I was sold to the highest bidder.
I expected a monster, a cruel, vicious man who would break me. What I got was Victor Perrigo. Older, rugged, and terrifyingly calm, he’s the kind of man who makes the world bend to his will. And now… I belong to him.
“Just breathe, baby,” he says when I’m shoved into his arms. Easy for him to say, he wasn’t just auctioned off like property.
I hate him for buying me. I hate the way he watches me, like I’m a puzzle he’s trying to solve. I fight him at every turn, desperate to escape the prison he’s built around me. But every time I push, he pulls me back, stronger, darker, and more possessive than ever.
What I don’t know is that Victor isn’t the villain I think he is. The more I fight him, the more he fights for me. And when danger comes knocking, I realize the cold, dangerous man who "owns" me… might be the only one who can save me.
And maybe I don’t want to escape after all.
A dark mafia age-gap romance where the line between captor and protector blurs.
