Mayor

I should have been walking down the aisle. Instead, I was running through the woods in my wedding dress. The white fabric caught on every branch, tearing apart like my life. My name is Camela Siegel. My father is the Mayor, and he sold me to save himself. Vincent Castellano was supposed to be my husband. They call him the Mad Prince, but I learned he’s so much worse than that. His hands trembled when he touched me—sometimes gentle, like I might break, and sometimes rough, like he wanted to overpower me. “You’re mine now,” he’d whisper in the dark corners of that house. “No one else gets to touch you. No one else gets to hurt you but me.” I tried the door handle every day for three months. It only turned from the outside. When help finally came, I thought it was over. I thought I could go home and pretend none of it ever happened. I was wrong. Vincent found my journal—the one where I wrote about him, about what he did to me, and about who he truly is. Now he’s not just keeping me locked up. He’s hunting me. They call him “The Fox” for a reason. He’s patient and waits. When he catches what he’s after, he never lets it go. I can feel him watching me even now—through my bedroom window, from across the street, in the shadows where I can’t see him but I know he’s there. My father thinks making that deal saved his life. He doesn’t realize it destroyed mine. Vincent said he’d keep me until the last day of my life. I’m starting to think that day is coming soon.

Demon, Beast, King of hell, yan ang kadalasan na sinasabi ng mga taong nakaranas na ng kalupitan mula sa kanyang mga kamay. Gayunpaman, sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging demon beast, kinaiinggitan pa rin siya ng lahat dahil maraming babae ang handang lumuhod sa kanyang harapan makuha lamang ang kanyang atensyon at pagmamahal. Subalit lahat sila ay nabigo sapagkat hindi pa ipinanganak ang babaeng kayang tunawin ang nagyeyelong puso ni Allaric Dela Vega, ang pinakatanyag, mayaman at maimpluwensyang tao sa buong mundo. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat ng ibinenta sa kanya ni Mayor Enrique ang bunsong anak nito na babae, bilang kabayaran sa sampung milyong dolyar na halaga ng pagkakautang nito sa kanya. Walang balak si Allaric na bilhin ang anak ng alkalde, ngunit ginawa niya pa rin dahil hinamon siya ng kalupitan ng ugali ng dalaga. Siya lang ang tanging babae na hindi natatakot mamatay sa harapan niya; kahit pa tinagurian siyang, Adonis the greek god, sa kagwapuhan, wala pa ring epekto ito sa dalaga. "Kahit pilitin mo man akong magpakasal sayo, katawan ko lang ang makukuha mo, ngunit hindi ang puso ko." - Jayna "Hindi mo makuha ang kalayaan na gusto mo, dahil mamamatay akong nakakukong ka parin dito sa puso ko."- Allaric May mabubuo pa kayang pagmamahal sa kanilang dalawa gayung wala silang ibang ginawa kundi ang saktan ang isa't-isa? Magagawa kayang palayain ni Allaric si Jayna, kung ang gusto lang nito ay makalaya sa kanya at bumalik sa lalaking nagmamay-ari ng puso niya? What fate awaits the mafia king in his battle for love?
