His Dark Promise

Anastasia:

We all grow up being taught that every story has a villain, someone bad, someone who wants the worst for us, for everyone. The master of destruction, something so hellish that they even make the devil squirm; however we don't always end up marrying our villains, the princess is supposed to slay the beast and yet I still can't bring myself to slaughter my villain.

His name is Vincenzo Romano...

My childhood best friend's older brother is like a scary movie that you can't help but watch. He's beautiful, powerful, and especially ruthless. The head of the Sicilian Mafia, now ruling over the world like a god, he sees me as nothing more than an annoyance, and now... a murderer, a traitor, a... nothing.

But I saw him...

I watched him, I heard him. The things he had done, the crimes he had committed... for years, I watched, unable to look away.

Now, I was getting married to him, and living with him like we were some perfect happy little couple, but we were missing only one thing, Love. I still watch him sometimes when he doesn't notice, because I can't help it, I'm like an addict and it's no longer in my head.

Because he finally sees me...

Vincenzo:

Her name is Anastasia, like the Russian princess.

My baby sister's closest friend grew up hanging around my house, constantly in my family home like she owned it, like she belonged there. For a time I would have allowed her to, until she did what she did best, destroyed everything. My past enemy and new ally's perfect little adoptive daughter, was finally ready to be sold off by her father, and I couldn't be happier with my newest purchase. I felt the way she froze beneath my eyes, the way she shivered at my presence, and most importantly how she submitted to my touch.

I hardly thought about her these last couple of years, but now with my little sister no longer in the way of us, and Anastasia alone, desperate at my mercy

In my house.
