“It’s fine,” the stranger said to Anna. “You can go home and cry over your ex, or you can come with me.” Anna swallowed. Her heart thudded hard in her chest. “I’m not asking for anything you don’t want,” he added. “But if you want to stop thinking about him, I’ll help you do that.” “Okay,” she replied. The stranger moved closer to Anna, slow but sure, closing the space between them. His hand came up, firm and unhurried, gripping her jaw. His fingers were warm, slightly calloused. He tilted her face up, making her look at him. “Are you sure about this?” he asked, voice low and commanding. Anna swallowed, her pulse racing as she replied. “Yes. I want you to fuck me so hard that I forget about him.” *************************************** Anna Hawkins was never meant to fall into the arms of a stranger. But after walking in on her fiancé having sex with her best friend, pain dragged her into the shadows of a nightclub and into the arms of a man with cold eyes, inked skin, and a body that ruined her. Their night was supposed to mean nothing. But unforeseen circumstances throw Anna into a brutal world of power, crime, and possession. She’s no longer just heartbroken. She’s owned. And the most dangerous part? She doesn’t know how to escape.
View MoreVincenzo stood abruptly and stormed toward the safe, shoving Marco aside without a word. He knelt briefly to examine it, his eyes scanning the interior. The safe was completely empty. His jaw clenched as his eyes swept over the empty shelf, the missing blueprint hitting him with a surge of anger and disbelief.“Check the cameras,” Vincenzo growled, his voice low and dangerous. “I want to know who has the audacity to walk into my office and take the blueprint.”Marco nodded quickly, swallowing the unease in his throat. “Yes, Boss,” he muttered before hurrying out, the door clicking shut behind him. Vincenzo was left alone, the silence of the office pressing in, broken only by the faint hum of the AC and the rapid beating of his own anger. “Shit!” he yelled, slamming his fists on the desk.After several tense minutes, Vincenzo’s private office door opened, and Marco stepped back inside. Vincenzo remained at his desk, his shoulders stiff, eyes blazing, chest rising and falling, bef
~VINCENZO’S BEDROOM~Vincenzo stood by his wardrobe, wearing only black tailored pants as he slipped on a crisp white long-sleeve shirt. The morning sunlight streaming through the window washed over him, highlighting the lines of his body and outfit and enhancing the commanding presence he radiated.Vincenzo’s bedroom door swung open, and he turned at the sound, his expression hardening instantly.“Oh, V, don’t tell me you’re not happy to see me this morning,” Camila said, a teasing smirk playing on her lips as she leaned casually against the doorway.“I thought I told you to leave, Camila,” Vincenzo said, his voice firm and cold. “Why are you still here?” “Oh, come on. Stop acting like this,” Camila said, stepping into the room with a teasing confidence. She closed the distance between them, pressing her hands to Vincenzo’s chest and letting her fingers trace slow, lingering patterns. “I know you missed me… just like I missed you.”“I don’t,” Vincenzo said, his tone flat as he sho
A sharp, stabbing pain tore through Anna’s stomach, wrenching her awake. She doubled over, clutching her belly with both hands as a low groan slipped out from her lips. For a moment she focused only on breathing, waiting for the pain to ease. Anna’s eyes shifted to the clock on the nightstand. It read 5:02 a.m., leaving her less than thirty minutes before she had to report to what she now called ‘the maid assembly ground.’ She never understood why they had to gather there every morning. Martha could simply assign each maid a permanent duty instead of dragging them into an assembly day after day, only to reshuffle their duties again. Now, with Vincenzo back, today and the days ahead promised to be even more stressful. She would have to serve Vincenzo’s breakfast, clean his room, and even handle his laundry on top of her usual duties. At times, it felt as if they were deliberately punishing her. Anna pressed herself against the mattress, waiting for the ache in her body to ease
Camila froze, stunned by Vincenzo’s words. She glanced at him, then slowly scanned the sitting room. Everyone’s eyes were on her. Some quickly turned away, pretending they weren’t watching. Embarrassed, she turned her gaze back to Vincenzo. “What kind of question is that, V? I’m here because I missed you,” Camilla said, her voice trembling slightly but steadying as she spoke. Vincenzo ran a hand through his short, semi-curled hair, his expression tense as he struggled to control his anger. “Leave, Camila,” he said firmly. “What do you mean I should—” Camila started, but before she could finish, Vincenzo strode past her. She froze for a moment, shock on her face, and scanned the sitting room again, seeing everyone watching silently. Taking a deep breath, she hurried to follow Vincenzo. “V… wait, V…” she called, running after him. The maids and guards shifted into motion, moving in different directions to attend to their duties. Lucy was about to follow when her eyes la
“Lu—” Anna started, but before she could finish, Lucy stepped inside and pulled her into a warm hug. Anna froze for a moment, caught off guard, then let herself relax into the embrace. The warmth of Lucy’s presence made her chest feel lighter, and for the first time in a long while, Anna felt a sense of comfort. “I’ve missed you so much, Anna,” Lucy said. “I missed you more,” Anna replied, smiling. After a few seconds, Lucy pulled back. Anna gestured for her to sit, then quietly closed and locked the door. Lucy walked over and dropped onto Anna’s bed. “It feels good to be back,” she said, letting out a small sigh as she stretched her arms. “Really?” Anna asked, raising an eyebrow and tilting her head. “Well, not exactly,” Lucy said with a shrug. “But at least I get to be with you every day.” “Ooh…okay,” Anna murmured, a small smile tugging at her lips. Lucy stretched out on the bed, letting out a little yawn. “Gosh, I just got back and I’m already tired.” Anna wa
“James?” Anna breathed out, her voice low and uncertain. James turned at the sound of Anna’s voice, his expression shifting as his eyes met hers. “Oh, you are back,” he said quietly. Anna’s eyes immediately fixed on the abortion pill packet in his hand. James caught her gaze, glanced down at the packet, and then met her eyes again. “How did you get this?” Anna asked. “You mean this?” James asked, his eyes fixed on the abortion pill packet as he rolled it slowly between his fingers, turning it over in his palm. Anna remained silent. Her gaze moved from the pill in his hand to his face, her brows narrowing as she studied him. James let out a sigh and stepped closer. “I haven’t heard from you in a while, so I got worried and came to see you,” he said after a pause. “I sat on your bed and heard a noise. I thought the bed frame had broken, so I went to check—and that’s when I saw this.” He raised the packet in his hand. “You could have told me you were coming,” Anna said, st
