At seventeen, Rhyden Vale killed his father for raising his voice at his mother. Now twenty-four, he's survived the system—dragged through cells, beaten by A-rank inmates, and numbed to pain, both physical and emotional.
Crystal Lavelle is not intrigued by people. She's studied them, dissected them, and lost faith in everything that made her human. A divorced woman. A failed mother. A criminal system doctor. When her eyes rest on Rhyden, it isn’t fascination—it’s curiosity. Cold. Clinical. Materialistic.
She doesn’t want him. She wants to observe him. To test reactions. To see what breaks when nothing else does.
This isn’t love. This isn’t healing.
This is The Obedience Project — where monsters meet silence, and curiosity becomes cruelty.
