Celeste is the newest emperor of the Rossi Familia. Despite her young age, she's gone through more than she should've. The world of mafia and coward men tore her apart. However, she hid her heart between a million locks to ensure she didn't g...

I took off my heels, my knives and my dress and got into my pj's. I went to the bathroom to get my makeup off and to brush my teeth. After I finished all of that, I went back to my room and collapsed on the bed.
"Please make this nightmare end. Please make them leave; I can't live with him under the same roof. I hate my life at this moment." That was all I could say. I hated it. I hated that I had to fall for him. In a few days. In a few fucking days, I fell for him. How was that possible after being so distant from other younger males?
Moreover, why on Earth did he do that for me? He's playing some sort of game. There's no way he actually thinks I like him. I doubt that he likes me.
We're rivals. Enemies. Both words worked perfectly to describe us.
All I could do now was go to sleep and at least try to forget my life for the night. I didn't know what might happen tomorrow, but I was a strong woman, I could get through anything.
I was sure the handsome idiot would eventually get out of my mind.
I got comfortable in bed and turned off the light with the remote. I closed my eyes and hoped to get a good night's sleep.

I woke up in a place I'd never seen before. It was dark, cold and humid. I was sitting on the floor, my hands tied and my mouth covered with tape. I noticed a door in front of me and heard some sounds coming from behind.
I thought about getting up and checking it out but there's only so much you can do with tied hands. However, before I could even get up, the door opened and three men came in. The light blinded me for a second, but then I got a closer look at the men inside the room with me.
Elijah Usoro and two others that I haven't ever seen. He smiled and got closer to me. I looked away.
Elijah was a perfect twin of Vlad, just much younger. His hair was dark, he wore a black suit with a white dress shirt underneath and looked at me like I was his prey.
"Celeste Rossi. What an amazing gift from my father." He squatted down and with his hand on my jaw, made me face him. "You'll be an amazing bride, Ce." I hated that name. Ce was the way Silas used to call me and that night he used me just flashed in front of my eyes. I killed him, but it didn't kill the pain and definitely didn't erase the memories. Elijah removed the tape from my mouth.
"Get your filthy hands off me." He smiled.
"I can't wait to touch you everywhere and give you pleasure no one has." I began to fill up with fury.
"Lay one finger on me and I'll kill you." He chuckled.
"I'm af-" Gunshots. Someone's here. Elijah was about to cover my mouth with the tape until I bit his hand. "Fucking bitch." I kicked him with my leg and the guards rushed in to hold me. I tried to move as much as I could to make it harder for them.
