OWNED BY THE VICIOUS MAFIA LORD: Sold to the highest bidder
Sold to the Highest Bidder
(Book 1 in the Sold series)
She begged him to save her.
Now, she belongs to a monster.
She should have died with them. That’s what the man who slaughtered her family whispered in her ear as he dragged her away from the blood-soaked floor of her childhood home. But instead of a quick death, he had other plans.
A girl as rare and beautiful as her was worth more alive than dead. And so, Evadne Sinclair was thrown into a cage, hidden beneath the filth of the underground, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.
When she was forced onto the auction stage, chains biting into her wrists, she knew begging was useless. The men before her were nothing but predators, circling their prey, hungry to devour. She had no savior. No way out.
Until him.
Dante Moretti. Cold. Untouchable. The Mafia’s deadliest king.
She didn’t know why she begged him—only that she did.
> "Than…thank you…" she shuddered, her body tangling as the chains rattled behind her while she walked alongside the mean-looking man she believed had just saved her from a worse fate.
He was cold. Mean. She didn’t know why she thought he was the best man to save her. She only found herself begging him to.
He raised his amber eyes to her, a slight smirk cutting across his face.
"What’s your name?"
If she was shaking before, now she was trembling violently at his sudden cold and authoritative voice.
"Evadne Sinclair."
"Good, Evadne. Don’t thank me."
His voice was like ice. Deadly. Final.
"Because two hours from now, you will regret ever begging me to buy you."
One thing Evadne had no idea of was, Morretti don't save, he owns.

Chapter: CHAPTER 11. MASTER'S PERSONAL SLAVE.I didn’t see the Mafia again until four hours later, when the plane landed in Italy.To my relief, I had been left alone to brood. At some point, exhaustion pulled me under, and I hadn’t even realized when I’d fallen asleep.I only woke up when the announcer indicated that we were landing. For a moment, I was disoriented, confused by my surroundings, until Lissa walked in, gesturing for me to fasten my seatbelt.We exited the plane together. It was still very dark, just past two in the morning, as Lissa had mentioned. The flight from Russia to Italy had only taken four hours.Tension coiled in my chest as Lissa guided me toward a sleek black car waiting on the tarmac. I caught only a glimpse of Dante, walking beside the beautiful woman I had seen earlier—the one who stared at me like I was a problem she was confident she would eventually take care of. That one glance was enough to tell me Italy wouldn’t be anything close to a dream. It would be hell.Where would they throw me? The Maf

Chapter: CHAPTER 10. DANTE I sucked in a breath as his words sank in. He was the one who took the painting? The Mafia had known about me, since when?My skin crawled as I thought about the many times he might have watched me grow. Now I understood why his gaze felt so intense, so knowing at the underground auction. The feeling that he would have bought me regardless seized me whole. I wouldn’t have escaped him—that was what he meant.“You will learn to crave me, and that lesson starts now.” he whispered, taking his hands away from my throat, causing the hairs on my body to stand on edge.What lesson is he talking about? Sex? My breath caught. Heart racing, blood churning. We’re not even well acquainted and he’s already planning to have me? Is he going to force himself on me now? Here, in the fucking plane?My body seized right in his arms as he caged me in place. I wouldn’t let him touch me, regardless of whether I was his possession or not.I’m not owned by anyone... I won’t let this vicious man use me. I won’

Chapter: CHAPTER 9. YOU WILL LEARN TO CRAVE ME!I felt nothing. Just a hollow stillness, like I was drifting inside my own skin. They’d forced food down my throat. The fork trembled in my fingers. The food touched my tongue like paper. I couldn’t taste it. I couldn’t taste anything.And right now, a doctor poked and prodded, trying to figure out what kind of substances Dimitri had injected into me.All I wanted was sleep. A deep, long sleep that would end with Mama’s pancakes sizzling in the kitchen, and Caleste pouring coffee, her laughter echoing in the hallway.“Can you imagine, Mum?” I’d say, cheeks puffed with syrupy pancakes, “I had this awful dream where you, Dad, and Caleste were all gone. Then I got kidnapped and sold to some Mafia psycho who killed three women because I didn’t want to eat breakfast.”I almost laughed. Almost. But the sound caught in my throat and tears spilled down instead, hot and constant. I clutched the edge of the bed until my knuckles hurt badly.I kept replaying it. Those women had pleaded. They be

Chapter: CHAPTER 8. THE PRICE OF DEFIANCE.“It’s time.”Lissa’s voice echoed behind me where I sat. I’d tried begging to be left alone, but she had left me in the hands of women who refused to listen. They kept whispering that if I was found wanting by Master, they’d lose their heads.It was already late, possibly past ten but the unease never left me throughout the entire ordeal.I hadn’t even been allowed to bathe myself. Instead, I’d been made to soak in warm water for over twenty minutes. While I sat numbly in the tub, they kept urging me to eat, bringing platter after platter of food, saying I’d need the strength to face him. But no matter how hungry I was, I couldn’t force a bite down. Not even water passed my lips.The women had been clearly terrified. When they realized Lissa wasn’t nearby, they looked close to panicking. It might have been the perfect time to escape, if three of them weren’t simultaneously massaging me or applying ointment to my scraped knees.My restraints had been removed, and physically, I felt bet

Chapter: CHAPTER 7. WHAT SLAVE?Her warning stuck. I managed to pull myself together after that, but the questions still gnawed at me—especially now that a week had passed.“Are… Are you aware of my family’s condition?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I turned toward Lissa. My throat tightened. I already knew they were gone. I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that their bodies had been burnt beyond recognition. That detail alone would kill me.Throughout the ride, after the moment Lissa told me I was no longer in New York, I had sat in silence—more silent than I’ve ever been in my entire life. The disbelief clawed at my chest, so suffocating I couldn’t even close my eyes to escape it.Questions upon questions consumed me. I needed answers, desperately. I had to ask Lissa. Were my family laid to rest? Was anyone searching for me? Was there an investigation underway to uncover who had taken my family from me, leaving me completely alone in this world?The house had been on fire when I passed out. With

Chapter: CHAPTER 6. STOP THE FUCKING CAR!“The only person who belongs to Mietitore right now… is you.”For some strange reason, I couldn’t bring myself to argue with Lissa about that. The fire in her eyes had long died out, replaced by something eerily calm—and for the first time in years, I matched that stillness. Silent. Numb. I followed her down the hallway toward a single elevator.She gestured for me to step inside, then followed close behind. It was just the two of us. No guards. No audience. Just me and her.My mind whirled with possibilities. My hands were still bound, but the chains were heavy—heavy enough to do damage. One good swing could knock her out. If I timed it right, I might even make it out.But something held me back.She’d worked for the Mafia. That much was clear. The way she moved, spoke, and even blinked oozed control. She’d probably handled dozens of girls like me, maybe even worse. The confidence in her gaze made me hesitate. She wasn’t scared. Not one bit.Still, I studied her.Lissa was dressed in
