Bound By Blood And ObsessionUpdated at Jun 10, 2025, 04:46
He freed her from prison…..only to lock her inside his obsession.
Ever since the downfall of her family, Liora has never seen the sky or the outside world. She was locked in Bastion—a prison for traitors and their bloodlines. Liora didn’t know where the rest of her family was, that bloody night was the last she had seen them. But she knew her father and mother were dead. Liora couldn’t tell if it had been years or months she had been in there and the rotten stench of forgotten bodies was the only thing that made her aware she was still alive.
In the brutality of this prison, survival meant obedience. Silence. Submission. Liora knows better than to dream of freedom. In Bastion, hope is a weakness that gets you killed faster than the tortures and guns of the guards.
Until he appears.
Valerio Nero.
The most feared man in the underworld. Cold. Lethal. Brutal. Domineering. Untouchable. As the reigning Mafia lord, he controls the world with a single command and kills without mercy. No one dares cross him—not the law, his enemies, or death itself. When Valerio demands her release, no one questions him.
He doesn’t just want her. He owns her. It was a debt her family owed him and it was time to take what was his.
Valerio takes Liora from her prison and into his world of more brutality, cruelty, and violence. Liora quickly learns that Valerio’s world is far more brutal than the one he saved her from. But nothing is more dangerous than the way he looks at her. Like he’s already claimed every piece of her soul. His gaze is cold, possessive, and filled with obsession. It terrified her.
Yet, when she looks back, a part of her wants to submit to him. Part of her wants to be his.
As danger circles and secrets begin to reveal themselves, enemies appear and the truth of her bloodline and rebellion rises. Valerio becomes more dangerous and deadly and Liora must face a terrifying fate: surrender to him or fight for the freedom she was never meant to have. She must either escape his world or burn with him in it.
