Outer Banks Sofia

I swallowed hard as my shaky hands flipped through the contract, my heart thumping hard in my chest. He nonchalantly pressed his gun against my father's temple as he watched me, his voice low and threatening… “If you sign this, you belong to me—body, mind, and soul. I’ll take you whenever I want, however I want. In return, your father lives.” *** Sofia’s world shatters the night she crosses paths with Luca Moretti—the ruthless heir to Italy’s most powerful mafia syndicate. It was a reckless night, a one-night stand that should never have happened. And now, he refuses to let her go. Luca set his eyes on Sofia, and he was going to get her at all costs. When her father is taken hostage, Luca gives her an impossible choice: sign a contract to become his plaything, or watch her father die. He claims her. Possesses her. Breaks her. Yet each touch ignites a fire she can’t resist. How long can she survive under Luca’s ruthless obsession? Will she escape the chains of his desire—or will she fall deeper into his arms, going against everything she stood for?

Ketika suamiku, Rocco dari Keluarga Fauzian, menutup teleponku untuk ke-99 kalinya, aku menyeret tubuhku yang sudah berada di tahap akhir leukemia melangkah masuk ke kantor penasihat hukum keluarga. "Selamat siang, saya ingin mengajukan perceraian." Namun, sepuluh menit kemudian Rocco sudah menerima kabar itu dan menerobos masuk bersama keluargaku. Pemimpin keluarga itu baru masuk, lalu langsung menamparku. "Demi mengacaukan pesta kenaikan jabatan Sofia, kamu menyalahgunakan nomor komunikasi darurat? Otakmu taruh di mana?" Laporan diagnosis yang kugenggam, direbut paksa oleh ibuku. Dia melirikku lalu mencibir sambil tertawa sinis. "Pura-pura sakit untuk cari simpati, cuma supaya kami memperhatikanmu. Claire, dari kecil sampai besar, berapa banyak kebohongan yang sudah kamu buat?" Sofia menarik lengan Rocco sambil menahan tangis. "Maafkan aku, Kak Claire. Aku seharusnya nggak menerima kenaikan jabatan itu. Kumohon, jangan sakiti dirimu dan Rocco lagi!" Aku menyeka darah yang terus mengalir di sudut bibirku, lalu kembali menghadap pengacara. "Aku sudah nggak punya keluarga lagi. Demi tidak menunda proses kremasi jenazahku tiga hari lagi, tolong bantu selesaikan proses perceraian secepatnya."

She chuckles dismissively. "Did you fake being sick just to get attention? How many lies have you told since you were a kid, Claire?" Sofia Moretti holds Rocco's arm with tears in her eyes. "Forgive me, Claire. I shouldn't have taken the position. Please stop hurting yourself and Rocco." I wipe the blood from my mouth and turn back to the lawyer. "I have no family left. Please hurry with the divorce paperwork. I need it settled before my cremation in three days."

The only audible sounds for the next few minutes were the platters of rain against the window and our heavy breathing. I saw him walk his naked ass to the bedside drawer, returning with a document in his hands. "What's this?", I questioned as I reluctantly took it from him. "A contract you need to sign to live."
