My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind.

In the ominous depths of darkness, his words echoed like a sinister melody. "You don't even know why you're here. Escape is futile. Pain will be your constant companion," he whispered, a sadistic grin curling his lips, the taunting action causing shivers to run down her spine. "You will suffer in silence, drowning in your vain tears." He spat. " Death will elude you, leaving you to live through endless torment." He gripped her jaw tighter, drawing it closer to his face as he licked his lips. "You're merely a vessel, that will be constantly hollowed out from within. Never forget that," He released her as his final chilling warning hung in the air. "Any questions?" he dared, tauntingly tugging down her gag, his gaze piercing her soul. **** Once, there was a girl, lost in the labyrinth of her own torment. Angy Leon.

She cared about her fellow man never giving thought for herself. She graduated from the University of Washington and got a job straight away working for Sinclair Industries . Her father and mother both thought it a good idea for Chelsea to meet, fall in love with and marry the CEO of Sinclair Industries, Christian Sinclair, a billionaire playboy. Chelsea was very naive about anything in his world. Their marriage was a story for the ages; big wedding, sexy honeymoon and once they came back to reality everything changed. Christian was not a nice man. After enduring two years of emotional, physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her husband, her life was thrown into turmoil after his death. Since she was his only beneficiary she had sole control of Sinclair Industries. She met an older man at a charity event by the name of Angelo Silvano. She'd had heard he was a honest man so Chelsea decided to sell him the company but maintained employment there. Silvano has twin sons, Adrian and Aiden, age 30. Would they be able to show her what love is really about? Would she let them in? Would they still want her after they find out about her past? Can these men, together, heal her broken soul and show her how worthy she is? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS! THANKS!
