Captivating storyline. Appreciate the strength of the female lead and the other good female characters. Chapter 62 is a repeat of Chapter 61. Have a box of Kleenex beside you for Chapters 75 & 76. Loved the Epilogue.

Chapter One
Anya's POVBeing in a huge castle doesn’t mean you are really enjoying yourself.Just because you have all you need, that does not mean you are really happy. It can mean you are trapped. That was the feeling I had now. I felt trapped.Just because I am in a huge mansion, just because I have everything I want, people at my beck and call, didn’t mean I have everything I wanted. My life was a mess and I wasn't free to do anything I wanted.I was hit, slapped, beaten, degraded by the people I call my family. I so much wanted to leave this life.“Are you listening to me, Anya?” Aunt Alina asked.“Aunt, can you please leave me alone?” I scowled.“Mom! Call me mom, Anya.” Aunt Alina said, eyeing me.I scoffed, “I have told you times without number, Aunt, anytime we are alone in this prison,” I said referring to our house. “I will call you aunt because that is who you are. Only when we are in your so called parties or club or in front of uncle’s associates will I call you Dad or Mom. Other tha

Chapter Two
Anya's POV It was 9am in the morning when I got out of bed. I did my morning activities and went downstairs. Everywhere was strangely quiet and I could not see any of the maids around.I paused in front of Uncle’s office when I heard raised voices. His door was half opened and I inched closer to hear what they were saying. It was then I knew why everywhere was quiet.I spotted Maksim, the Bratva’s boss sitting on Uncle’s chair. I was scared of Maksim. He was the one who tried to rape me some years back.He is a dangerous man.Uncle was involved in the mafia world and it was because of him, I was almost raped. I suspected my Uncle knew about it but remained quiet.I stared at Uncle Pietro and watched as he paced around with a disturbed look on his face.“How could you be so stupid, Pietro? You very well know who he is.” Maksim yelled.“I didn't know,” Uncle said.“Oh please. You very well know what you were getting yourself into. You messed with a whole Vincenzo Cassano. Even I don’t w

Chapter Three
Anya's POV A sound to my left startled me and my eyes widened. I realized I was deep inside the woods. Fuck. I did not even recognize where I was going. I tried to find my way back but it was all pointless.I kept my eyes straight that I did not see the slope in front of me. I slipped and fell.Pain exploded through my body as I tumbled down. The world spun around me, nothing but dirt, rocks, and chaos. My arms flailed, grasping at empty air.Branches scraped my skin, tearing through my clothes. My back slammed against something hard, a rock, a tree, I didn’t know.I kept rolling, my body bouncing against the ground like a ragdoll and my ribs felt like they were being crushed. I tried to stop myself, to grab onto something — anything, until I hit the ground, hard.The air rushed from my lungs, and for a long, terrible moment, I couldn’t breathe.My whole body throbbed, pain pulsing through every inch of me. My head swam, dizziness making it hard to focus.I swore underneath my breath

Chapter Four
Anya's POV I allowed myself to be led by this stranger who helped me calm down.“Sit down.” He said. His voice was cold and authoritative.I looked at him for the first time and I gasped. I was staring at the most attractive guy I have ever seen in my life.This guy had an oval face, with a slightly pointed chin and a sturdy jaw line. His green eyes were small and spaced evenly apart, sitting below trimmed eyebrows that seem to curve as a natural extension of his broad, crooked nose and for some reason, I found that really sexy.He had a smirk on that lush lips of his and his natural brown color hair was neatly combed to reveal a wide forehead. This hottie was putting on an armless shirt and gosh those muscles.He had tattoos on his arms. I could spot two cardinals on a tree facing each other tattooed on his right arm and under it were the words ‘I am always with you’.He was breathtakingly beautiful and at the same time, scary.I definitely know he is someone I am supposed to be scar

Chapter Five
Vincenzo's POVI watched her for a moment, waiting for her to look up. I loved the fear in her eyes. Earlier on, when I pulled the trigger, she crumbled and I went to her not because I wanted to save her but because I wanted her to die when I say so.People call me the devil and they are right about that. I am a heartless bastard who don’t give a fuck about the woman in front of me.Since I brought her in, she has been staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing.“Sit down.” I used my authoritative voice on her and that worked because she looked up and finally stared at me.When her eyes finally met mine, I saw the sharp intake of breath—a gasp that escaped her lips before she could stop it.I couldn’t help the small flicker of amusement that crossed my face. It was there and gone in an instant.Despite how messy she was, she is freaking beautiful and there was something about her that caught my attention.Those eyes. Bright blue, almost unnaturally so. They were deep,

