I was his pawn. Ripped into the war his family has been waging for years. She was my leverage. A pretty, little thing I didn’t mind using to further the family business. Darya I was kidnapped by a ruthless monster—a murderer devoid of human emotion. When the Zaragoza Cartel set its sights on my father, I was the only crack in his perfectly crafted life and quickly became Yuri’s pawn. He wanted to use me in his ambitious plan, But I was done bending and begging. By the time I realized my stubbornness drove him wild, I couldn’t leave him—even if I wanted to. Yuri She called me a monster. Oh, how proud I was that she recognized me. She was nothing more than a means to an end, Until her defiancé became a little too tantalizing, too tempting. Despite every attempt to stay away, I just couldn’t control myself. By the time I realized I couldn’t keep her, She was already mine—body and soul.
