"Some cages feel like safety… until you fall in love with your captor." Leona has spent her life escaping—from homes that felt like prisons, from scars no one sees, from a past that keeps dragging her back. At seventeen, homeless and hunted, she crashes into the life of Marco De Santos—a billionaire with ice in his eyes, secrets in his past, and a twisted need for control. He takes her in. At first, it’s charity. Then, it’s ownership. Marco is used to women obeying. But Leona isn’t like them. She’s fire in silk. She disobeys. She challenges. She learns him—in ways that terrify and undo him. What begins as protection becomes obsession. And when secrets unravel the truth about her parents, about his past, and about the dark connection binding them—everything explodes. As the world threatens to pull them apart, Leona must decide: will she stay the girl he saved, or become the woman who saves him? Because pleasure can heal... or destroy.

Leona: I am Eighteen today. Finally. I stared at myself in the mirror in the bathroom, as I grazed my soft fingers on my bare skin, just beneath the towel that was wrapped low covering my breast. I was finally a woman, or so, as I still felt incomplete. My friend, Cassie, would say that when we turn eighteen that's when you'll want things. Feel things. Cassie was always naughty even before she turned eighteen it was one thing I liked about her that I didn't have. Her exposure to naughty things. She was always talking wild, whispering about stuffs she did with her crush whenever she hanged out with them, how they would finger her till she cum more especially... Sex. I always carved to experience it but I felt guys took me to be a minor and I made me burn inside. Jealous maybe. I slowly let loose of my towel as it fell on the floor as I took a full look of my body at the mirror. Before my memory could collect I found myself looking at the soft curve of my breast. I touched the side, slowly, and I couldn't tell how i felt. It was soft. Sensitive. When I brushed my thumb over my pink nipple, I saw it stiffen as I felt tingles down my pussy. I wondered what it’d feel like if someone else touched it. A boy. A man. Did it feel dirty? Good? Wrong? Or all of it at once? Rubbing my belly I led my two fingers down my clit. Feeling the wetness as I felt a little noise slipped from my mouth. I didn't mean to make it. I was alone. I should've been safe. I could touch if I wanted to. Then I heard BANG. I jumped so hard I knocked over the toothbrush cup. It hit the floor with a clatter. “Leona!” His voice. Thick, dragging across the walls. Slurred like he’d poured the bottle down his throat on the way home. “Open this goddamn door!” Panic punched the air out of my lungs. He was home. My adopted father. Drunk. As usual. I pressed my hands to the sink. My breath came fast and shaky. I didn’t want to go out there. But if I didn’t… he’d tear the door off like he had last time. The knob still had scratches from that night. “You’re eighteen now,” I whispered to myself. “You don’t have to be scared.” That was a lie. But I quickly wore my pajamas as I rushed downstairs to open the door. But he was already in the living room. He had polluted the house with beer and stale cigarettes. The lamp was knocked over. Couch cushion was a mess. He stood with one boot still half off, shirt unbuttoned and hanging open over his gut. His belt was unlooped, dangling from one hand. His eyes—God—his eyes didn’t look like they knew who I was. “Birthday girl,” he slurred, grinning like a maniac. “My baby’s all grown up.” At least he remembers my birthday. But something wasn't right with the way he said it. “You’re drunk,” I said quietly. “You should go lie down.” “Why would I lie down,” he said, stepping closer, “when you matured, my little slut?” I backed away. “I’ll call someone.” “Who?” His laugh was wet, mean. “Ain’t nobody comin’. Nobody’s ever gonna come for you.” His hand shot out and grabbed my arm. I flinched, tried to pull away. “Let me go.” “I took care of you,” he hissed. “All these years. My house, my food. I could've done this long ago, but you were a child. You think it was all for free, huh? I was waiting for you to be ripe, so I could eat you when I want to?” “No.” My voice was thin as I broke down in tears, pathetic. My courage was already failing me. “You don’t mean that dad.” “I mean every inch of it. Dolly.” He yanked me close. His fingers gripped my jaw, tilted my face up. I could smell the beer on his breath. His other hand touched my cheek, then slid down to my waist. The tank top I wore clung wet to my chest. “Stop,” I whimpered. “You’re not—You can’t—” He ignored me. He tore my tank top as my breasts fell to his face. Without hesitation he slid his hands over my breast. His thumb brushed the nipple. My insides squirmed in pleasure but my body did otherwise. He is my father I can't let this happen. I tried to push him away but he was stronger. I panicked. If I screamed, he might hit me. If I stayed still, he might take more. He was muttering things under his breath—gross things. Stuff I never wanted to hear from anyone, especially not him. “Please,” I whispered. “I’m your daughter. You’re drunk. You don’t mean it.” “Daughter my foot,” he growled. “I had been enduring till this moment.” His hands went to my trouser as he tore it open too and I was completely naked. He held my both hands with his one hand as he turned to pin me to the wall, revealing his fully erected dick to pull inside my pussy. That was it. Something in me snapped. I kneed him in the leg. Not hard enough to drop him, but enough to make him grunt. I shoved him back with all my weight. He grabbed at hair trying to drag me backwards but I kicked him harder this time. I covered myself, and ran for the front door. He lunged after me, cursing. “You ungrateful little—” I snatched my yellow raincoat off the hook as I sprinted through the hallway. He almost caught the edge of my sleeve. I slammed the door behind me and tore down the porch steps into the rain. It hit me like ice. The wind slapped my face, drenched my hair in seconds. Thunder cracked over my head, close and angry. I ran barefoot, legs splashing through puddles. The sidewalk was slick. I tripped on a curb, scraped my knee, but I didn’t stop. I didn’t even cry. The adrenaline was louder than the pain. Somewhere behind, he was yelling. His voice faded with every step I took. Streetlights flickered. My breath came out in clouds. I was freezing, wet, scared, but I wasn't planning on turning around. I walked down the street aimlessly. I didn't have any money. I thought of calling Cassie but I didn't have my phone. My adopted father broke it months ago one night I attempted to call the cops on him. