In Between Ch 1

BOOK 1&2 "You're already broken, Claire. I broke you, and I'll keep doing it, again and again. Just so you know, you're mine to break, mine to keep, for as long as I damn well please. The sooner you accept that, the better." **** Claire Keys' life fell apart when she was kidnapped and brutalized by Luciano Sebastian, the ruthless leader of the Silver Fox mafia. After losing her parents, she vowed revenge but couldn't even muster the strength to pull the trigger. Fate, however, led her to Don Dada, the infamous head of the Danger Blaze mafia. He made her an irresistible offer, giving her the chance to be close to him and also his sworn enemy, Luciano. After a night of passionate kisses and heated moments, Claire thought she had found a way out. But she soon realized she was caught between two powerful mafia men, each determined to claim her for themselves. To Luciano, she was his property; to Don Dada, she was his lover, a woman his heart yearns for. Now, Claire faces an impossible choice: whom to trust and whom to betray as she seeks to avenge her parents. But in the ruthless mafia world, trust is a dangerous gamble. Will Claire survive the deadly tug-of-war between Luciano and Don Dada? Will she succumb to their desires or fight for her freedom? And could love find a way in the darkness? Danger, desire, and a forbidden love affair. A tale of passion, betrayal, and the ultimate sacrifice.

"Let me go, I'm... I'm your brother's fiancée." I huffed trying to push him away but he trapped my hands above my head and leaned in so close till his lips were close to my ears, "You might belong to my brother now," his voice was a venomous whisper, his breath hot against my skin, "but you were mine first, Kitty." He whispered and licked my ear so gently that goosebumps covered my body. "You're stupid! Do you have a death wish? If your brother finds out, he will kill you!" I shout-whispered but he only chuckled, bit my ear lobe before staring at me deep in the eyes and asked, "Are you gonna tell him, Kitty?” √√√√√√√√ Lily's life takes a wild turn when she becomes involved with the mafia twin brothers Draco and Larry.
