For six months I’ve been locked inside my apartment, not knowing when someone might show up. Calls for help go unanswered, my chattering is the only thing keeping loneliness at bay, but I’m not a hostage. My father—the boss—is doing his best to keep me safe.
Even at 32 I’m not any better at saying no to my papa than the men who work for him. No one says no to Stefan Gemelli. Or at least they didn’t used to, but things change.
After my brothers death my father made a secret deal to try to save his dynasty, but I was the collateral, and it turns out, I already belonged to someone else.
Niko was my first love, my first heartbreak. Instead, he’s the man who took everything from me. He says he did it to save my life, but how can I believe him when everything I’ve ever known is a lie?
Why should I believe him when Im his prisoner now?
