She is the Queen
However, this time he did a move that I didn't expect. His face turned dark, his eyes shaded black as he smirked in a very evil way. "Why aren't you scared, little bird?" As he pulled a gun from his pants and put it on the desk pointing it towards me, he said, "I can kill you and no soul would know about it." He chuckled again. I chuckled matching his energy. I wasn't going to give up yet. He was surprised by my nonchalance and satisfied by this, I sat down. "Fear is not going to save me from my end. Whether I die or not, it doesn't matter. I really don't care. Thats why I am not scared of you." *** Laila Pierro is a very intelligent young lady who gets kidnapped by a domineering tycoon leader due to her grandad's dangerous line of business.

Beneath His Control
He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon.
