The monster paid for me and then used me whenever he pleased.He didn't realize I was planning my escape.Once I got out, that's when I would seek my revenge.My sister depended on me to take care of her since our mother died. She was too young to know what I did to get us food and our tattered blankets to keep us warm at night during Chicago's bitter winters.When she tried to help, it only made things worse. We were in danger, and I did what I had to do to get us out of it.I sold myself to the highest bidder. Little did I know he wasn't just using my body, he was seeking revenge, and I was the pawn in his sick plan.I could run, but every time he touched me, called out my name, my body told me to stay. That's what I did.

Both families, alike in greed and power. He belonged to one and I the other. Now I was pregnant with his child. In order to keep my baby safe, I had to run away from everyone... even him.Our families were at war. The Dratshevs ruled the south side, and the Satrianos ruled everything else.I was a Dratshev. And when I met Elba Satriano, he only told me his name was E.He tricked me, and then he took my body for his own pleasure.When his family killed my brother, I ran. The Satrianos were out for blood.Elba had lied to me. What would he do to me when he found out I was pregnant with his child?I had to run far away and never look back.

I swore I'd never love the man that forced me to be his bride. SelenaI made a deal with the Devil.I stepped foot into the kitchen hoping to grab a snack, but my hunger soon died as blood pooled on the black-and-white marble counter.The talented executioner and head of the most powerful mafia family in Chicago, Domenick Satriano, stood there wiping red splatter off his cheek.He had spilt blood.My father did nothing as Domenick casually took my hand and led me to his car as if we were meant to be. I should have run that day, but something ignited inside me as his dark eyes gazed down at me. He pulled me toward him and I willingly came. I was weak to his touch. He told me he owned me, but I wanted to break free. Trapped inside his gilded cage, all I wanted to do was run.Every night, he used his wicked hands to break me. Every inch of my tender flesh burned after he finished.He explained it was a matter of time until I willingly came to him. My damaged heart kept me fighting his dark games.>DomenickI had been watching her for years.Her round, green eyes stared up at me with such innocence it was hard to control myself.She's perfectly sweet and ready to be devoured.I couldn't wait to taste her.To hear her cry my name.And I wouldn't let up until she admitted she was meant for me.She thought she could fight me.No one said no to me.She didn't realize my heart had been scorched and burned so long ago, there was almost nothing left of me.She was just a promise from long ago, and I never broke my promises.But once I inhaled her sweet scent, that promise turned into obsession.
