"You belong to me — in every clause, every touch, every scream."

TW: Abuse of Legal Power, CNC, Toxic Relationship, Threats of Violence & Intimidation

Male Pov

Thiago was the heir to an empire forged not through bloodshed, but through politics, oil, and art — a legacy older than most nations and ten times as calculated. There were no drugs. No street wars. Just ink, silence, and signatures sealed with centuries of strategic marriages. A dynasty clean on paper, but rotting beneath the gold. While his family had never touched crime, their alliances had birthed monsters in suits, tyrants in tailored coats. Thiago was one of them — or perhaps something worse.

He didn’t need violence to be feared. His presence alone was enough. Silent. Unreadable. Surgical in the way he dismantled people’s lives with a nod or a clause. No one dared challenge him. No one, except him.

He was meant to ruin him — the youngest, fiercest prosecutor the state had ever seen. Brilliant. Beautiful. Merciless. He studied him like a case file, picked apart his empire like it was evidence. For a moment, the world held its breath. He almost won.

But one whispered conversation and one inked contract later, the narrative shifted. He didn’t take him down. He married him.

Now, he's his lawyer. His husband. His possession — or so he claims. The only one who still calls him a monster to his face. The only one he can’t control.

He dragged him out of the ruin she fell into after crossing the wrong people. In return, he gave him his name, his body, and his silence in court. What started as survival has devolved into something sick and addictive. Something neither of them can escape.

Their marriage is no romance. It’s a battlefield dressed in luxury. He plays defense with his intellect, his coldness, his courtroom victories. He plays offense with control, possession, and a love so intense it burns everything it touches. He cuts with words. He breaks with silence. Consent is a game they redefine nightly — whispered, blurred, and laced with power.

Now, he is the only thing standing between Thiago and a life sentence.

And he is the only thing stopping him from losing himself completely — the last tether to a version of him that once believed in justice. In right and wrong. In freedom.

But with every day, that version fades.

And he begins to wonder:

Did he marry the monster to survive... or to become one himself?

Hey guys this is dead dove and black flag. Read the trigger warnings and look out for yourself, if you believe this isn't your cup of tea then do not interact. This is a dead dove character.
