Revenge

"Listen to me, bella," he leaned in closer, putting his hand on my thigh, dangerously close to my crotch, "if you breathe a word of this to anyone, I'm going to kill anyone who has ever met you in your pathetic life. I'm going to kill your family, your boyfriend, your cousins. I'll destroy your whole existence until you're not even a memory. And then, I save you for last and instead of murder, I'll torture you. I'll neck cuff you and electrocute your fucking nipples and carve my initials into your throat. Capisci?"

Tears blurred my vision and I whimpered.

"Do you understand me?"

"Yes," I whispered. The hand was now all the way up and he tightened it around my thigh. I clenched my legs and he looked up at me through thick lashes and gave me a smirk.

"Of course, if you behave like a good girl. I might let you blow me with that pretty little mouth of yours. Maybe I'll even fuck you if you want. And I'm positive you do," he said before standing up and walking to the door.

Zaria was 14 when she lost what was most important to her. Now at 20, haunted by the ghosts of her past, she lives in New York trying to get by without causing too many problems.

And, for the most part, she was succeeding.

Until that one unfortunate night where she saw a man get brutally murdered in front of her.

Now, thrown into a world of mafia and crime, she must do her best to navigate this scary nightmare and survive all while slowly falling for her captor, Enzo Valente.

He is dangerous and deadly. The storm of anger in his eyes burns bright. He is everything she should steer clear from. Yet, she was drawn to him and now it's only a matter of time before she gets swept up in the storm behind his grey eyes.

But now, he needs her as well. She's the only one who can help him get what he wants most, revenge.
