The Marriage Debt (Dark Mafia Romance) (Debts & Vengeance Book 1)

Product Information

We’re both fuming in the car, refusing to speak with one another, and it feels like a goddamn volcano is about to burst. Why do you suddenly care about any kind of relationship with the Baas family?” I ask. “You despise them.” I blink a couple of times to remind myself I’m awake as the gun is lowered. The light turns softer until I finally see the one face that instantly makes me cry. My own damn father, who I haven’t seen in three years, is looking me dead in the eyes as he says, “Jill has nothing to do with this. Luca was going to marry Jasmine. That was the deal we made.”

She pushes herself off the cabinet and folds her arms. “All I’d ever heard him talk about was you. Even when he was planning the wedding with Jasmine, he couldn’t stop talking about the fact that he was never going to stop looking for you.” I can’t wait to tear these clothes off your body,” he groans, making me all the more aware of that blindfold around my head.You sure have a lot of convenient stuff in there,” I say, trying to lighten the mood, which is hard when you’re both naked. I didn't agree a lot of times with this h but at the same time i get her, but i still felt bad for Luca. He pulls me along, grabbing both hands to guide my way across some stones where soft sands lie between. A vicious smile spreads on my face. “You seem to be under the impression you have a choice.” I plant another hand against the wall behind her. “My ring is on your finger. You are my wife, Jill, from now until the day we die. And do you know what comes with that?” I push her chin up again to meet my gaze. “Marital duties.”

I nod. “I want you to live your life. Be happy. Don’t lose yourself in the family business. Take care of yourself. Okay?” I blink a couple of times to gather my bearings. It’s the middle of the night, and the rain is still pitter-pattering against the window. But the bed beside me is empty. Cold. As though Luca has been gone for quite a while.He cleans each letter meticulously, as though it’s a precious painting he wants to restore. I never knew he could be so gentle. And when he briefly glances up into my eyes with that devious smirk on his face, all it does is make me blush harder and harder. It sounds so strange and totally unnatural. Like I’m living in a surreal world where fiction has become a reality. A nightmarish world I really wish I could escape. The mere sight of him in front of me makes me want to spew lava at him. After all the lies, how dare Luca still try to keep me away from Liam? “Get out of the way,” I snarl. I lean up and look at my wound, which glows red with caked blood. But the lines are very clear … and they’ll definitely form a scar.
