Stephen Vincent Strange

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.

Ich war seit neun Jahren mit dem Kindheitsfreund meiner Schwester und wir standen kurz vor der Verlobung. Wie immer war er auf der Party mit seinen Freunden betrunken und ich holte ihn ab. Als ich vor der Tür stand und gerade Hallo sagen wollte, hörte ich die neckische Stimme eines seiner Freunde. „Vincent, deine Traumfrau ist zurück aus dem Ausland. Was machst du mit dem Ersatz? Wirfst du sie loswerden oder hast du gleichzeitig zwei?“ Er grinste höhnisch. Dann sagt ein anderer neben ihm lachend: „Vincent, du bist so v*rdammt beneidenswert. Nachdem deine Traumfrau Chiara weg war, hast du dich aus Einsamkeit mit der Schwester deines Kindheitsfreundes vergnügt. Du hast immer gesagt, nach neun Jahren bist du satt. Und jetzt ist Chiara auch zurück!“ Vincents Stimme war voller Wut. „Chiara hat damals behauptet, ich würde mein ganzes Leben lang nur sie lieben! Natürlich musste ich einen billigen Ersatz nehmen, um ihr Selbstvertrauen ordentlich zu erschüttern!“

After a car accident left Vincent Holt, head of the powerful Holt family, disabled, he stunned high society by publicly seeking a wife. My father immediately submitted my profile. “Since you’re so determined to break up with Cole, let’s see if you can land someone from the Holt family instead.” I refused, only to get slapped hard across the face as I tried to grab his phone. “You have no choice in this.” With nowhere else to turn, I went to ask Cole Brody for help. He was the only one who could change my father’s mind. However, I overheard their conversation. “Don’t worry, Mr. Brody. Vincent Holt is just a cripple. Bethany’s too proud to accept him. Just give it some time. She’ll come crawling back to you.” Cole chuckled. “Lulu wants a baby. I’m just helping her out by sleeping with her a few times. It’s not a big deal, yet Bethany just won’t leave it alone. I knew you got a way to keep her in check.” My body went cold. It turned out that I had been standing alone in a ruin of lies all along. However, when the Holt family really picked me, they panicked.
