Cursed Encounter

A vial of poison. A curse. A Halloween deadline for death.
And a witch at the center of it all.

I'm more than they thought I would be. The unclaimed son of a man who spent his life building his empire, and now it's mine. I've made it better. I've made it bigger. I run the unsightly part of this city. If you screw me, you'll end up regretting it for the rest of your life... if I let you live, that is.

If I learned one thing from my father, it's that there's no room for love in this life.
Love is weakness, and my enemies will use any weakness they can to get to me.
It's best not to have any.
And I live by that, satisfying my needs but never letting anyone sleep in my bed.
All it takes is one night to mess up my life. I slept with the wrong person, and now I'm dealing with the deadly side effects of a curse.
Astra. Her innocent beauty pulled me in.
As if that wasn't bad enough, she's the daughter of my biggest enemy. The one I can't take down because he has the kind of protection I can't get through.
Damn witches and their spells and their curses. I regret brushing off their magic despite the fact that it's all around.
Now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to break this curse while not letting her out of my sight.
Time is ticking. The countdown to the full moon has started, and it happens to fall on Halloween.
I'm not ready to die.
But it's not just about saving myself. I have to find a way to save her too.
