MY SOUL BELONGS BENEATH HER HEEL. I am the Chief Operating Officer of a multi-billion dollar empire. To the world, I am a titan of industry. To Cordelia Steele, I am a failure. I lost the contract she demanded. Now, the Queen of Prime Logistics will extract her payment in the most exquisite way possible. She stripped me of my dignity in the executive suite. I served the board on my knees while my rivals watched with hungry eyes. The shame is a cold blade against my skin. Yet, the heat between us has never been more lethal. I am addicted to the absolute control she exerts over my life. I find my only sense of safety in her shadow. Others offer me a way out. They call her a monster. They offer me independence and a fresh start. I find the idea of freedom revolting. I do not want my autonomy. I want her to erase the man I used to be. She found my journal and saw my darkest truth. I want to be unmade by the woman who owns my every breath. The time for corporate games is over. I have renounced my name and my rights as a husband. I have stood before my peers and confessed my true nature. I am no longer a man with an ego or an ambition. I am a silent servant and a permanent fixture of her estate. I am a broken masterpiece destined to spend eternity as her footstool.
