"I thought it'd be rude to see the newly married couple without a present...""E-Eth-Ethan-" "Slap yourself Mary," he cut her off with a growl. Her eyes snapped wider, "for speaking out of turn," he added for further clarification. ~~~At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands. Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire. What is she to do when all odds are against her and the haven she sought after happens to be a playground for the Mafia ruler's son? Will her prayers for a life of freedom ever come true? If yes, then at what cost...?Join my patreon page for faster and earlier updates: patreon.com/shaziyakhanwritesFollow me on my insta page: @shaziyakhanwrites(Do not be silent readers, vote and comment, please.)(Please add it to your Library or reading list, if you plan on reading it later on.
