In a post-apocalyptic world where civil war tears countries apart and savage rebels occupy the outlying woodlands, the only way to have guaranteed safety is to have either money, beauty, or power. And let me tell you, Jacqueline has it all... or rather her tycoon father has money, she has beauty, and her family name has power, but really what’s the difference?
For as long as she can remember, Jacqueline has been taught that she’s better than anyone beneath her, and up until her 18th birthday she believed it. That is until she’s suddenly snatched away from her lavish lifestyle, kidnapped by wild, painted rebels, and used as bargaining chip against her own family. She quickly realizes that the only way to stay alive is to change her name and pretend to be the person she most definitely isn’t.
It’s only when she truly sees through the mask of her glamorous high society, that she learns of a plot that could come to destroy everything that she’s come to love. It’s only then that Jacqueline realizes she must decide who’s side she’s truly on.

VIOLENCE,VERY MATURE CONTENT 18+ Bella - " Please leave me sir i am a very simple girl, i am not your type neither i am of your use, you will get any girl i be..... Michael - "don't push me baby, it will go in vein" - i opened the drawer simultaneously grabbing her hands and pulled a handcuff set from it. I cuffed her hands each side on the bedpost. Bella - "what why are you caging me .... Aahh what are you doing leave me for god sake... " - i started crying badly and was flinching whenever he tried to touch me. Michael - "now look at yourself, you look so beautiful tied up , in a helpless state, I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT, ANYWHERE I WANT WITH YOU" nowadays you will observe people with no obsession or no possessiveness for their lover or partner which is quite boring. Being possessive and obsessed with your partner adds more power and seriousness in the essence of love and this quote signifies my thought perfectly that "everything is fair in love and war". ENJOY the story of two people very opposite to each other where Michael Romano is ruthless and a cruel king of powerful Mafia Empire who have only seen gore and bloodshed in his life, he inflicts pain in a sense where you cant even imagine. On the other side a girl Bella Mathews with a very simple yet difficult lifestyle where she tries to earn for her family with handwork and wisdom. things will take turn when she will be kidnapped and ruined in the clutches of Michael.Complete
