"You stupid bitch do you really think I loved you? Santiago Valentine led to the destruction of my entire family, because of him they all died not a single one remained one by one they fell in your father's sick trap like mice. My dear Amara, do you know how it feels to watch your father being pillaged whilst you hide in a half-zipped suitcase? Looking at him being tortured blood everywhere and the people inflicting the harm laughing and drinking as if they're at a bar not at all bothered by the stench of blood everywhere or the screams of my father as they cut his fingers off one by one?"
"The look of despair on his face is still so vivid Amara but me what could I have done, a scrawny dumb kid like me? "
"Do you know how many times I wanted to jump out and do something but he wouldn't let me he kept smiling and shaking his head."
"Telling me no, that I must stay put. That smile was a sorry excuse for one though he was in so much pain, his entire body radiated that. His fingers were cut off, he had several non-fatal stab wounds, Sulfuric acid splashed all over his body, and at some point, even his tongue was cut out. All of these happened because your father commanded it! Do you really think your daddy was so innocent and upright? "
"He isn't!" "A beast disguised as a sheep that is what he is"
He destroyed my family whilst his family stayed safe, unfortunately, your mother died giving birth to you. I would have loved to have her here with me too, that would have made things more worthwhile but it's just you for now and that little thing in your belly.
So here is what's going to happen, Amara, my love, you will rewrite this letter. Of course, I could just kill you but that's no fun is it?
"no, it isn't you need to go through what my life has been like. Experience everything that I have suffered by now you should have figured out I killed your dad, not in the way I wanted to but he still died from my hands, after all, he raised you as a naive princess, not a dumb one. From today onwards I will be taking over the largest empire in Emerald City and Amara Valentine will be considered dead."
Everything your family owned will now be mine and you will be left unrecognizable, broke, and with no sense of identity. So say goodbye to that pretty face of yours.
"Boys bring in the large mirror so she can enjoy the makeover you'll are going to give her and remove the tape on her mouth. I'd love to hear the music as you'll get the work done.
" Mateo you bastard, my father would never do this you're lying but I'll tell you one thing what comes around goes around ten folds. You used me to get to my dad and you murdered him an innocent, kindhearted man. We shared a bed for years and yet I never truly knew who you were after all. I'm carrying your child and yet you dare to leave me stranded with absolutely no way out. Not even an animal will hurt their own child."
"On second thought boys, dislocate her jaw."
"mmmm!"
"But sure let me entertain you. Santiago Valentine was involved in one of the biggest drug lords Empire City has ever had, also known as the Raider. Fifty civilians died and even more, were injured let's not even mention the amount of police that dropped like flies. They're too numerous to mention, I'm sure you've heard about them. You know what's funny is that whilst his daughter is placed on a pedestal and treated like a princess. He has other individuals' children diamond mining for these pretty diamonds he has gifted you and sells in his stores. The catch is he doesn't care about these kids at all they're like toys, valued when new and thrown away when broken. "
"As for the thing in your belly, it might have been my seed but it's just a pawn to make your life more miserable. It has nothing to do with me whether it leaves or die has nothing to do with me haha. Just think about it your baby came from the balls of the man who killed your father and took everything that belongs to you. I hope the kid looks like me that'll be even better "
I sat there bonded and lost. Did daddy really do these things? Never he wasn't that type of person, I know daddy more than anyone else he'd never do these things. I watched myself in the large mirror in front of me and all I saw was a lost and hollow woman, devoid of the radiance that once filled her eyes. Daddy is gone because of me, how did things go so wrong so fast? Tears rolled down that woman's eyes but not because of fear but because of regrets, it wasn't over yet it wasn't close to it.
My entire body began to tremble as an unbearable, agonizing, excruciating pain passed through every single nerve in my body. Watching through the mirror whilst my face is being sliced up like I'm some type of livestock with a butcher's knife. Words can't explain how severe the pain I'm feeling is, it's too much, things began to get blurry, and the next thing I know I'm in complete darkness but only for a split second before I'm woken up to more pain.
This time I couldn't help it and let out a heart-wrenching scream as they fixed my jaw and then proceeded to pour alcohol on the hideous cuts on my face. I blacked out again from the sheer amount of pain but the smile on the face of Mateo only disgusted me as he stood there watching his men torture me with relish. If I come out of this alive!
I got off the taxi and began walking towards the door when I felt my whole body immobilized and my head bump into a hard chest. I backed away and said with anger "Hey don't you watch where you're going." I raised my head just in time to see a devilicious god standing in front of me. Gosh! those blue eyes mesmerized me in an instant but the moment, he opened his enticing mouth I was promptly awakened from the shock. He said, "Maybe you should make yourself more visible next time." "Bastard! Are you trying to say that I'm not worth your time, Pig, Ho I'm leaving, I shouldn't waste my time on a vermin like you"

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
