Chapter 1

ELENAI hated crowds.Any kind of crowd whatsoever.Like the one I was in.Bodies rubbing each other as they passed. People who were not exactly friends, pretending to be one. The fake smiles. The fake laughter that was usually too loud and annoying to hear. The fake hapiness to inroduce one's family to the other. All for the purpose of networking?If I were to be in charge of how humans worked, I would cancel gatherings like these ones, and make people actually work for what they wanted.I didn't need to smile and caress a beer bellied man in his seventies because I wanted to land a damn deal!And the fact that it worked, was preposterous!But of cours, fate just had to send me to places like these. Here I was, smiling so hard my cheek literally hurt, because I just happened to be the daughter of the most ambitious man in the word. "This is my daughter, Elena." Aberto Ricci said, pushing me forward and tapping on the small of my back so I could take the hand that was oustretched, w

Chapter 2

ELENAI sat stiffly in the back of the sleek black limousine, my fingers curled into my lap as I stared out the tinted window. The grand cathedral loomed ahead, its towering stone facade casting an ominous shadow over the crowded street. The bells tolled, marking the hour of my doom.My wedding.My prison sentence.My hair had been curled to perfection by the best stylists in the country. My makeup, flawless.The soft lace clung to my skin from my neck down to my waist, before flaring out into the most beautiful wedding dress I had ever set my eyes on. Too bad it was for a day like this.Between my father and my groom, they had spared no expense.I couldn't feel a thing.Numbness had become my new favorite emotion.It was the only way to forget what I had seen in that room that day.Had I not been enough for him? I had given him almost everything he could have ever wanted.Had I been that horrible of a girlfriend that he had opted for a threesome?The thought made my stomach turn.My e

Chapter 3

The walk down the aisle was more of a walk of shame than anything else as I held on tightly to my father's arm like my life depended on it.If it caused him any kind of pain, Don Alberto said nothing, gazing straight ahead as he led me to slaughter.The smiles from those around almost made me lose it. They weren’t aware that this was all just a sham.I gazed around, searching through the crowd, and almost stumbled when my gaze caught that of Donavan.What was he doing here?He was supposed to be far away from here, right?Donavan was the first to look away, his face void of any expression. If he was here to add salt to my wound, then he was going to be disappointed.I almost didn’t realize when we reached my husband-to-be, and my father left my side."You are not bad to look at," Luca said once I was standing next to him, causing irritation so intense to flood my whole being.How... how... annoying!At least now I could focus my mind on something. Anger."Are you trying to say I'm beau

Chapter 4

LUCAI tried my best to ignore the woman next to me, but my tactics only worked for two minutes. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t concentrate without something about her filtering into my thoughts.She was easily the sexiest woman I had ever met.She wasn’t the typical model beauty standard. Far from it.Elena Ricci… well, Elena De Santis now… was every inch a woman.Her hair was thick and wavy, the deep, rich chestnut brown highlighted perfectly against her skin. From the first day I had set eyes on her, all I had wanted to do was wrap my fingers around that hair and pull. Fuck…The thought of her on all fours, my hand fisted in her hair, pulling it back while I did unimaginable things to her, made me shudder lightly.Her skin… oh, how I wanted to taste every inch.Elena didn’t know what she had signed up for.Sure, I wanted her to hate me. I didn’t believe in love. Not ever.Besides, if she found out the truth… Nah, I wasn’t going to go there.But she was going to do my bidding

Chapter 5

ELENAIf I had thought seeing Luca was over for the day, I had been sorely mistaken because just as I had prepared to lay down and rest my sore muscles, a servant knocked on my door, informing me that Luca had asked to see me in his study.Talk of bad timing.I stood in the huge study, ignoring how massive it was and focused on the man in front of me. Arms crossed, I watched Luca move with calculated ease. He removed his jacket, unbuttoning his cuffs as he turned to me with a cold smirk.“There are rules in my house, Elena,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You will follow them.”I arched a brow, refusing to show fear. Rules? Of course, a man like Luca had rules in his house. “I’m not your slave.”His smirk deepened. “You’re my wife. That means you belong to me in every way that matters.”My jaw tightened, but I remained silent. I had to pick my battles.“First rule,” Luca continued, stepping closer. Yeah, he had to come into my space again. “You will respect my authority. I will not

