The Masterpiece of His Malice
By @john1208
Lyra Vance, a vibrant street artist whose canvases hum with raw emotion, finds her world crumbling when her younger sister's rare illness demands a fortune she doesn't have. Desperate, she pours her soul into a defiant mural – a silent scream for help. Unbeknownst to her, it catches the cold, calculating eye of Alistair Thorne, a reclusive billionaire art mogul notorious for acquiring not just art, but artists. He offers a lifeline: an astronomical sum in exchange for exclusive control over her talent, her future, and perhaps, her very spirit. His touch, a silken caress of power, sends shivers down her spine, promising both salvation and a gilded cage. Lyra is thrust into his opulent, suffocating world, where every brushstroke is dictated, every emotion scrutinized. If she fails to meet his impossible standards, or dares to defy him, her sister’s fate hangs in the balance, and Lyra fears her art, and her heart, will be consumed by his insatiable obsession.
