"Ari, listen and listen well. You. Are. Mine. and no one disrespects what's mine. You are my Ari to love. My Ari to take care of. My Ari to touch. My Ari to fuck in any way I want. Am I clear?" He asks as I gasp out a 'yes Nic' in response. He wraps his hand around my throat and kisses me angrily before releasing me and running his tongue from my jaw to the base of my neck and collarbone.

Marked by blood
In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry... But the shock lies not in the woman, but in Marie herself. The little girl who has grown into a beautiful young woman holds within her a remarkable power and a secret that could tear the family apart... or bring it back together. But will they fall in love with her? Or into her trap? And does Lorenzo truly want the best for her... or is he manipulating her as part of a game much bigger than love?Complete