He was there again, not in the shadows, but right at the forefront.My eyes widened at the sight before me. A sight I struggled to understand at that age.What were those men doing?Three women, dressed in nothing but little pieces of materials I had been told were called lingerie... lag... whatever... I couldn't remember the name, walked into the room and laid on the bed, arms entwining as they kissed each other. One of them looked straight at me, smiling as her companion slid her long fingers over her body.I could only swallow nervously as I stared at the sight before me.I wanted to leave. I didn't want to see.But the hand that held on to my small body pinned me down. "Please... let me go... please," I begged, squeezing my eyes shut as I struggled against the strong arms."Shut up, Luca, and watch how it is to become a man!" The deep voice above me bellowed.I forced my eyes open, looking over to see one of the women lay on her stomach just as a man came to stand behind her. In hi

Chapter 7

ELENAThe table was full of different kinds of food once I reached the dining room, after minutes of pacing in my room and contemplating whether to go down or not.And yes, I had brushed my teeth again.At the head of the table, Luca sat with his head buried in his tablet, while one hand held onto his cup of what I assumed was coffee. And it seemed he liked his coffee plain black."Sit." His baritone commanded, without him raising his head to look at me.I didn't wait to be told again and grabbed hold of a chair that was a bit further down from him, but Luca cleared his throat, making me glance up nervously at him. "Sit next to me." And for effect, he kicked the chair on his right.On slightly shaky legs, I made my way over to him, plopping down on the seat."Eat."Gosh… he didn't have to be so bossy. But everything in front of me did look yummy, so I reached forward and poured myself a cup of hot chocolate, adding a good amount of sugar before bringing it to my lips to taste."Mmnnn…"

Chapter 8

LUCAThe sickening crunch that echoed through the soundproof room was, to me, the cherry on top of my cake.My knuckles burned lightly from the impact, but I didn't care, sending it back into the man's jawline. "I can keep going all day, Luke, trust me," I hissed, hitting the barely conscious man again.Things had been going wrong for months now, and where I had thought I was close to finding out what in the world was crumbling my hard work, we had hit a dead end."I won't say shit! You can kill me if you like!" Luke yelled, spitting out blood from his battered lips, while I stood there, right in front of him.There was fear in the man's eyes, no doubt, but he knew, just like everyone in this room, that people like him had sworn to be loyal. But there was still a loophole. There just had to be."What did you find, Hakeem?" I asked the other man in the room, who stood behind me, out of sight, while I kept my gaze on the man tied to the chair in front of me."Nothing, Don Luca. They left

Chapter 9

ELENA"Thank you, Rosetta," I said with a smile, waving at the housekeeper as she made her way out of the room, leaving me alone.Once the door was closed, I let out a sigh, then bit my lips before collapsing on the bed flat, on my back.Luca had certainly made a whole point of being away all day, not once showing his face or even letting me hear his voice. It was like he had disappeared right under my nose.Was this how it was going to be?This was only my first day as a married woman, and I already felt like I was losing my mind.My mind went to the reason I was here.Alberto had told me it was all to end the mafia war and also that being the wife of Luca De Santis meant so many benefits for my power-hungry father. But to what end?Was I going to be locked up forever in this gigantic mansion?My only highlight of the day had been meeting his sister, who, by the way, had also disappeared after promising to be back.Valeria had struggled to understand why Luca had a separate room, whic

Chapter 10

ELENAEmbarrassment. And anger.Those were the emotions that clouded my vision as I stormed to the dining table where Luca sat comfortably. Too comfortably, like he hadn’t come into my room a few minutes ago, teased the hell out of me, then left me dry and hungry. For him.“What the hell was that?” I demanded, stopping just by his side.“What the hell was what?” Luca asked calmly, unfolding the napkin that was set in front of him so he could put it on his lap. He looked and sounded unfazed, irritating me further.“That! In my bedroom, Luca!” I hissed. “You can’t just come in there the way you did, do what you did, and then leave and pretend like nothing happened!”He sighed. “You mean, our bedroom? Because that’s our bedroom, and I can walk in there and do as I please....” Then he turned his head to me. “...to you. You are mine, remember? Mine to take, and mine to have.”That stopped me, but only for a moment. “No! You don’t get to play me like that!”A frown formed on his face. “Play