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t have money. My phone was inside, somewhere under the couch maybe, probably dead. All I had was my stupid yellow coat and a racing heart. A set of headlights cut through the darkness. I tried to wave it down, but my knees buckled. The light got brighter—too bright. I felt the thud before I heard it. Everything spun.I'm his submissive Leona POV I lay curled in the corner of my room, light creeping through the curtains, drawing thin stripes across my skin. Blankets tangled around me like child’s toy. My chest still beats fast from yesterday’s memory—his voice, the way he pressed me against the wall, the hunger in his voice, the fierce clench of his hands in my hair. It shouldn’t feel so… right. But it was. So impossibly right. Memories of him come back in vivid shards: his lips skimming my jaw, his fingers clutching me like he was afraid of losing something precious. I feel torn—like I’m both undone and made whole in the same moment. My body still tingles, wanting more while my heart braces for the ache that always follows. Tears prick my eyes, soft and steady. I bite my lip, trying to stop them. It doesn’t matter that I cry. Every time I think I've escaped his gravity, he radiates back: his heat, his power, his command. And I… I still wante
Marco’s POVSun ray spat against the windows as I returned from the penthouse terrace, suppressing the chill that had nothing to do with the weather. I was trying to get some soft air. I entered the house, it was surprisingly quiet. I had gone out for a chill air after Leona slammed her door at me.But as soon as I stepped into my bedroom, I felt it shift. A figure against the far wall, silhouetted under the soft glow of the hallway lamp.It was Veronica. Her silhouette was familiar—the curve of her hips, the sharp rise of her chin. My breath stalled. The air smelled of expensive perfume, cedarwood and honey, but there was something off: a metallic tang of tension.I closed the distance in two steps—my bespoke loafers clicking on marble. Veronica stood unmoving, arms crossed too tightly, fingers clutching slender forearms like she’d needed to ground herself. Her lips were pale, eyes glittering with something between accusation and agony. “Why didn’t yo
I MISS MY MOTHER'S PENDANT Leona’s POVHis gaze landed on me. I stood there shaking. He made approach. As I moved back a bit. Staring at his unreadable eyes.Without a word, he turned and walked away. I stumbled into my room.Slamming the door. I dropped to the floor. The storm hit me—grief, rage, shame, betrayal. I cried hard, broken.I stared at my palm. The scar of the injury I sustained when I was 17.The night my foster father came home drunk, he was dripping anger as usual. I had gone to bed early, hiding under blankets until the fuzzy call of sleep took me. But he’d kicked the door open, angry—vodka mouth, fists ready. He screamed, delivered questions like bullets: “Why will you sleep without waiting for me, huh?”I remember hugging the locket so tight it cut into my skin. He saw it, his face twisted. He grabbed it, dragged it away like it belonged to him. We struggled. The chain snapped. When he hit me hard, again and again the pen
I'M FALLING FOR HIMLeona POV I woke to the weight of his body beside me and the soft rustle of sheets. My skin still tingled from last night—pink, electric, numb in ways I didn’t think possible. I was still fully naked, wrapped in his white silky blanket. It smelled like him—cold linen, something deliciously dangerous. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. He’d stayed fully clothed; pants, shirt—everything except a tie. I shifted; the weight of his body beside me felt both safe and wrong in the same breath.I stared. He looked like a sleeping god—strong jaw, dark hair spilling across the pillow, eyelashes brushing his cheeks. His right hand lay on the pillow like it belonged there. I reached for it but stopped, fear and something else—want—knotting in my chest.He stirred. Eyelids fluttered. He lifted his gaze to mine, slow and calculating. I could almost hear the hum of electricity between us.“Morning,” he said softly. Voice low but steady.
I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUMarco POVI didn’t expect to see her. Hell, I wasn’t even supposed to be in the city tonight. “Shit,” I muttered, not even looking down.“It’s really you, I missed you”The voice wasn’t familiar at first. Till I turned to see a familiar face.Veronica Russo. The daughter of Darlington Russo. My ex fiancée. She stood in front of me in a tight gold dress, her lipstick smudged, eyes glossy with alcohol and something else—regret, maybe. She leaned in; her breath sweet with wine.“Do you remember the last time we saw each other?”“Barely.”She giggled. “Of course, you do. You left me at that fundraiser with your father ranting about ‘disrespect.’” Her tone soured.I didn’t answer.She stumbled to the streetlight glow, blinked a few times. “You look… you look more handsome than the last time I saw you.”“You don’t,” I said. Not out of cruelty. Just the truth.She laughed. Loud and bitter. “Still cold. S
THE SCAR THAT NEVER LEAVESMarco’s POVRain battered the shower glass, each drop echoing the tension in my chest. Steam curled into the dim light overhead, but I could still feel the storm in me—rage, guilt, panic. The day from hell replayed in my mind.The business meeting in Milan fell apart halfway through, which meant I could come back home. I had checked my phone every few minutes, expecting any feedback from her but nothing. So I decided to take a night flight back ahead of schedule.My flight was quiet, almost too quiet. I remember checking the sky and knowing it would rain—like it did the night I first saw her trembling in front of my car. Something about rain always brought trouble.By the time I got home, she wasn’t back from her lesson. It was past 10pm. I brought out my phone to track her through her phone’s GPS, thankfully she turned on her location. I thought of calling her but I didn’t want to appear clingy. I felt just to check on her fr
