Possessiveness. Desire. Love. Dominance. Angelica Ziva Kareem. A beautiful, young woman, who aspires to complete her degree in Medicine. Her dream? To travel the world, to be free and to help those in need. Gabriel Dominic Rodrigo. Handsome, dark, possessive. Rich and hard working to the world above. Monster to the underworld. His life?

"You know baby, you were right." I ignored his usual pet names. "I usually am. About what this time?" I asked him, continuing to sketch his body on the paper.
