Blurb

I felt his lips brush against my earlobe, a soft brush that suddenly made my toes curl. His breath lingered on my neck before he finally whispered, "I own you Crystal. The sooner you get to accept that the better for you. I'll make sure you submit yourself to me, be it the hard way or the easy way. And I'll break this ego of yours. I promise you"

  He was her beast and she was his beauty. He was addicted and she was his favourite drug. He was a sinner and she was his sin. 
 
In the blink of an eye, Crystal sees her entire life crumble with the death of her parents and she is forced to take a job that she would never have thought off to make ends meet for her and her sister and pay of her gambling father's debt to a crime boss-- being a stripper.

Just a glance on the doe-eyed milk skin beauty swinging her hips seductively on the pole and Leonardo already knew he had to have her as his. He had to claim her for himself. But he was everything she hated. She despised him and loathed his existence for the pain and anguish he had caused her and her sister.

  She swore never to succumb to him but what she didn't know was that he was also determined to show her that he would earn a place in her heart and life.

A Mafia's Obsession

 After that breakfast I had with Leonardo, I hadn't set my eyes again on him for up to a week. It seemed like he just vanished into thin air. 


 I had gone upstairs after having breakfast with him and sat by myself in the my bedroom-- or should I call it a prison cage. I didn't come out again until evening. I was truly growing accustomed to just enjoying my own company. 


 I felt free whenever I was with myself, away from the clutches of Leonardo and his callous attitude. 


The broad grin on my face when Maya had told me Leonardo had to catch a flight to Australia was so wide that it could have torn my lips apart. 


 I felt so happy. I felt so free. The beast was no more around me. Even if it was just for a short period of time, I still felt extremely happy and I had this sudden freedom to do whatever I want. 


 I actually thought of running away but I realised the brute actually increased the security measures inside and outside the doors of his mansion.
