"....because your mine!"
I'm so scared, I dont know what to say. I'm his? I never met him in my life. "I'm not yours, I never was yours!", I yelled. "Don't yell at me baby, do you want to get punished?", he said in a creepy calm voice. "No I just want you to let me go, I'm pregnant. Have mercy!", I said about to cry. "No baby I can't do that. I can't let you leave me again. I WONT LET YOU LEAVE WITH MY BABIES!", he screamed scaring me more. What is he talking about?. "You need help Chresanto look at yourself, these are not your babies and I've never been with you before!", I said as clearly as possible. "Don't deny it", he said walking closer to me with each word. He came to my ears and whispered, I whimpered from fear. "You maniac, you disgust me", I said with hatred. "You'll learn your lesson later, enjoy your new room", he said with a devious smile walking out the room....

Nichole Patterson also called Nicki is a nice, beautiful, strong girl. Living on her own after her parents died with the money she inherited. In her senior year in highschool, she has only one friend. Jacob Perez. Very sexy, very nice. He's known around school, might even be considered popular. But either way he wouldn't care as long as he has Nicki with him. Knowing each other since grade school they grow up to love and trust each other. But that's not the point is it?
Chresanto August. New boy in school, seeking for trouble. His past a dark place nobody survived from. He gets what he wants and he wants Nicki. The first day of school there she was beautiful as ever. He needed her, so he took her.
Kalia's POV : Freedom ain't real. It's just a pretty lie people tell themselves to sleep better at night.
Me? I've never been free.
Not when I was born into a life where people used me like a tool. Not when I thought I escaped, only to get dragged back in. And sure as hell not now, trapped in a marriage I never wanted with a man who loves me like an addiction-obsessive, toxic, suffocating.
Easton swears I belong to him. Calls me his, like I'm a possession, not a person. But I was never meant to be owned. Not by him. Not by anyone.
And yet...
I'm craving the one person I can't have. The one man I shouldn't want.
Jay Kim.
My husband's best friend. The only person who looks at me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's game. The only man who's ever made me feel safe.
But love in this world? It don't come without consequences.
And choosing Jay? That'd be the kind of mistake that gets people killed.
Jay's POV: I never wanted this empire. It was my uncle's before me-a kingdom built on blood, corruption, and greed. But when he fell, I had two choices: take control or let worse men have it.
So I took it. And now? I'm doing what he never could. I'm fixing the mess he left behind. Cleaning up the dirt while keeping the wolves from tearing it apart.
But then she came back.
Kalia Gomez.
The only woman who's ever made me want something outside of this life. The one I can't have-because she belongs to someone else. Not just anyone, either. Easton.
My friend. My brother in arms.
I should walk away. Should forget about the way she looks at me when no one's watching. Should ignore the way my pulse fucking riots every time she's close.
But it's too late for that.
Because I might be trying to clean up this empire...
But for Kalia? I'd burn it all down.