Chapter Six
Vincenzo's POV “Carlo.” I called out to one of my men. “Take her to the maid’s quarter and give her a free room."I turned to her and said, “You are to start work immediately and do something about that cut on your head.”That was a pretty nasty cut and it was turning purple.I watched as she walked out with Carlo and after some time, I headed to my office. I walked in and closed the door behind me quietly.I sat down and lit a cigarette, I inhaled it and puffed it out. I swiveled my chair backwards and closed my eyes putting my hands over my eyes.My door opened and someone came in without knocking. Only two people had the guts to do that. Matteo and my sister Alessia. I knew it was not Alessia because she would have come in with a lot of noise. So I knew it was Matteo.“Speak.” I said when he remained silent.“What are you going to do with that female snitch?” he asked.I opened my eyes but did not turn to meet him. “Nothing. Just let her remain here.”“Vincenzo.” he said.Once agai

Chapter Seven
Anya's POV This was the third week of my stay in the Cassano’s estate. I was lonely here despite Cosima’s motherly affection.She was so kind and sweet to me and gave me the motherly love that I missed for a long time. She was my only light in this dark place.It was at times like this that I missed Erik. I miss his voice so much, I haven’t had the chance to try to call him but I wouldn't stop trying.I was currently sitting in the kitchen munching some fries and I was watching Cosima buzzing around. She was one energetic sixty years old woman. She cleaned her hands and sat beside me.“So bambina, how is your stay here?” She asked. She started calling me bambina after my third day here.I honestly didn't know the answer to her question.“Not too good and not to bad either.” I said.“I hope the boys are not disturbing you?” She asked.The boys weren't disturbing me but Vincenzo was always on my mind. I have been avoiding him a lot now.“They aren’t.” I told her.“Good. You will be in c

Chapter Eight
Anya's POV PRESENT TIME“Are you going to keep standing there?” I looked up to see Carlo staring at me.I blinked my eyes repeatedly until I remembered why I was standing here. I gave Carlo a small smile and I watched him walk away. I took a long breath before knocking on the door.“Come in.” He said in his usual cold voice.I opened the door and entered inside. Vincenzo did not look up as he typed furiously on his laptop.I stood rooted in that spot watching him. The ray from the sun was beaming on him. He was always squinting his eyes.“What do you want?” He asked, still not looking up.I cleared my throat while still watching him, “I came to give you your iced tea.”He paused and finally raised his head, his eyes meeting mine. He leaned back and crossed his hands over his chest.“Anya.” He said.I walked toward him and dropped the tea on his table. I turned back to leave, but his voice stopped me.“Why have you been avoiding me?” He narrowed his eyes.I turned to face him. “This is

Chapter Nine
Vincenzo's POVI smiled as I watched them walk away. Alessia was the only one who can make me smile freely. She was going to make Anya her good friend, I could feel it already.Speaking of Anya, she’s driving me crazy. Ever since I gave her her first orgasm, she has always been on my mind.Her father killed my mother, so I was supposed to stay far from her, but I couldn’t think straight. Her freaking dimples was fucking with me.I need to collect all the information I want from her and get rid of her. I can’t allow my emotions to get the best of me.Matteo entered my office looking agitated. “Boss, this is bad.”He called me boss, so I guessed it was something really bad. Matteo is a very reserved person, so when he looks really agitated, something is up.“How bad is it?” I asked him.“Very bad.”“What is it?” I bit my lower lip, anticipating the news.“One of our bars has caught fire.” He said.“What the fuck! Which one?” I seethed.“Midnight lounge.”“Who did it?” I was boiling with

Anya's POV Today, Cosima decided it was my turn to serve breakfast. Natalina and Camila were assisting me.I picked up the tray and walked to the dining room. Vincenzo was sitting at the head of the table and he was staring at me.Flustered, I quickly looked away.Matteo, Carlo and Alessia were at his right side. There were two new faces sitting at the right side. A male and a female.I stood at Alessia’s back, and the male stood up suddenly.“Hello Anya.” he beamed. He was really cute. Does Vincenzo only have cute people around him? I tilted my head “How do you know my name?”“The guys told me. I am Nico. Nice to meet you.” he smiled.He looked playful and boyish and a little younger than the rest guys. Alessia tugged my shirt and I turned to look at her.“He is Nico, I and Vince's adopted brother. He may look playful, but he is a skilled assassin and a fucking asshole.”“Hey, Alessia. I can hear you.” he said.“So what?”I looked at the lady beside him and she glared at me. What is
