Prologue

Karina“WOULD YOU PREFER TO BE BENT OVER MY DESK?”For what seems like an eternity, I am silent.“W... what...?” I choke out.Raoul takes a look away from his computer to study me behind the lens of his glasses. His blue eyes are arctic with distaste as they take in the high neckline of the dress I have on.“Or would you prefer to fuck while standing?” He says coldly, his handsome face blank. I wonder if he's being serious or if he’s trying to scare me off.I hold on to the lapels of my coat, blood rushing to my face. I tell to think of how lucky I was a week ago when I had been blissfully unaware that my dad had screwed us all over.(One week earlier)I watch the coffin being lowered into the ground, willing myself not to break down. Mum is already a sobbing wreck and that’s not doing us any good. I look around. There’s a very small crowd of people who came to mourn my dad. Me, Mum, and Raine have made a pointed effort not to speak to me today.Dad had died as dramatically as he had

Chapter 1

Karina“NO! THAT’S LIMITED EDITION!” Mum screams as I scrape through her closet for things we can sell to thrift stores to get money. We can get about ten grand from her closet and jewelry. L’esattore won’t make us vanish if we can get him ten grand, I reason hopefully.Raine would be safe and I can get a second job or a loan from a less dangerous loan shark. I’m not dumb enough to try and escape or call the police. That would make him want to make us vanish for sure. I try not to think of where I would get the rest of the money from. The money I can scrape from Mum’s closet is as far as I would let myself think.“That was Aaron’s last gift to me!” She screams as I pack up a cashmere sweater.Well, Dad’s last gift to me and Raine was debt, so I’m not keen on those. It’s late right now but I've called a few thrift stores that would like to take on her clothes. I've even called a jeweler who would like to assess her gold and diamonds.She pulls the sweater from me and I hold on to it. I

Chapter 2

RaoulWhen Karina walked in, I could tell what drew Luca to her in the first place. Her thick blonde hair is tied at the nape of her neck, drawing attention to her face. She is bare-faced tonight, unlike she had been on that night four years ago. Those blue Disney princess eyes are wiped clean of makeup, framed by thick, dark lashes.She seems taut like she could snap any time soon. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.She is wearing a black trench coat which is not knotted, revealing a high-necked black dress. Almost like she is here for a funeral. Her funeral. She hadn’t dressed so conservatively four years ago. Her supermodel figure had been on full display, the low-cut gown exposing more of her full breasts than it concealed.She had walked into my Vegas casino with her father, all killer legs and lipstick and big hair. Luca—or the twenty million dollar estate in Santorini—hadn’t stood a chance. It had been horrible. Luca almost went bankrupt. His father had threatened to disinher

Chapter 3

Karina“I’ll send someone for you in two days,” Raoul says, draping my coat over my body, his gaze on mine. Then, he turns back to his desk and picks up the intercom receiver. I suppose that is my cue to leave. Awkwardly, I gather the coat closer to myself, making the buckle up even tighter. I bend to pick the discarded dress up.“Leave it.” He says dryly. “It will be burnt up later.”I bite my lip and turn, headed for the door. “And, Karina?” he says in a deceptively soft voice, making my steps falter to a stop.“You know what will happen if you run away, don’t you?”“Where were you?” Raine asks the moment I walk in through the door. She tries to sound flippant, but her voice has a bit of fear in it. She thought I had left.I flash her a reassuring smile, tightening my coat around myself self-consciously. She doesn't need to know what I just agreed to do. I will keep her safe as long as I can. That's the least I can do.She is lounged in front of the TV, scrolling through Netflix. Th
