Natalie Brooks was in the wrong place at the wrong time. One bullet. One alley. One moment she couldn't unsee. Now she belongs to a world built on quiet violence and clean hands-a world where people aren't hunted, they're catalogued. Where survival depends not on strength, but on silence. Vittorio Morelli doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't make threats. He runs a system-and Natalie has been absorbed into it. As her body heals, the rules tighten. She is watched. Measured. Prepared for sale. The man assigned to guard her keeps his distance. He follows orders. He never looks at her too long. And yet, in the small moments-water offered without command, dignity preserved when she has none left-Natalie realizes something far more dangerous than cruelty may be at work. Because in a world designed to erase her, being seen might be the most dangerous thing of all.

One year after escaping the nightmare that nearly destroyed her, Natalie built a new life from the ashes. A career. Independence. Distance from the dangerous world that once hunted her. Then Vittorio Moretti found her. Powerful, polished, and terrifyingly patient, Vittorio never forgot the woman he decided belonged to him. When Natalie is taken to his private estate aftr a failed escape leaves blood in its wake, she learns the truth of his obsession: He does not want revenge. He wants a wife. This time, survival may require something even more dangerous than running... playing along. * Claimed Under His Thumb is the dark romance sequel to Under The Devil's Thumb.

Victoria didn't just leave him. She escaped. For two years, she endured his control, his touch, his "love." Then came the night she vanished. New name. New life. New start. There's just one problem. She left carrying his child. Now, two years later, Victoria lives quietly with her son, hidden far from the man who once owned her. Until he finds her. Obsessed. Possessive. Unforgiving. He doesn't care that she ran. He doesn't care that she's afraid. And he definitely doesn't care that she tried to keep his son from him. Because in his mind... She was never meant to leave. Dragged into the world she fled, Victoria must protect her child and survive the man who claims to love her. Escaping him once was a miracle. Escaping him again could cost everything. ⚠️ Please Read Before Continuing ⚠️ This story contains scenes of: Domestic violence Sexual assault (non-consensual acts) Graphic abuse Psychological trauma The relationship portrayed in this story is toxic and abusive.
