Caged

They call me Dahlia now. A fragile flower plucked from my own life and replanted in the cold, opulent estate of Vincent Falcone. He took me as his own, a cruel possession in a world dripping with wealth and shadowed by his sons: Alessio, the calculating heir with eyes like glacial ice; Emilio, the brooding enigma whose silence feels like a constant threat; and Luca, whose hatred for me burns with a volatile intensity.

I am a captive in their gilded cage, every breath measured, every glance scrutinized. My heart, once my own, now beats with a constant tremor of fear beneath their watchful gazes. They despise my presence, a constant reminder of their father's ruthlessness. Yet, beneath the surface of their animosity, I sense something shifting, a dangerous curiosity that flickers in their dark eyes.

From captive, I am becoming... coveted. Their animosity is a tangled knot, slowly unraveling to reveal a desire I never could have imagined. Three brothers, bound by blood and a shared inheritance, now circle me like predators. Their claims are possessive, their touches illicit, their attention a dangerous game I can't afford to lose.

My heart, scarred and wary, is being pulled in three different directions. Alessio's sharp intellect intrigues me, Emilio's hidden depths beckon, and even Luca's burning hatred holds a strange, undeniable pull. In this house of shadows and secrets, I am learning that captivity can take many forms, and sometimes, the most dangerous chains are forged in desire.

This is my story of survival, of navigating the treacherous currents of a dark inheritance, and of a heart caught in the crossfire of three brothers who are determined to claim it as their own.

This is a dark romance reverse harem, meaning the heroin will end up with more than two love interests. See note before chapter 1 for further triggers and information.
