My spouse. My tormentor.
The city’s most infamous figure extends an employment opportunity to me.
I am to assume the role of his deceased wife.
Adrian Volkov doesn’t accept refusal easily.
His directives are unwaveringly obeyed, enforced with an unyielding grip.
Faced with his proposition, I confront two alternatives.
Either face imprisonment or subject myself to his fury.
Opting for a shelter over my head seems simple enough. After all, how hard could acting be, right?
Incorrect.
The instant I step into his wife’s shoes, all semblance of order disintegrates.
Survival hinges on my reliance upon Adrian.
Or does it?
