Chapter 1 - Chapter one: Sold

The sun had barely risen over the crumbling mansion, but Alexa Morales was already awake, her heart heavy with dread. Her father, Carlos Morales, had made a deal with Vincenzo "Big Boss" Moretti, and now the debt had come due. The mansion's walls seemed to close in on her as the sound of raised voices echoed from downstairs.

Alexa's mother had passed away years ago, and her father's business had been struggling. She had tried to help, taking on extra shifts at her part-time job, but it wasn't enough. Now, she was the payment.

The front door slammed, and heavy footsteps approached. Alexa's heart sank as Vincenzo's men dragged her father out of the house. "No, please! I'll do anything!" he shouted, but the men didn't flinch.

The leader, a burly man with a scar above his eyebrow, handed Alexa a contract. "You're coming with us. You're Moretti's problem now."

Alexa's eyes scanned the document, but her vision blurred. This couldn't be happening. She was just a simple girl, trying to make ends meet. Not a pawn in someone else's game 🔥.

The men tossed her into a sleek, black SUV. The city blurred outside the window as they sped to Vincenzo's lair. Alexa's mind raced. She had to think of a way out.

The SUV stopped in front of a sleek, high-rise building. The men yanked her out and dragged her inside. The doors slammed shut, and she was face to face with Vincenzo Moretti 😈.

He was tall, dark, and menacing. His piercing gaze locked onto hers, making her skin crawl. "So, you're the one paying off Papa's debts," he drawled, stepping closer. His voice was like silk, but Alexa wasn't buying it.

She lifted her chin, trying to hide the fear. "What now?"

Vincenzo smiled, slow and deadly. "Now, you belong to me 🔥.

The men led her to a penthouse suite, the view of the city sprawling behind glass walls. Vincenzo waved them off, and they left, the door clicking shut behind them.

Alexa's eyes darted around the room, searching for an escape. The balcony was a dead end, and the windows didn't budge. Trapped.

Vincenzo leaned against the door, watching her. "Get comfortable, Alexa. You're going to be here a while 🔥."

She turned to face him, fire in her eyes. "How long?"

His smile was the only answer she got 😈.
