“W-what’s this?” I asked in a wary voice as he slid a piece of paper towards me. “A contract,” he said nonchalantly and leaned back in his chair, entwining his fingers as he stared at me intensely. “Be my breeder for one year, and after that you get your freedom.” _____________ Mila Parker’s freedom is snatched from her when she is betrayed by her boyfriend and sold to mobsters to settle his debts. Now, falling into the hands of Dominic Silvetti, the don of the Italian mafia, and a man she shares a bad history with, Mila is given an ultimatum; Become his breeder for a year or forfeit her freedom forever.

View MoreMy head snapped up to see Dominic standing at the doorway with his head tilted as he watched us with narrowed eyes.I took a deep breath and tried to suppress the panic that was growing within me by steadying my expression. “It’s just something that has to do with my amnesia,” I tried my best to make my voice sound as small and innocent as possible. He hummed, and took slow steps towards us. The doctor instantly scooted away from my side and put a considerable distance between us. I blinked in surprise at how quickly his demeanor changed. It was almost as though he wasn’t the same confident person that was giving me instructions a few minutes ago because his expression returned back to the harmless state he sported before.His acting was good…almost too good, and it began to make me wonder if he had been completely honest with me or there was something else he held back.Could I really trust this doctor?“And why shouldn’t I find out about it?” Dominic’s question cut through my tho
Despite my racing heart, I kept on a straight face as the doctor explained my condition to Dominic. I couldn’t betray the fact that I was pretending to have lost my memory.When the doctor had checked my vitals earlier, I’d silently pleaded with him to play along with my ruse, and to my surprise, he agreed. He probably saw the desperation in my eyes.“So what happens now?” Dominic’s sharp question snapped my attention back to him. “Is there a way to get her memories back?”“Well…” the doctor hesitated, his gaze briefly flickering to me then back to Dominic. “For now, nothing can be done. And she mustn’t experience any form of stress whether physical or mental, otherwise her brain might be pushed into shock.”I was impressed by how effortlessly the doctor lied. His words were so convincing that even I might’ve believed him if I didn’t know the truth.Dominic let out a frustrated grunt before his piercing gaze landed on me, pining me in place. I shifted uncomfortably on the bed, my ha
DOMINIC’S POVThe little minx blinked up at me with those green doe eyes, so wide and confused that I almost forgot why I was fucking furious.I’d been in the middle of an important meeting when my men called to inform me of her attempted escape and accident. I can’t explain the panic that gripped me as I stormed out of my meeting. I bet she doesn’t even know she has been unconscious for three days. Seeing her head wrapped in a bandage on the hospital bed, made my anger sizzle. What the hell was she thinking?Did she really think she could escape me? Especially after she hadn’t yet paid for all she did?My fists clenched as I closed my eyes, trying to rein in my anger. One thing I prided myself with was my ability to control my emotions. It’s what made me as formidable as I am today, but ever since I saw Mila again, that control has been tested severally.“Ow,” she winced as she tried to sit up. I reached out to clamp down on her narrow shoulders. Everything about her was so smal
“I’m sorry, Mila. I understand your situation is critical, but I can’t help you,” Rosa finally responded, her voice firmer than the last time. My shoulders slumped as she gave me an apologetic smile before rising up to leave.An idea suddenly crept into my mind before I could wallow in defeat, and my head snapped up to glance at Rosa’s retreating figure. I had no choice at this point, if I wanted to leave this hellhole, I had to act now.With that resolve fueling me, I shot up to my feet, and with lightning speed I rushed towards Rosa. Just as she was about to open the door, I struck the back of her neck with the edge of my palm.It was a move my father had taught me during his self-defense lessons when I was a teenager. I never thought that I’d have to use it, but I’m grateful because it came in very handy at this moment. Rosa gasped from my sudden strike, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head before she fell to the ground, knocked out cold.A shred of guilt flickered withi
MILA’S POV“Why is she still knocked out cold?” I heard a voice ask as I stirred.My eyes weren’t open yet, but I was awake and I tried to recollect the events of the previous night, but my mind was still a blur.“I think the Propofol dosage administered to her was too high for her system,” another voice replied.And just like that, the events came rushing back.My boyfriend's betrayal…The auction…Stormy gray eyes…Cross tattoo…A sharp prick on my neck…My eyes instantly flew open and I shot upright from the bed.The man who bought me last night was…Dominic Silvetti!“Shit!” I cursed to myself as I now realized how deep in trouble I was.Dominic was the same man I had left bleeding in an alleyway five years ago after running away with his money.Not my proudest moment, I’ll admit, but I was desperate. My father had fallen from a building at the construction site where he worked, and broke his spinal cord.The money needed for his treatment and surgery was way too much and I even ha
DOMINIC’S POVIt was her.Seeing those forest green eyes, I was dragged back to that night five years ago.Back then, I was still my father’s enforcer, and he had sent me on a mission to collect a hefty debt owed to him. I succeeded in collecting the debt from the debtor, and even spared his life out of the goodness of my heart. But the bastard dared to send thugs after me to steal back the money.The thugs stabbed me before I could react, yet I managed to kill them all and retain the money. After losing a lot of blood, I became weak, and that’s when I ran into her. I pleaded for her help, but the little snake kicked me unconscious with the briefcase of money and ran off with it.My hand subconsciously brushed against my chest, and even through my suit, I could still feel the bullet scar located just a few centimeters away from my heart.The mark wasn’t from those thugs, but from my own father. “I don’t mix family with business, figlio,” were the words he had said before shooting m
MILA’S POV“Happy birthday babe,” Dane, my boyfriend of three years, engulfed me in a bear hug as soon as I stepped into the one bedroom apartment we shared.My body relaxed into his out of habit as the exhaustion from working at the bar all day weighed me down. “Thanks, Dane,” I managed a tight lipped smile as I hugged him back, the all too familiar scent of his musky cologne mixed with the stale scent of cannabis, tickling my nostrils.“You know how much I love you right?” Dane murmured against my hair before pulling back slightly to meet my eyes. “Yeah,” I mumbled, even though my words were a complete contrast to how I really felt. Dane always claimed to love me, but it never showed in his actions. I’d admit that things were rosy when we started dating, but after Dane lost his job, he became distant. I've been footing all our bills since then, despite already having a lot on my plate with my father’s medical bills.Dane let go of me and gestured towards the wobbly coffee table
