"Now why don't you start telling me, what that motherf**ker was doing at your house yesterday...?"
"Ethan, please..., I-" she let out, despite the throbbing ache.
"Here's the thing, cara mia," he snarled in her ear, his hot breath hitting her skin like that of a scalding iron rod, "I don't tolerate opponents, I destroy them. So, listen to me and believe me when I say, I'm going to ruin him so bad that he will curse the day he was born and curse the day he laid his unworthy eyes on you. And this is a f*cking promise!"

HE WAS UNHINGED; SHE WAS HIS ELIXIR
HE WAS ADDICTED; SHE WAS HIS DRUG
HE WAS WISTFUL; SHE WAS HIS FANTASY
At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands.
Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire.
What is she to do when all odds are against her and the haven she sought after happens to be a playground for the Mafia ruler's son? Will her prayers for a life of freedom ever come true? If yes, then at what cost...?
