Luke's POVEverything was a blur after the explosion.All I remember is seeing my so-called brother standing in front of me, then another injecting me with cold fluid that almost immediatley had me drifitng off to sleep.Now I'm trying to fight the darkness that surrounds me but it just won't brighten. All I can feel are bound tied around each limb of my body, keeping from just barley breathing."Are the knives sharpened?" One asks."All ready, boss," Another answers."Alright, wake him up," the first voice orders.Ice-cold water is poured over me, wkaing me up fro

Maria's POV It's been almost a month now. A month of complete silence between me and Luke other then the casual words like, "excuse me, please" and "I'm going now". He took me out of the hospital only a day or two after my disaster of a breakdown happened in the NICU. Our house is currently being repaired and rebuilt, so Luke's taken me to his house in Italy where his family is. It's, of course, a mansion, as you would expect.   At the moment, i

Maria's POVIt's been a week since we've moved back here.Luke hasn't been to work as much and does what he needs to do on his computer here at home.I've mostly laid in bed all day everyday for the past week, staring at the wall in front of me thinking that if Luke had never found me, my baby would still be here.I don't know how I feel about Luke at this point.

He says about to leave but I stop him."W-what? Where are we going?" I panic.He sighs and walks over to the bed, sitting down beside me. "We're going to one of my clubs. You've been cooped up in this house too long, it's time y

Maria's POV A few weeks later...Life has never been the kindest to me, that's for sure. I mean look at my circumstances: married to the world's most dangerous Mafia King to give him a heir which I then practically killed. And I could go on and on, but even thinking about the child I couldn't save makes my chest ache. Now I'm here, given my perfect Karma if you think about it. I guess I really deserved what I got at the bar that night, I just didn't realize it because everything hit me so suddenly and the pain- oh the pain... To say the least, I was glad when I recieved my pain killers. I've been in the hospital now alone for nearly a month, having had two surgeries down on my wrist. Firs

WARNING: MATURE CONTENTMaria's POVI sat still on the cold concrete floor as screams of other woman echoed throughout the 'prison'.The dirtiness of the cell made my skin crawl and the screams that were constantly sounding throughout the compound didn't help.Only a few days ago I shared this cell with at least 5 other girls. Now, only I and another girl named Julie remain. The others were dragged out by a different man every day, one by one.Luckily, I haven't been chosen yet. But there is always a chance.Julie was a little girl, about 16, with blonde hair and big brown, empty eyes that often sta
