Chapter 1

Gianna's POV The air in my hospital room was thick and suffocating. A sheen of sweat clung to my skin underneath the thin hospital gown I was wearing, and I couldn't help but let out a small groan. This heat was unbearable, why? The nurse had turned to the air conditioning again. I knew it wasn't a mistake. She did it on purpose. Every single day, she found new ways to remind me of my helplessness, and her methods were usually worse than the last. Leaving the water just out of reach. Bringing me cold meals, laughing under her breath when I struggled to do small tasks for myself. The list was too long to count. But I wasn't as helpless as they all thought. My fingers fisted around the edges of the bedsheet as I turned towards the window. My eyes caught sight of the bright light streaming in. It was so bright I could actually see in it. I could also make out the soft outline of the chair just next to the bed, and even the IV stand whirring in the corner. In the past two days,

Chapter 2

Gianna's POV I forced myself to remain calm, swallowing the nausea rising in my throat. The bitter taste of bile coated my tongue, but I did my level best to keep my facial expression schooled. After inhaling and exhaling, I tightened my fingers around the box containing the so-called cold medicine that Enzo had asked for. Pressing my lips together, I grabbed it and walked towards him, making sure not to let anything slip or tip him off. Enzo was now leaned against the hospital bed, with his shirt unbuttoned, and Lena clinging to him like a second skin. Another wave of nausea rose at the back of my throat as she ran her fingers over his abs, but I got a grip on myself. The duo laughed, and it did nothing but make me feel worse than ever. Beads of sweat lined my forehead and it didn't take me too long to realize that the AC was down again. This was Lena's doing, she always enjoyed making me feel miserable and the stifling heat was just one of her many ways. “Here.” I extended

Chapter 3

The world around me seemed to slow to a halt. My heart thundered all the more, and it made me wonder what the hell I'd just gotten myself into. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, but my feet remained rooted to the ground. The man in front of me didn't move. For a second, I almost thought I'd imagined the whole thing, until he spoke. “What are you doing here?” My stomach churned, not in fear, but something more dangerous and exciting. My pulse roared loudly in my ears, against the silence of the room. I needed to come up with an answer, and fast. Think Gianna. Think.“I'm a nurse.” The lie tumbled past my lips faster than I could catch it. I steadied my voice, and made sure to avert my gaze as I spoke. “I must have entered the wrong room.”Another wave of silence settled between us, and just when I thought it would linger some more, a soft click filled the room. I felt the warm glow of his bedside lamp on my face almost instantly. I blinked again, willing my eyes t

Chapter 4

Gianna's POV My world shattered the moment his words left his lips. Everything blurred, as the walls seemed to close in. The weight of betrayal pressed against my chest, almost suffocating me. I felt my chest tighten,a deep ache settling in my ribs, and squeezing the air from my lungs. This wasn't happening. There was no way this was real. I had known Enzo was cruel and selfish, but this was too much, even for him. This was inhumane and he knew it. ….“She won't resist.” Enzo's words broke through my thoughts. He wasn't just offering me up to save himself, he was doing so with enthusiasm.“She has no choice." Enzo continued. “As long as I hold the leash, she'll follow. Her mother's life depends on it.”He assured The tattooed stranger who was holding him captive, and a sickening numbness settled over me. I was nothing but a bargaining chip to secure his own satefy. The man in question said nothing. He simply watched, and a part of me couldn't help but feel like he was playing
