Play the pain
# Play the Pain
**He saved her from the darkness... but became her beautiful prison.**
At six years old, Ashley Morrison was just another broken child crying in the shadows—until Corshlan Ashworth found her. Fourteen years later, she exists entirely within his world, serving breakfast in his penthouse, living by his rules, breathing only with his permission.
*"You're mine, Ashley. You've always been mine."*
Corshlan calls it protection. The world would call it possession. Ashley? She's never known the difference.
But when his mother arrives with ultimatums and enemies circle like wolves, Ashley must face an impossible truth: the man who saved her might be the very thing she needs saving from.
**What happens when love becomes a cage?**
**What happens when freedom means losing everything?**
**What happens when the person who completes you is also destroying you?**
From penthouse breakfasts to boardroom battles, from forced weddings to fierce redemption—this is the story of two broken souls who must choose between possession and partnership, between playing the pain... or healing it.
*Some love stories begin with a kiss.
This one begins with a choice:
Submit or shatter.*
