He saw me once. And he never looked away.
I was having the worst day of my life when I first met Dante Mancini.
I didn’t know who he was, but everyone around me did. They spoke about him in whispers.
Instead of paying attention to the rumors, I got swept away by the heat in his eyes.
I was timid. A wallflower.
He was handsome. Much older.
He took me to his beautiful Italian mansion and gave me a proposition.
‘Be my wife’, he said. ‘For six months.’
It was a temporary arrangement, but the lines between right and wrong blurred with every day that passed.
He called me his little darling.
And in the middle of the night, when he pressed his body against mine, I called him ‘Daddy’.
He became my protector.
Someone in this world I could finally trust.
But the more I learn about his past, the less I understand his motivations.
And just as all of his secrets start to unravel, he tells me that the deal is off.
I belong to him now—whether I like it or not.
