The Scent of Deception
Threatened by her fiancé with her father’s life, Chloe is forcibly claimed by Victoria, an icy female professor, at her own engagement party. Behind Victoria’s elegant, untouchable facade lies a dangerously obsessive woman who has spent ten years plotting to make Chloe hers, trapping her in a gilded cage where love and control become impossible to separate. As Chloe repeatedly attempts to escape, their intense cat-and-mouse game reveals an unexpected truth: she is the only weakness of Victoria, the formidable heiress to a financial empire. When family opposition and ruthless enemies threaten to tear them apart, Victoria is willing to sacrifice everything and destroy the underworld itself to keep Chloe by her side. But the innocent rabbit is no longer content to remain prey. Awakening into a dark lotus, Chloe begins to challenge Victoria’s dominance, drawing them into a volatile struggle of obsession, power, and desire. As their boundaries blur, the two women spiral toward a dangerous bond in which neither is willing to surrender control—or let the other go.
