QueenFrieza

Excerpt: 
His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” 

Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. 

“Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” 

His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. 

Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.”

How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Sophia found sleep eventually. Luckily, it wasn't too late or she was certainly going to be in trouble for the interview the following day.

Her bakery would be closed to the public while they took pictures. They were due to come in the early afternoon so she would have time to prepare a few things before they arrived.

She was having a lighthearted dream that made little sense, but, out of nowhere, she jumped when something flew at her in the dream.

As she tried to get comfortable again, she heard another thump and her heart raced. That time, she saw a branch hit her window despite the tree in her yard being on the other side of the townhouse.
