The Hernandez Trilogy #1 Women in our world were mere pawns in the games played by men. Our word held no respect or whatsoever. The only thing we were capable was for producing heirs and looking pretty in the arms of our husbands. And even though I hated it, I was forced to accept what laid in front of me. Being the only daughter of the Spanish mafia came with responsibilities. Responsibilities such as marrying 'il diavolo' (the devil) When I was young I always saw him as my prince charming. The one who is going to slay the demons for me. The one who would ride with me off the sunset. But this isn't that kind of world is it? There are no prince charming in the mafia. Especially not my devil of a husband who couldn't give two fucks about me. Every action of his is a part of the game no one knows about. And me? I'm just a pawn he thinks he is playing. But I think he forgot that the queen is the most important part of his game and it's about damn time I remind him that.

Charlotte Allen: Fame, Money, Power. I had it all. And unlike my other "friends" I thrived in it. Basked in the attention that came along with it. People called me an "attention seeker", a "heartless bitch" and of course the spoiled daughter of the one and only Robert Allen. They think that I have it all, that I'm this person I pretend to be. But there was more to that. There was more to me. Under the layers of makeup and fake smiles, there was an unloved daughter, an abandoned friend and a lonely girl with a huge void in her chest that only one person could fill. And after five years I was finally going to see him. The boy who used to fill that empty space. The boy who was once my best friend. The boy who made me feel the things I never did again. The body that took my first kiss only to abandon me when I needed him the most. Aiden Taylor: Mom always said that life was beautiful. That it was filled with colours. And I believed that. I believed that until I was thirteen but then the only thing I could see was black. Black as deep as the darkness that crept through every inch of my soul consuming every hint of light that has ever grazed me. And I let it. I let the pain, the sadness, and the anger take over me until nothing mattered. Not my dreams. Not my parents. Not even her, my only source of light that I watched being taken away. I let her slip away. I let her go. And now that she is back I don't know what to do.
