My Boyfriend Sold Me to the Wrong Man

Eva’s POVMy boyfriend tried to sell me off to pay his debt—except the mafia Don he picked was my brother. And that idiot had no idea just how protective my brother was… or how brutal he could be to anyone who dared hurt his family.Whatever was in the car knocked me out the moment I got in. Time passed—I could feel that much—but my body stayed limp, weak. Eventually, I felt my mind clawing its way back. Not fully, but enough to hear.Miles was on the phone. First call, he was yelling at someone for pushing him to repay a debt. Then the second call, it was a call to his mother, telling her he wouldn’t be making it to Christmas dinner.The third call was different. Miles’s tone dropped, soft and submissive. “Sir, I know it was generous of you to let me leave and try to gather the money I owe the casino, but I still couldn’t come up with everything. So—like you said—I brought my girlfriend tonight. Maybe we can try that thing you mentioned… you know, handing her over to your Don.”He hes

Eva’s POVHe leaned in, his breath warm against my cheek. “From day one, I planned to use that pretty face of yours to get something for myself.”“At first, it was the looks—the way other men stared, wondering how a guy like me landed someone like you.”“And now? You get to help pay off my debt.” Miles smirked, studying me. “Consider it an honor, Eva. It’s not like you were useful for anything else.”His words hit like another slap across my face.I remembered when I first met Miles. He wasn’t like the other chasers. He was quiet. He brought me flowers after my shows, picked me up from school, told me not to give up—no matter how many doors slammed in my face.I thought Miles was different. That he loved me for who I was—not for what I had, not for a pretty face or a powerful family.But I couldn’t have been more wrong.Up until now, I still wanted to believe money had driven Miles crazy. That this wasn’t who he really was.But the truth is—I never knew the real Miles.And the real Mi

Eva’s POVI nodded, still barely able to speak, but I forced out one word. “Theo…”Theo’s face went ghost white. I must’ve looked like hell.Snake, the idiot, completely misread the moment. “Don, this is the girl I was telling you about. Isn’t she something? I didn’t know you two already knew each other…”Theo didn’t answer. He was still holding my hand. I could feel him shaking. When Theo finally looked up— I saw it in his eyes, Snake and Miles were about to learn what real fear felt like.Theo gave my hand a quick squeeze, then stood and turned to face the room.Snake kept smiling, clueless. “Don, don’t be mad. She lied to me, said she was your sister. I mean—your sister? Never heard you had one. So I figured she was playing us. Just taught her a little lesson. For you.”Theo’s voice dropped, icy cold. “What did you do to her?”“Just a bit of whiskey,” Snake said, shrugging. “Slapped her a few times, nothing serious. Liars like her need to be put in place, right? If she ever spread

Eva’s POVTheo’s gaze didn’t waver. He looked straight into me, after a pause, he turned and handed me a glass of water. “What do you want to do with those scumbags?” he asked. “I haven’t made a final decision yet—I figured you might want a say.”Just hearing their names again—Miles, Snake—made my blood simmer. I glanced down at my bandaged ankle, the bruises blooming across my palm.“Miles owed the casino money?” I asked.Theo nodded. “Yes.”“Just twenty grand…” I gave a bitter little laugh, flexing my aching fingers. “Considering what he did to me, let’s call it a million now.”“Only a million?” Theo raised an eyebrow. “I was thinking more like a hundred.”“Even a million’s generous,” I said, voice dry. “And with the kind of job he has, he won’t be able to pay off even the interest.”I smiled faintly. “Doesn’t our factory in Mexico still need workers? Send him there.”Theo grinned. “He’ll rot in that place. He’ll never pay off a cent.”“As for Mr. Snake…” My smile faded.He hadn’t ju

Eva’s POV“It was only after your brother told me,” Miles rushed on, “that Snake made people lose money on purpose, then charged them insane interest. I didn’t know any of that. I swear—”I laughed softly and cut him off. “Stop lying, Miles. I wasn’t completely unconscious in your car. I heard everything.”His face went pale. “You can blame Snake for your debt,” I went on calmly, “but he didn’t drive me to the casino. He didn’t hand me over. You did. You’re not a victim—you’re an accomplice.”Miles broke down. “No… it wasn’t like that…”“And the things you said,” I continued. “About how dating me made you look good and how you never really liked me.”“That was just talk!” he cried. “I love you, Eva. I even planned to take care of you after—after everything. I wanted to marry you.”“Yes, you love me,” I said. “The kind of love that leaves bruises and breaks bones. That’s an interesting definition, don’t you think?”I shook my head. “Do you really think I’m that stupid?”“No, I didn’t me
