He rescued me when I had nowhere else to turn. Now, this filthy talking man is demanding payment, but he doesn’t want money. He wants me in his bed, obeying his every command. All my life, I wanted to be loved. Instead, I was ignored. My father gave me what I wanted so he could go back to ignoring me. Once I understood that, life became easier. When he arranged to marry me off to the son of his biggest ally, I didn’t mind. Marco was the older brother of my best friend and honestly, he made me burn. I wanted to belong to him. I wanted in his life, his bed and definitely in his heart. It didn’t quite work out that way. Marco treated me just like my father did—maybe worse. Being tolerated by the man you love is a level of pain that I couldn’t endure. So, I left. The fact Marco didn’t fight to keep me was horrifically painful. When one really bad decision lands me in hot water. I reach out to the only person who has ever cared about me, my best friend Lina. Too bad, she’s also Marco’s little sister. Marco rescues me, but he’s no white knight. He’s a monster. Complete Standalone Book
