LOGINHis hand shot out, gripping her chin tighter, forcing her to meet his eyes “listen carefully and make sure this words stick in your head” “You belong to me, I own you. No matter how far you run.. i will find you and then the next time you try to escape, I will make sure you are in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Do you understand?” Rosa’s body shook as his words sank in, each one a cold sharp blade, she nodded unable to form words. ******* Sold to Italy's most feared mafia don to repay her father's debt, Rosa's life becomes a prison.

Kian sat still, trying to be brave. Within minutes, both bombs were removed.Finally, he turned to Elena and dismantled hers with skill and speed.They were free.Silvio scooped up Kira and Kian in his arms. He turned to Jia and Elena."Let's go"They nodded, rushing behind him as they slipped out of the room and down the quiet passageway. Silvio spotted the emergency alarm switch on the wall. He slammed his palm against it.A loud, blaring siren filled the air.They entered the elevator. As the doors closed, the shrill alarm echoed around them. When they reached the ground floor, chaos had already erupted.Guests flooded the grand lobby, panicked and shouting. People were running in every direction, some barefoot, some still in gowns and suits, kids crying.Silvio scanned the crowd and then he saw him."Matteo!" he ca
A Month Later- At One of Silvio's HotelsIt was finally the day of the wedding.Outside the grand venue, a crowd of reporters buzzed with excitement, microphones in hand as they interviewed celebrities and streamed live coverage of what was already being called the wedding of the year. Cameras flashed, and TV stations battled for the best angle.Inside a lavish suite on the top floor, Jia stood quietly in front of a full length mirror. Her wedding gown hugged her curves elegantly, the silk fabric catching the light with every slight movement. The backless design revealed her slender spine, and her dark hair was swept up in a flawless chignon. Her makeup was soft yet striking, highlighting the glow in her eyes.She pressed a hand gently to her chest, as if to steady the pounding of her heart. A smile tugged at her lips, soft at first, then growing. She was getting married. To Silvio. The thought alone made her cheeks warm.The door creaked open.Elena stepped inside, dressed in a flowi
Jia stood before the mirror, a black lace nightwear clinging to her curves. She admired the way the delicate fabric framed her breasts. Her fingers found one strap, then the other, and with a slow, intentional movement, she let them fall. The gown pooled at her feet. Her eyes remained locked on her reflection as she slipped off the matching lace panties. She was completely naked.She moved silently towards the bathroom. The sound of running water was the only sound in the silent room. Her heart was pounding hard. She has to do this. The door groaned softly as she pushed it open. Silvio stood with his back to her in the shower cubicle. The water highlighted the muscles of his broad, strong body. Jia's breath hitched. She bit her lip, taking one careful step forward, then another. She reached out, her hands ready to wrap around his wet waist, but before she could make contact, he moved. His eyes, quick and sharp, snapped open and he grabbed her arm, shoving her against the tile wall wi
In Bahamas, at Silvio's private resort. Jia stood on the balcony, her phone in her hand as she watched her own face on the screen. The interview she had done was still playing, her own voice sounding distant and strained as she spoke about the trauma of her kidnapping, the devastating loss of her pregnancy. Then, her declaration- a break from filming, a focus on her family. A quiet kind of peace.Jia's hands shook with anxiety as she scrolled through the comments. This was a new world for her. The internet had been filled with so much hatred and bitter criticism that it had made her the most hated actress online. But as she read, her heart began to swell with a foreign warmth."So happy she's taking time for herself." "She's so brave for speaking out." "You have been through so much, Jia. We are all rooting for you." The words were like a balm, soothing a wound she hadn't realized was still so raw. A small, genuine smile touched her lips."What are you doing?"Silvio's voice, sof
Three weeks had passed since Jia was admitted to the hospital. Her nights were the worst. She would wake up screaming, her body drenched in sweat, her hands gripping the sheets like she was trying to escape something. Sometimes she cried out, begging someone anyone to let her go.Silvio tried to co
The morning sun had barely risen when the first screams echoed through the marketplace. Leonardo Moretti's naked body lay sprawled at the roadside...bloated, broken, and brutalized. His genitals were severed. One hand, one leg were gone. Blood painted the ground beneath him.A crude wooden sign lea
Jia collapsed into Silvio's arms. He caught her, holding her tight against him, his body trembling.Her hand slowly moved to her stomach. When she raised it, her fingers came away slick with blood.Her eyes widened, her hand began to shake. She opened her mouth but no sound came..only a silent gasp
Silvio sat in his leather swivel chair, the room dim except for the light filtering through the floor to ceiling window. His gaze lingered on the garden below, but his mind was elsewhere.. on Tiziano, who had gone alone to visit Lorenzo in the underground prison. He had wanted to go but Tiziano ha
