Before the Crown Falls

“Some kingdoms don’t crumble. They burn slowly… from within.”

There was no crown.
No coronation.
No scroll declaring them rulers.
Only a city that bowed when they walked in.
Only a silence that broke when they touched.
Only a legacy that started not with a kiss… but with fire.

James King.
A name that echoed across boardrooms and darkrooms alike. A mind sharp enough to encrypt your soul and leave you wanting more. A presence you didn’t survive — you surrendered to.

Ellie Sinclair.
Therapist. Empire-builder. She didn’t fall in love — she dismantled it. When she chose you, you didn’t feel lucky. You felt seen.

This is not a love story. This is about two icons sculpted from trauma, rage, and beauty— who dared to believe they could hold a crown together. But the weight? Oh, the weight. It changes you.

If you came for safe romance— Close the book.
If you came for war dressed in lace and sin— Welcome.

The kingdom was always burning.
