Page 1 of Betrayal (Corrupt Empire 1)

Prologue

Avery

Lying here, handcuffed to the bed, my eyes blindfolded, ankles bound, I wait for him.

This isn’t a story of love, sunshine and roses. This is a story of betrayal, murder, lust and deceit.

My name is Avery Daniels. I am the heir to my parents’ fortune and their multi-billion pound property empire.

The clock in the hall ticks. The only other sound in the air is my breathing. This game is one I play willingly. How I came to be lying in his bed. In the bed of the man who broke me. Who ruined my life. Who stole my future.

It all started one dark night. The last night I saw my family. The night I met him. The only man to haunt my every moment.

I am the heiress who disappeared without a trace.

This is my story.

Mine.

And his.
