What they saw was forbidden. A treacherous love is the only thing that might get them out alive.Johnathan All I had to do was obey the rules— why is that so hard?I spent my entire life trying to smother my guilt. I've tried to be the monster they want me to be, tried to be the mafia prince my father needs me to be, but everything I do is a **** up. I'm alone, sentenced to be my father's slave for betraying the family and lost in the dark. Until you showed up, at least.I'm obsessed with you, Ellie. From the moment I saw you. But trying to save you just put us in more danger. We saw something we shouldn't have, witnessed my father's ultimate sin, and now I can't let you go. We're bound together and this time, I promise I won't screw it up. I can't screw it up.Eleonora I work better alone.I've taken care of everyone since I was a child— my father, our slaughterhouse, the finances. When Samuel Slater offered Dad another twisted opportunity to get out of debt, I knew I'd have to spend the rest of my life fighting it. He's a shark and my father is blood in the water. It was only a matter of time— but I didn't count on you.I didn't count on falling in love with my enemy's son.And I didn't count on losing my father to the monster in us all.John, you're the only person who can get me out of this mess, but I don't know how to trust you. After what I've seen, I don't know how to trust anyone.How are you supposed to save us if you can't even save yourself?How do I trust a man when I've seen what one is capable of?
