Pen Addictress
“Look at me, sweetheart.”
I was supposed to call him Daddy out of respect.
Now, every time I said it, my heart raced for an entirely different reason.
After my mother’s sudden death, my wealthy, devastatingly handsome stepfather, Alexander Voss, took me in. What began as care and protection soon turned into something far more complicated when he discovered a secret I had desperately tried to hide.
“You belong under my protection now, babygirl,” he growled, his possessive gaze leaving no room for misunderstanding. “And I won't let anyone take you away from me.”
Twice my age and dangerously possessive, Alexander was used to getting what he wanted. He kept a close watch on me, made decisions on my behalf, and never hesitated to remind me how much influence he had over my life.
I knew his behavior was wrong. I knew I should stand up to him and reclaim my independence. But his rare moments of tenderness, his overwhelming presence, and the complicated feelings growing between us made walking away harder than I had ever imagined.
Now, on his private island, Alexander gives me one final ultimatum: accept the future he has planned for us or leave everything behind and face the consequences.
Will I surrender to his possessive love, or will I find the courage to break free and choose my own destiny?
