I should've killed her…but I'll make her my toy instead.

A wrong place, wrong time kind of girl caught a glimpse of my work in the Triad mafia. Easy fix—I should've taken her out. But the moment I saw her, I couldn't. Now she's caught in my game, and I'm not about to let her go.

I'm keeping her…for good.

Every second she's not under lock and key, my empire's at risk. My family's business, our control over this city, our everything—she can blow that wide open. I need to make her realize that this isn't just about her anymore—it's about survival. Not just for me, for her, too.

Because if she steps out of line, I'll have to kill her.

It's tearing me up—this pull I feel towards her, it's like nothing I've ever known. Loyalty in this business is a hard sell, and if she steps out of line, it's more than just her I'll have to punish.

Dont fall in love with your favorite toy.

The moment she caught me killing a rival gangster, I should have taken her out. Instead, I caught her and kept her, used her, and brought her into my deadly game. I thought I could have a bit of fun with her, but I might have just spelled my own doom.

Because like a fool, I fell in lovebut now I realize shes playing me. And we both might suffer the consequencesbecause if my father finds out who I let into our inner circle, hell kill us both.

But despite her lies, the pull I feel toward her hasnt stopped. I know I need to punish herbut first, I need to figure out how I keep both of us alive.

hey say the mafia never lets go. They were right.

Just when I thought I'd mastered the game, it twisted out of control. I've become the captured, not the captor, and everything is at stake.

The woman I shouldn't love—the one carrying my child—is now the key to my survival. Trapped by my enemies, each moment edges closer to a torturous end. Abby's life, our unborn child…my empire. All dangling on a razor's edge.

But she's no helpless pawn. If Abby plays it right, we might all make it out alive. But if she doesn't...we might lose everything.
