He never asks my opinion. He never asks my name. He only gives one command.
“Anna. Strip naked with your legs widely apart on the bed. Now!”
Locked in his opulent prison, I am the property of a man who begged my father for my hand, only to reduce me to a possession he uses to satisfy his primal, animalistic urges.
I am his wife. I am his captive. I am his sex doll.
He enters my room, takes his fill until he is satisfied, and walks out, leaving me feeling dirty, worthless, and utterly alone. For every day of this forced marriage, I blame my father for selling me to a man only four years his senior—a man whose cruelty knows no bounds.
I cannot endure this. The shame is a knife twisting in my gut. I have to fight. I have to escape.
But when the man who owns you is the most powerful Beast in the city, who would dare risk everything to help you run?
A contract was signed. A debt must be paid.
He only gives one command: "Anna. Strip naked with your legs widely apart on the bed. Now!”

My only gripe was that there were some sections that were repeated whether it was word for word copies or reiterating key points over and over. The last ...

CindyXOXO: Loved it! Author does a phenomenal job of bringing the characters to life. The author also has a creative way of sneaking a little humor into these heart wrenching stories. I was on the edge of my seat each chapter. Kinda wish I hadn’t read the last few paragraphs, b/c I’m not ready to see anyone su...
