Until She Tried to Leave

Every mafia king takes what he wants. Aaron Moretti took Elena—and then stopped. He guards her like a treasure. He watches her like a predator. But he never touches her. Three years of silence. Three years of longing. Elena convinces herself she's just an obligation. A ghost in his gilded cage. So she runs. And the monster she thought didn't want her… comes alive. The chains she never saw were always there. The hunger he hid was always burning. Aaron Moretti didn't keep her close because he had to. He kept her close because she belongs to him. And now that she knows the truth? He will never, ever let her go.
