Chapter 1

I obeyed the rules, Never stepping out of line, I knew my place. I was a good girl, until he ripped my heart from my chest and stomped on it and never looked back.I haven’t been the same since.My father makes sure he pervades me around to potential suitors, someone that will benefit his business. It’s always about the business. My father is far from gentle, he’s a callus man. Cruel, and twisted even to me, his own flesh and blood. The only time his features softened even the slightest is when my mother walks into a room, his eyes flash with lust, desire other than the cold heartless eyes that everyone else sees.I want that. I long for someone to love me the way my father loves my mother. I thought I found it, but I was wrong….so wrong.Sierra and I grew up on this island, we even went to college here not that I had a choice in the matter my father ‘Dwayne’ Told me I had to and I obeyed. Sierra stayed because of me she was dying to attend a college in Los Angeles California where
