My debut novel!
A stranger decided that I was to become his property, that I was his. He leaves me notes in my home and sends flowers to my work. He tells me he is excited for us to be together. The night he takes me alters my life completely. I am broken down piece by piece, struggling to recognize myself when I look into the mirror. Am I going to have a normal happy life, will I ever get to be free of him or what I have become?
One thing I know for sure, I am no one's fucking duckling.
Anger. Greed. Humiliation.
That is what thrives in my world. Control over my life is something I have never been able to grasp a hold of.
Now, the leader of La Caìda is forcing me to become his wife with the help of my mother, and my little sister’s safety steers my cooperation. But the problem with being a part of his mafia world is that they yearn to know my secrets. Secrets that can uproot my whole life, secrets I planned on taking to my grave.
I can’t help but be consumed with the question why me. Why me for his wife, why me for this life?
Now I am faced with the most troubling question of them all: What am I capable of doing to keep my secrets from being exposed?
There are moments in your life that dig deep inside of you and alter you completely, sadly I have had a few of them.
One- life has shown me how cruel it can be.
Two- somebody took someone I love more than anything on this Earth.
Three- secrets of what blood runs through my veins have sparked trouble in my life.
I must battle between losing myself in grief over trying to find Andrea or harnessing the dark side of me. Blood will be shed, more secrets will be discovered, and I will find myself balancing the thin line between revenge and having no mercy.
I refuse to be a victim of greedy men who think they run this world; it is time to harness the life I have been swept into by its core. I just hope in the battle of finding Andrea and seeking revenge- that the two men I have come to share a piece of my heart with don’t get burned in the process.
“Come out, come out, from where you are hiding
come play with me, there is no use in fighting
let’s cry and scream and let me do whatever I please
because the demon in me wants to inhale you as your
nightmares become more than they seem.”
