Description
In a world where the Mafia has risen, and certain corporations hold more power than the government itself, Amelia Carter discovers that behind the veiled curtains of restored 'peace', lies a world of danger and conspiracy that could never be imagined. She must navigate through a world where she is wanted, and where nobody is to be trusted: her first love, an old friend, her captor. They all want her, but for what agendas? "I see you are just as feisty as you were all those years ago Amelia" he chuckles lowly into my ear, and to my horror, butterflies seem to settle in my stomach, fluttering and melting into a fiery death against the hot dread in my core. He squeezes my arm behind my back harder, and tears escape my eyes as I squirm in the uncomfortable position he put me in, my arm beginning to burn. "Just-- l--let me go please Aaron" I attempt to say loudly, but it comes out as a pathetic whimper. I feel him squeeze my arm tighter, causing me to squeal in pain. "There's one thing I do know Amelia, and that is that I will not let you slip out of my hands again, not now" he says before letting go of me, and I fall to the ground with a loud thump.
