That morning, two men had brought me clothes to me that I would wear to attend the meeting with Silas.He didn't tell me what kind it was and I was too embarrassed to ask after he had caught me pleasuring myself. It was a pair of black pants, a black tank top, and a furry black overcoat to go with it.As I walked out of the bedroom, my gaze caught Silas standing in front of his bedroom door. He turned in my direction. I immediately heard the door shut, and his hands slipped into his pockets.My cheeks flushed red with embarrassment as I recalled last night's memories. I pressed my lips together as I walked closer to him, his gaze following me with each step.He reached for my coat and adjusted it. “You look… pretty.”Seriously, who calls a boy pretty? I looked away from him, nervous sweat dripping down the sides of my face.My breath hitched as I suddenly felt Silas’s warm hand on my chin. “What are you thinking about?” he asked in a low tone as he tilted my head to face him.“Nothin

I couldn't explain how overwhelmed I was when the doctors told me that the tumor had been removed.I had gone to the hospital immediately after I left Silas's house; it was 12:00 midnight. They started immediately and finished at 4:00 in the morning.Emma had woken up hours later after the anesthetic had worn off. She still looked frail, her eyes were still yellow, but she spoke with life in her, and that gave me hope.“Where did you get the money, Arthur?” She asked in a low tone.I blinked. How could I tell her that I was married to a man?Even if I could, that would be breaching the contract I had signed; I couldn't tell anyone. “I took out another loan,” I said as I stroked her blond hair off the sides of her face.The doctors said she would have to stay seven more days so that they could watch her. I went out that day to clear all my debts and set myself free. But there was one issue: after clearing my debts, there was barely enough to send Emma back to school when she had fully

Silas’s compound was filled with men armed with guns, all dressed in black suits and with stern expressions on their faces.“The boss has been expecting you,” one of the men said, as he led me into the gigantic mansion.I looked around in awe. Silas Vance was indeed as wealthy as people rumored he was. His walls were decorated with paintings; he sure didn't seem like the art kind.On his ceilings were chandeliers engraved with literal gold. The air, though it smelled of cigars, also smelled expensive.As we reached the top floor, the man who had walked me here suddenly stopped. I turned to face him, a confused expression on my face, “Why did you stop?”He clasped both of his hands before him as he spoke, “The boss doesn't allow anybody on this side of the mansion, but he had requested that you should be let in when you come.” He stretched his hand in the direction of Silas' bedroom, “The last door in this hall, knock on it.”My gaze fell to his hips, and a cold shiver ran down my spin

Arthur's POV.One of the most powerful Mafia bosses in New York had just asked me to marry him.Yes, me.A straight guy who was just trying to make ends meet.Crazy, right?Well, I'll explain how I got here.Two years ago, both of my parents died in a car accident, and I was left to care for my little sister. I worked part-time jobs and took out loans, trying to make ends meet.Now I'm twenty-two years old, still struggling.Worse?Three weeks ago, my eleven-year-old sister was diagnosed with brain cancer, and two hundred thousand dollars had to be deposited before they could remove the tumor.I was heartbroken and frustrated.Where would I get such an amount of money? I barely made anything from my part-time job. I couldn't let my sister die, either.I had pleaded with the doctors to start the treatment and I'd pay them, but they had told me that they couldn't start unless I deposited.Luckily, a friend of mine hooked me up with a job at a night club as a waiter. The pay was not enou
