Anya's POVBeing in a huge castle doesn’t mean you are really enjoying yourself.Just because you have all you need, that does not mean you are really happy. It can mean you are trapped. That was the feeling I had now. I felt trapped.Just because I am in a huge mansion, just because I have everything I want, people at my beck and call, didn’t mean I have everything I wanted. My life was a mess and I wasn't free to do anything I wanted.I was hit, slapped, beaten, degraded by the people I call my family. I so much wanted to leave this life.“Are you listening to me, Anya?” Aunt Alina asked.“Aunt, can you please leave me alone?” I scowled.“Mom! Call me mom, Anya.” Aunt Alina said, eyeing me.I scoffed, “I have told you times without number, Aunt, anytime we are alone in this prison,” I said referring to our house. “I will call you aunt because that is who you are. Only when we are in your so called parties or club or in front of uncle’s associates will I call you Dad or Mom. Other tha

Anya's POV A sound to my left startled me and my eyes widened. I realized I was deep inside the woods. Fuck. I did not even recognize where I was going. I tried to find my way back but it was all pointless.I kept my eyes straight that I did not see the slope in front of me. I slipped and fell.Pain exploded through my body as I tumbled down. The world spun around me, nothing but dirt, rocks, and chaos. My arms flailed, grasping at empty air.Branches scraped my skin, tearing through my clothes. My back slammed against something hard, a rock, a tree, I didn’t know.I kept rolling, my body bouncing against the ground like a ragdoll and my ribs felt like they were being crushed. I tried to stop myself, to grab onto something — anything, until I hit the ground, hard.The air rushed from my lungs, and for a long, terrible moment, I couldn’t breathe.My whole body throbbed, pain pulsing through every inch of me. My head swam, dizziness making it hard to focus.I swore underneath my breath

Vincenzo's POVI watched her for a moment, waiting for her to look up. I loved the fear in her eyes. Earlier on, when I pulled the trigger, she crumbled and I went to her not because I wanted to save her but because I wanted her to die when I say so.People call me the devil and they are right about that. I am a heartless bastard who don’t give a fuck about the woman in front of me.Since I brought her in, she has been staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing.“Sit down.” I used my authoritative voice on her and that worked because she looked up and finally stared at me.When her eyes finally met mine, I saw the sharp intake of breath—a gasp that escaped her lips before she could stop it.I couldn’t help the small flicker of amusement that crossed my face. It was there and gone in an instant.Despite how messy she was, she is freaking beautiful and there was something about her that caught my attention.Those eyes. Bright blue, almost unnaturally so. They were deep,

Anya's POV This was the third week of my stay in the Cassano’s estate. I was lonely here despite Cosima’s motherly affection.She was so kind and sweet to me and gave me the motherly love that I missed for a long time. She was my only light in this dark place.It was at times like this that I missed Erik. I miss his voice so much, I haven’t had the chance to try to call him but I wouldn't stop trying.I was currently sitting in the kitchen munching some fries and I was watching Cosima buzzing around. She was one energetic sixty years old woman. She cleaned her hands and sat beside me.“So bambina, how is your stay here?” She asked. She started calling me bambina after my third day here.I honestly didn't know the answer to her question.“Not too good and not to bad either.” I said.“I hope the boys are not disturbing you?” She asked.The boys weren't disturbing me but Vincenzo was always on my mind. I have been avoiding him a lot now.“They aren’t.” I told her.“Good. You will be in c

Vincenzo's POVI smiled as I watched them walk away. Alessia was the only one who can make me smile freely. She was going to make Anya her good friend, I could feel it already.Speaking of Anya, she’s driving me crazy. Ever since I gave her her first orgasm, she has always been on my mind.Her father killed my mother, so I was supposed to stay far from her, but I couldn’t think straight. Her freaking dimples was fucking with me.I need to collect all the information I want from her and get rid of her. I can’t allow my emotions to get the best of me.Matteo entered my office looking agitated. “Boss, this is bad.”He called me boss, so I guessed it was something really bad. Matteo is a very reserved person, so when he looks really agitated, something is up.“How bad is it?” I asked him.“Very bad.”“What is it?” I bit my lower lip, anticipating the news.“One of our bars has caught fire.” He said.“What the fuck! Which one?” I seethed.“Midnight lounge.”“Who did it?” I was boiling with
