“This is wrong. My husband…he…” I whispered, my voice trembling as I forced the words out. My protest sounded weak even to my ears, I tried hard to grasp the loose edges of my resolve. Deep down, I knew it was futile. He wouldn’t care. A low menacing chuckle rumbled from his chest. ‘Why was he laughing?’ He lifted his head, his dark eyes locking onto mine with a piercing intensity that made my knees weak. His gazed burned with a mixture of amusement and undeniable hunger… a raw feeling that stole the air from my lungs. “I don’t care about that,” he said, his voice a rich, velvety growl that sent heat straight to my belly.

Nico tightened the belt around my neck, leaned down, and pressed himself against me, thrusting into my body. The lack of oxygen intensified all my sensations; I gasped for breath, trying to escape. He thrust deeper and harder, pain and pleasure spreading up my spine, a tingling sensation leaving me weak and collapsing onto the bed. "Can you feel it, my baby?" Another heavy blow, his hand slapping mercilessly against my forced, upturned buttocks. "This is my declaration of ownership over your body."

Ich hieß Alaya, und ich war nichts weiter als ein Mädchen wie viele andere, geboren in den Gassen eines Viertels, in dem die Armut dich von Geburt an vergiftet. Meine Mutter war krank. Sie hatte nur mich … und ihre Schulden. An jenem Abend kamen sie. Sie klopften an die Tür. Drei Männer in Schwarz. Kein Wort. Nur ein Umschlag … und ein eiskalter Satz: — »Du bist doch noch Jungfrau, oder? Der Chef zahlt teuer dafür.« Ich hatte keine Wahl. Er hieß Santino Ricci. Kalt. Magnetisch. Gefährlich. Das Oberhaupt einer der mächtigsten Mafiafamilien Italiens. Er sah mich an, wie man eine kostbare Ware ansieht. Dann sagte er: — »Du wirst meine Frau. Egal, was du fühlst.« Und ich unterschrieb mein Urteil. Diese Hochzeit war keine Verbindung … sondern ein goldener Käfig. Ich lernte, inmitten von Schlangen zu überleben. Ich sah Tote. Ich sah Blut. Ich hörte die Schreie von Mädchen, die, genau wie ich, verkauft worden waren. Aber was sie nicht bedacht hatten … war, dass die kleine, zerbrochene Jungfrau am Ende zurückbeißen würde.
