Lyrics Going Under Evanescence

Luca Marino's world collapses when he realizes he's been unknowingly laundering money for the Russian mafia. After talking to the FBI, he's kidnapped and sold at an underground auction to the highest bidder. Dante Vitale never planned to buy anyone. But when the defiant accountant refuses to break despite his terror, Dante can't stop himself from claiming him. As Luca investigates betrayal within Dante's crime family, enemies close in from all sides. The Bratva wants him dead. A detective wants him to testify. And Dante's own family sees him as a dangerous weakness. Trapped between the man who bought him and the freedom he lost, Luca faces an impossible truth: he's falling for his captor. But he doesn't know if what he feels is real or just a way to survive. Can love built on such a dark beginning ever become something genuine? Or will the way they started destroy them both?

I'm the second child of the family. Because of that, I'm also the one everyone neglects by nature. The birthdays of my older brother, Joe Thompson, and my younger sister, Lyra Thompson, are jotted down on the calendar by my parents. But they always fail to remember my own birthday. Joe and Lyra often have new clothes to wear, whereas my parents keep forgetting to buy new clothes for me. Heck, Joe and Lyra often receive holiday gifts! Meanwhile, my parents never bother giving me anything during the holidays. In fact, when we're traveling back to our hometown, my parents end up ditching me at a deserted highway rest stop when the temperature is extremely low…

Isang gabing pagkakamali, isang panghabambuhay na iskandalo. Si Rosita Alonzo, isang matapang at masipag na dalaga, ay pumasok bilang katulong sa mansyon ng mga Zaviere sa pag-asang matatakasan ang kahirapan. Ngunit sa isang gabing nilunod ng alak ang kanyang katinuan, isang maling pinto ang kanyang nabuksan . . . isang maling kama ang kanyang nahigaan. Ang silid na iyon ay pagmamay-ari ni Alexander Zaviere, ang makapangyarihang Mayor ng lungsod. Si Alexander ay ang perpektong lider sa mata ng publiko, gwapo, matalino, at kagalang-galang. Ngunit sa likod ng mga pader ng kanyang mansyon, siya ay isang lalaking nilalamon ng pait at pangungulila matapos ang pagkamatay ng kanyang asawa. Ang agwat ng kanilang edad na dalawampung taon at ang malaking pagkakaiba ng kanilang katayuan sa buhay ay dapat sapat na upang hindi sila magtagpo, ngunit ang init ng gabing iyon ay nag-iwan ng apoy na hindi na nila kayang apulahin. Sa bawat palitan ng titig at bawat pagkakataong magkalapit sa loob ng mansyon, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ni Alexander sa dalagang muling nagparamdam sa kanya na siya ay buhay. Ngunit ang kanilang bawal na ugnayan ay mitsa ng isang malaking pagsabog. Nang kumalat ang isang iskandalosong larawan ng Mayor kasama ang kanyang batang katulong, nanganib ang kanyang karera at ang dangal ni Rosita. Upang protektahan ang kanyang titulo at ang kaayusan ng lungsod, pinili ni Alexander ang pinakamasakit na paraan, ang itaboy si Rosita palayo sa kanyang mundo. Ngunit sa pag-alis ng babaeng nagpatibok muli ng kanyang puso, ramdam ni Alexander na ang kapangyarihan ay walang silbi kung ang puso niya ay muling magiging bilanggo ng lungkot. Handa ba niyang isuko ang kanyang korona at posisyon para bawiin ang babaeng itinuring niyang isang "pagkakamali"? O hahayaan na lamang niyang maging isang mapait na alaala ang pag-ibig na nagligtas sa kanya mula sa dilim?

My name is Susan, and I'm the daughter of the Dark Moon Pack's Alpha. Per tradition, I was betrothed to Daniel, the crown prince of South Dania and the future Alpha King, to become his Luna Queen. However, he had been postponing our Marking Ceremony repeatedly, using the excuse that he wanted his coronation first. I thought he was simply being prudent, until I witnessed him proposing to another she-wolf, telling her that she was the one he truly wanted. He was even laughing about the engagement, calling it a necessary tool. Understanding that, I realized that he never formed the mate bond with me because he needed the freedom for adultery and not suffer the pain of backlash in treachery. He wouldn't acknowledge my status, but insisted that I fulfill my spousal obligations nonetheless. He didn't Mark me, while keeping me tangled in his web of lies. I hence decided to disappear in three days under the new moon, when everyone would be waiting to witness our Marking. I wanted to show him that not every wolf was willing to be a tool.

"Tell me you don’t feel the same way," Xavier murmured, his dark eyes locked on mine. "Tell me you don’t feel your heart racing every time you see me. Tell me you don’t think about me for hours, imagining things… imagining me touching you. Tell me you don’t feel jealous when you see me with another girl who isn’t you." He stepped closer, his lips curling into that infuriating smirk. "Tell me, Princess," he whispered. My throat went dry. My words stuttered. "I… I don’t feel anything for you," I barely managed. "You're such a terrible liar," he said, his grin darkening. ••• Everything changed the night my father died.

"I like her," I said as I sat across from my mother unable to keep the frustration from boiling over. "Like who?" "Callie," I admitted, my chest tightening as I said her name. Her expression froze for a moment before she set the papers aside and leaned forward. "You’re joking, right? Callie is your brother’s girlfriend." "I don’t care," I snapped. "I can’t stand seeing him with her. She should be mine, and I’m not going to just sit back and watch them together." "Well, well. This is interesting." She sat back, steepling her fingers. "You really want her all to yourself?" "More than anything," I confessed. A slow smile crept across her face, and it sent a chill down my spine. "Don’t worry. I have a plan.” Whatever she had in mind, I knew it wouldn’t be simple. But if it meant having Callie… I was willing to do whatever it took. **************** Callie was given a choice by her new boss: either lose her job or act as his escort for his family’s Christmas and New Year celebrations, pretending to be his girlfriend.
