I can't resist - her devotion, her fire, her ability to challenge me, and now she's starting to get under my skin. But our connection runs deeper, and her fiery spirit sets off an indescribable craving within me. I can't get her out of my head, and I don't want to. I can feel myself getting too attached, too involved. And that's a problem. I can't afford to let my impulses interfere with business. Adora is just a means to an end - a way to satisfy my own desires. But as the stakes get higher, I find myself questioning whether Adora is really just a pawn in my game. The line between fascination and obsession is growing thin, and I'm teetering dangerously close to the edge. I can feel my grip on the situation slipping, and I know I won't be able to let her go.
