Revenge was supposed to be simple, but love had other plans

Emberly

When an abusive ex corners me in a nightclub, I cling to the first man I see for protection.

Little do I know he’s a mafia Don, fresh out of prison and eager for a one-night stand.

One night extends into two, then three. I’m beginning to suspect I can’t leave.

But every time I raise questions, he answers with offers impossible to resist.

Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if I’m just paranoid or a pawn in a much larger game.
