Betraying Family Vows

I thought revenge would feel like power.

Instead, it just made me look weak.

Dimitri Kastaris, enforcer for the ruthless Greek mafia, was supposed to suffer.

He was supposed to pay for what he did.

I slipped into his world in a red dress and high heels, spiked his drink, and kidnapped him on the night of his brother’s wedding.

But nothing went according to plan.

Even tied to a chair, Dimitri didn’t break.

He didn’t beg.

He just looked at me like he already knew he’d be the one to ruin me.

And when he puts a knife to my throat and vows to break me, I run out of options.

What should’ve ended in blood turns into something darker. Something addictive.

Now I’m his prisoner, craving the man I swore to destroy.

Every touch is a sin. Every kiss, a betrayal.

I should hate him. I should run.

But I can’t bring myself to leave.

I thought I’d be safer without him.

I was wrong.

The ones I trusted betrayed me.

And the man I feared?

He’s the only one who can keep me alive.
