LOGINThe stranger moved closer, closing the space between him and Anna. His hand came up, gripping her jaw and tilting her face so she had no choice but to meet his gaze. “Are you sure about this?” he asked. Anna swallowed hard, her pulse racing. “Yes,” she breathed. “I want you to fuck me so hard I forget about my dickhead of a fiancé.” **************** Anna Hawkins was never supposed to fall into the arms of a stranger. But after walking in on her fiancé having sex with her best friend, pain drove her into the dark corners of a nightclub and straight into the arms of a man with cold eyes, inked skin, and a body that could ruin her. Their night was supposed to mean nothing. But unforeseen circumstances throw Anna into a brutal world of betrayal, power, crime, and possession. She wasn’t just heartbroken anymore. She was owned. And the most dangerous part? She didn’t know how to escape from her cruel fate.

Yes, my pregnancy hormones messing with my head,” she muttered to herself.Her hand drifted to her stomach, rubbing gently over the small but growing bump.It was already beginning to show, and she knew it wouldn’t be long before it became obvious to everyone.“I need to lie down,” she murmured. “Maybe if I rest… maybe my hormones will calm down, and I’ll be able to think straight again.”With a quiet sigh, she moved to the bed and eased herself down onto the mattress. The mattress dipped beneath her weight.Slowly, she lay back, letting her head sink into the pillow.The faint scent of Vincenzo clung to the sheet.Her breath stilled for a moment before she closed her eyes.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~When Anna woke, sunlight streamed through the window in thick ribbons of gold,warmer and brighter than before. Morning had quietly slipped into afternoon whil
Upon hearing Vincenzo’s voice, Anna’s breath caught.Shock rippled through her chest, tightening her lungs, and a lump rose in her throat.She swallowed hard, forcing it down, but it kept threatening to rise again.Vincenzo stood at the window, watching her with his grey piercing eyes. The cigarette burned slowly between his fingers, smoke spiraling upward."Are you done?" he asked again.Anna pushed herself off the couch. Her legs trembled beneath her, but she forced herself to stand."I wasn't—" Her voice came out too high.She cleared her throat and tried again. "I wasn't eye-fuc... I wasn't doing what you said I was doing."Vincenzo took a long drag from his cigarette. The tip glowed orange as smoke filled his lungs, and he let it out in a slow, controlled exhale.Then he moved, crossing the space between them with slow, measured steps. Trails of smoke followed him like a veil, curling over his shoulders and chest.He stopped directly in front of Anna, so close she could feel th
Anna froze, her fork hovering halfway to her mouth. Slowly, she lowered it back to her plate, the soft clink sounding far too loud in the sudden quiet. Every eye at the table turned toward her.Her eyes flicked around the table, landing on their expectant faces. Everyone was waiting—expecting her to say something. Anna’s thoughts spun wildly. She didn’t know what to say, knowing that telling the truth would only make Isabella ask questions she couldn’t bear to answer, yet she couldn’t bring herself to lie. “We met at…” she began, but her words faltered.“At where?” Isabella prompted gently. Anna swallowed. “We met at—”“We met at a restaurant,” Vincenzo cut in.Anna turned to him and caught a wide smile on his lips as their gazes locked.“Isn’t that right, mi amore?” he added, raising an eyebrow.“Yes,” Anna breathed out, too quickly. “Yes, that’s right.”“The minute I set eyes on Anna that day, I couldn’t look away. From that moment, I knew she was the one for me,” Vincenzo conti
Vincenzo’s words sent a chill down Anna’s spine, knocking the air from her lungs. Slowly, he pulled back, his dark eyes locking onto hers for a long, cold second, ensuring she felt every warning behind his words.Then he turned and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door firmly behind him. A moment later, the sound of running water filled the room.Anna remained rooted in place, the ghost of Vincenzo’s whisper still chilling her skin.Gathering herself, she closed the bedroom door and sank onto the edge of the bed.Vincenzo’s words echoed relentlessly in her mind, repeating over and over, leaving a hollow ache in her chest.Deep down, she knew he was right.She did not belong here.In a year, she would disappear from their lives, as if she had never existed at all.There was no point in getting close with them.By the time Vincenzo stepped out, Anna didn’t even notice; her gaze was fixed on the floor.The bathroom door clicked shut behind him, and a thin stream of steam drifted
