SOLD TO THE GANG LEADER
Adriana Hayes never knew the true nature of her father’s dangerous life until he sold her. Now, she’s been handed over to Hunter Rivers, one of the most feared and powerful gang leaders in the city.
Cold, ruthless, and determined to keep control over everything around him, Hunter doesn’t hesitate to claim Adriana as his own. What he doesn’t expect is the spark between them a spark that challenges everything he’s built his empire on. Adriana, caught between fear and attraction, finds herself torn between wanting to escape and the undeniable pull she feels toward the man who now holds her captive.
As the days pass, their dangerous dance of power, control, and desire grows more complicated. Adriana discovers that beneath Hunter’s cold exterior lies a man who may have his own demons and the more she learns, the harder it becomes to keep her distance. But in a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is always lurking, falling for the enemy could be the most dangerous choice of all.
Will Adriana remain strong and fight for her freedom, or will she surrender to the passion that threatens to consume them both?

Chapter: Chapter 8: Unspoken RulesAdriana’s POVI finished the last file, my fingers aching from flipping through papers and typing out details I didn’t care about. The room was too quiet, too still. Time stretched endlessly between me and whatever punishment he had planned.A sudden knock on the door made me jump.Hunter didn’t step inside when the door creaked open—his voice alone carried the weight of command.“Downstairs. Now.”I rose slowly, every movement tense. The house felt colder as I followed him. He didn’t speak as we walked, just led the way to the living room and stopped by a side table near the wall.There, resting on the polished surface, was my phone.He picked it up and turned it in his hand once.Then his eyes locked onto mine.“You don’t need this anymore.”My brows furrowed. “What?”“You don’t get to keep secrets from me,” he said flatly. “You don’t get to spy. Or eavesdrop. Or question what I allow and what I don’t.”My heart kicked. “I didn’t—”“You did,” he interrupted sharply. “And now you liv

Chapter: Chapter 7: Chains of JealousyAdriana's POVThe sunlight creeping in through the curtains warmed my face, but I didn’t move.I lay still, curled under the blankets, eyes closed like I hadn’t heard a thing last night. Like I hadn’t frozen at the sound of his voice. Like I didn’t spend the rest of the night staring at the wall with my back to him while his arm stayed possessively around my waist.When I felt him shift behind me, I forced my breaths to stay steady.“Morning,” he muttered.I hummed a soft sound in response, like I’d just woken up like I didn’t hear him say she doesn’t know yet.“Sleep okay?” he asked.I nodded, still not looking at him. “Mm-hmm.”There was a pause. Then the bed shifted as he got up.“Breakfast will be ready downstairs.”And just like that, he was gone.The moment the door shut behind him, I opened my eyes. My chest felt tight, like something heavy was sitting on it.She doesn’t know yet.I did now.I slipped out of bed slowly, letting my feet touch the cool floor. The silence in the r

Chapter: Chapter 6: Meet The DynastyAdriana's POVI stood in the bathroom, towel clutched to my chest, heart still thundering from what had just happened. My skin buzzed where he’d touched me not just his hand, but his voice. The way he said I was his…It shouldn’t have made my stomach flutter. It shouldn’t have left me staring at the wall like some lovesick idiot.I didn’t want to like him.But I couldn’t lie to myself anymore not completely.There was something about Hunter Rivers that made it impossible to think straight. He was danger dressed in leather and silence. He confused me. One minute he was cold, the next… possessive. And not the kind of possessive that felt cruel the kind that made my chest ache in ways I didn’t understand.I stepped into the shower, turning the water hot enough to sting, scrubbing hard like I could wash the memory of his voice off me.But no matter how hot the water ran, I couldn’t shake him.By the time I came out, wrapped in a towel, he was gone. Good. I needed space.But of course, spa

Chapter: Chapter 5: What He Calls HomeAdriana's POVHunter opened a door at the end of the hall and stepped aside, motioning for me to enter.I hesitated, then stepped inside and immediately froze.The room was massive, like the rest of the house, but it didn’t feel lived in. The walls were a deep gray, the furniture sharp-edged and expensive. A king-sized bed dominated the center, dressed in black sheets that matched the heavy curtains drawn tight across the windows. A single dim lamp glowed in the corner, casting long shadows.It looked like something out of a movie. Cold. Luxurious. Lifeless.“This is…” I trailed off, unsure what to say.“Our bedroom,” Hunter said simply, brushing past me. He threw his jacket onto a leather chair and sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees. “Get used to it.”I stood near the doorway, arms wrapped around the present like a shield. “Do you always decorate like you’re trying to intimidate someone?”That earned me a glance. Not a smile. Just a glance.He leaned back slightly, expre

Chapter: Chapter 4: New Walls, New ChainsAdriana's POVI wasn't sure what to say; words seemed to slip away the moment I saw him.He was undeniably hot. His muscular frame commanded attention, and his jawline, sharp and defined, gave his face an almost dangerous allure.Is this Hunter?The man my brother warned me about?"A-are you Hunter?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper."That would be me," he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. His confidence was unnerving, and yet… oddly magnetic.Well… this might not be as bad as I thought."What's in the box?" he asked, nodding toward the present in my lap.I glanced down, suddenly aware of it again. That's when it hit me. The car was moving. We had already left my house."I-I don't know," I said quietly. "I'm supposed to open it later."Hunter let out a low chuckle, the sound rough and unsettling. Without warning, he shifted closer, closing the space between us until I could feel his presence press into mine."While we're still on good terms," he said calmly, "t

Chapter: Chapter 3: Who Is Hunter Rivers?Adriana's POV"What do you mean you sold me?" I asked, my voice trembling."I sold you," he sighed, looking down."To who??" Mom yelled, her face contorted with anger. "Why?""Hunter Rivers," Dad gritted his teeth and huffed."Hunter Rivers?" Dylan raged, clearly furious."Who's Hunter Rivers?" I asked, my frustration growing. But no one answered me."Why on earth did you sell her to Hunter Rivers??" Mom yelled, her voice shaking with disbelief. "Why did you sell her in the first place?!""I didn't have a choice!!!" Dad snapped, his eyes wild. "Here were my options: watch him kill all of you, or give him Adriana. Luckily, he bought her for $100,000,000. But she has to move in with him… today.""Today?!" I argued, feeling my heart race. "I just got here! And I don't even know who Hunter Rivers is!!".Dad sighed and motioned for me to follow him. We all followed him into his office, and he told me to sit down. He took his seat behind the desk and let out another heavy sigh."Now Adriana
