Se connecterCarol Rivers was used to playing with fire, and she lived her life by her own rules—until she fell for the wrong man. Antonio Conte was an older man who seemed to have it all, and Carol couldn’t resist his charm. But their fiery romance is cut short when she catches him cheating. His betrayal shattered her, and she drowned her sorrows with alcohol, only to end up in the bed of a dashing stranger after a heated one-night stand. Carol had yet to come to terms with her break up with Antonio when he appeared again, but this time he claimed her by force, kidnapping her and holding her against her will. Her rejection had set him off, and she realized he wasn’t a normal man, but a ruthless mafia lord. Now forced to become his sex slave, Carol is robbed of her freedom. But what happens when she meets the stranger from her one-night stand, and he turns out to be the son of the man she despises the most? Caught between father and son, Carol becomes a pawn in an explosive game of lust and power. Will she break free from the chains of her fate? Or will she burn it in the crossfire?

After putting the immediate enemies I was briefed about, I decided I was going to hunt down the moles who plotted the downfall of my father of whom Giovanni and his daughter were chief.Their names circled in my mind endlessly and I knew what had to be done. So I ordered my men to get me information on their whereabouts and was told they were on the run.One fateful morning, I stepped into a plain outfit with loose tunic, faded trousers, hair tucked under a headscarf. Luca turned when he noticed me and nearly choked.“You’re disguising yourself again?”“I’m hunting,” I said simply. “She won’t come to me. So I’ll go to her.”We took two of my best undercover men, moving through the city like ghosts. Street after street, market after market. I didn’t expect it to be easy because women like Veronica survived by disappearing when the real threat surfaced.Hours passed. My feet burned. My shoulders ached. Luca walked close, his eyes scanning with the precision of a hawk. Then, in a run
The tunnel let out a cold, stale gust of air the moment Luca and I pulled the cover open. Dust curled through the air like tiny ghosts, and for a second I hesitated because whatever was waiting inside felt old. Ancient, almost like time itself had been sitting down there, waiting to be disturbed. We looked down the hole that had a narrow step that led to yet another.“I’ll go first,” Luca whispered, though his voice carried the same tremor in my chest.“No,” I whispered back. “We go together.”So we climbed down, one cautious step at a time, palms sliding along damp walls. The moment our feet hit the floor properly, the lights flickered, buzzed and then flooded the tunnel with a warm glow that looked so golden.I looked around and saw treasure boxes in their dozens all stacked high, some covered with old clothes as if someone had tried to protect them from dust, or from prying eyes. There were weapons beside some, files beside others, and a faint scent of cedar that made me think
“What the hell is going on, huh? Why isn't he picking up?” Giovanni asked, looking clearly pissed.The tension in the room sharpened until it felt like the walls themselves were listening.Vince’s voice trembled as he tried again, desperate, hopeful in that foolish way only someone cornered could be.“If I do this,” he asked again, swallowing hard, “you’ll let us go, right? You’ll… you’ll let us walk free?”Giovanni snapped before he even finished.“Enough!” he barked, the sound bouncing off the concrete. “Get through with it already.”Vince flinched like the yell hit him physically. His lips pressed together, eyes darting helplessly toward his mother, Anna who lay slumped in the chair, breathing unevenly, her entire face drawn tight with pain. She shook her head weakly, silently begging him not to trust the devil holding the knife but it didn’t matter. Giovanni was already dialing again, tapping at the secure phone with growing irritation.“Is this the right number you gave me or ar
“What’s with the low jabs and all? Don’t ya’ll have something to do or are we suddenly having a family meeting that I wasn't aware of?” He asked with a frown looking directly from Veronica’s face to Luca.Luca looked at him and lifted both of his hands up in a mock surrender, his lips pressing toge
“Pursued,” I chuckled and almost burst into a loud laugh but I held it in and shot him a look with a straight face.As I was still talking to Antonio, I heard footsteps outside the compound. They were heavy and uneven, like boots grinding against gravel. I paused and headed towards the window agai
I remained rooted to the same spot, looking at the spot Veronica had just exited, her words still echoed faintly in my head, and my fingers felt numb from gripping my own arms so tightly. I wanted to call her back and question the hell out of her but she has evidence of myself and Luca making out
If what she said was true, that someone had been killed and that I was being watched, then it is worthy of being taken into consideration.I felt a sudden urge to leave the store, to run out into the open air but I forced myself to stay calm, moving slowly and stylishly scanning the faces around me
