My heart hammered against my chest as I saw who was standing infront of me. I thought I had enough time to flee, guess not. I looked behind his back intending to run through the door, away from his heated gaze. "Don't you dare." His voice still made me cower in submission, even after all these days. "I won't tell what happened between us to anyone, sir. Please, let me go." "Never. I don't fucking care even if the whole world knows about us." There was that stubborn, harsh edge in his tone that ended any protest before it could rise in my throat. I had to get out of here before he did something I would regret. "I told you to wait until I came back didn't I?" Yes, he did, but that was the only chance I had to run away from his shackles and I wasn't no fool to not take that chance. Even if I was regretting it now. "Nothing can happen-" "Strip." His command made my reasoning with him pause. "Wh-what?" I didn't mean to stutter, but I was also one second away from fainting on the velvety carpet. "You know it won't take me a second to tear that pretty dress off of your body, so don't make me come there." I knew he could tear it off without even getting one hair out of place. As it wouldn't be the first time he would be doing so. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ [18+] Diamonds always stay hidden. It is us who have to find them.

Lennon Hayes lives a simple small‑town life until her family falls into debt trying to save their fishing business. In exchange for the loan, Lennon is sent to Serbia to "work" for a powerful Clan. In reality, she's a prisoner - a bargaining chip in a world she never knew existed. There, she draws the attention of Vuk Vukojević, the Clan's erratic, borderline‑psychotic leader whose fixation snaps into place the moment he sees her. Trapped in a foreign country, surrounded by danger she doesn't understand, Lennon wants only one thing: to go home and keep her family safe. But escaping a man like Vuk, and the world he rules, may cost her more than she ever imagined.
