My mafia love
FINISHED BUT EDITING !! Kelly was taken without explanation-locked inside a world she doesn't understand, by a man she can't escape and no one to come to her rescue. Cade moves in shadows where power is bought in blood and loyalty is never questioned. Cold, controlled, and dangerously unreadable. He watched her as if she already belongs to him. She should hate him. The longer she stays, the harder it is to tell where fear ends and something far more dangerous begins. But Cade doesn't just take, He keeps. _________________ "You're shaking. I scare you." He said lowly. I stared up at him, my lips parted and nodded my head slowly, not realising my body was trembling until he said it himself. "You like it, don't you?" He whispered. ----------- #2 cade #1 KellyComplete
