Am I their partner... or their pet?

Victor promised me that I'd be one of the team. That I'll stand at his side, helping him mastermind my father's demise. I'll direct Saint to finding our enemies, and I'll tell Angelo when to pull the trigger.

So why does it feel like they're humoring me? Why is every single victory only followed by another humiliation? I need to prove to them that I'm important to their operation. I need to prove that I'm not expendable.

I need them to need me, or else I might end up shattered in pieces so small, there's no way to put me back together.

Note: This work contains extremely dark themes (see below) with potentially triggering content. Read at your own discretion.
*MMMf, dubcon/noncon, captivity, complete sensory deprivation, watersports/desperation, somnophilia, D/s, medical kink, drugging, cockwarming, spanking, breathplay/choking, enemas, M/f anal, double vaginal penetration, violence, blood, gun play, and more.


Wow! Honestly, I don't know where to start, my emotional are all over the place but, I can tell you I have been shaking throughout the entire book.

Loved the characters they were so, so dark but, then you had Saint that was a bit softer and kinder.I have real a lot of dark romances in my time but, this one was the darkest, I found myself uneasy and on edge the whole time.

The story was suspenseful, and it got more intense when body parts start showing up. A page turner, that is what this story was.

Lucia though, was our favorite character, we really felt bad for her and how these men treated her. We loved when she asserted herself and was feisty, and she never how to manipulate like the masters.

Overall, this was one compelling read filled with a lot of darkness and one intense read. The sex scenes were intense and some might call them hot. I will say this story and its characters are not for the faint of heart, and this is not a story for you if you have triggers. Wow! What and ending, we don't know what to say other than we are still reeling hours later after putting the book down.









“Thank you,” I tell her, and she tenses up so deliciously. “I think I’ve found our activity for the evening.”


“I’m not doing anything with you,” she says, like she really thinks she has a choice. “You can just fuck off, for all I care. Go spend some time trying to train Angelo if you need something to entertain yourself with. Or better yet, make some progress against my father.”


“Oh, Lucia. You’re forgetting something.” I take her wrist and begin to squeeze tightly. I don’t have Angelo’s sheer power, but I’m strong enough to make her wince and try to pull away.


“What?” Lucia asks, her voice suddenly high.


I look her in the eyes and say coldly, “You’re not the one in charge here.”
