Rosita’s POV As I sat in front of my bedroom mirror, brushing out the long, pitch-black strands of my hair, a soft melody spilled from my lips—a song I had composed myself, a celebration of the freedom I was about to recover. In just a few short minutes, I would turn 24 years old, the age my father had promised to allow me to step outside the boundaries of this golden cage I had called home for the past decade. After the incident that had occurred when I was just 12, he had kept me locked away, homeschooling me and even arranging for my college education to be completed online. But now, the day of my freedom had arrived. I could hear the excited activity of the servants downstairs, preparing the mansion for my birthday party. My father always permitted me to step out of my room whenever he was present, though I knew his overprotective nature came from a place of genuine concern. Still, I couldn't help but feel trapped, longing for the opportunity to experience the world beyond th

Rosita’s POV A sudden flood of ice-cold water splashed on my face, which took my breath for a second, and I gasped, my eyes flying open to the sight of Silvia hovering over me, an empty bucket clutched in her hand. "Rise and shine, Perra," she mocked, stepping aside as a figure approached. Deangelo—the man who I never wanted to see again—knelt before me, his piercing blue eye fixed on my face. I flinched, unable to meet his eye. "If it were up to me, I wouldn't let anyone harm someone as beautiful as you," he murmured, a vicious smile playing on his lips. "But since you are the stubborn type, I'm going to have to break that spirit of yours." He paused, gesturing around the empty, filthy room. "As you have seen, it's impossible to escape me. I own this city, the cops, the authorities—they are all in my pocket. It seems you still have a lot to learn about the world." Leaning closer, he locked eyes with me, his voice hardening. "So, if you try to disobey me again, there is no tel

Deangelo’s POVWith a sigh, I folded my arms across my chest, watching impatiently as my personal doctor administered an injection into the unconscious beauty's delicate arm. I couldn't fathom why she had suddenly fainted—I couldn't very well have her dying on me.The doctor finished his work, carefully tucking the girl's hand back under the blanket. But before he could fully cover her, I snatched the fabric from his grasp, glaring at him."I will handle this," I growled, carefully placing the blanket over her lying body. My gaze lingered on her pale, beautiful face, a frown creasing my brow."Why did she faint?" I demanded, turning to the doctor. "Is she going to be okay?"The man's expression was serious as he met my eye. "Where did you say you knew her from again? Is she another one of your whores? How long have you known her?"I cut him off with a wave of my hand. "Just get to the point, underling."Clearing his throat, the doctor leveled me with a pointed stare. "Um, does she hav

Rosita’s POV My steps echoed through the hollow garage as I approached the black jeep, a deep frown spreading across my face. I couldn't believe Deangelo had the audacity to spank me—me, a lady of noble birth! The memory of his rough palm against my tender flesh still remained, and I shuddered involuntarily.Silvia's voice jolted me from my trance, and I turned to see the bitch placing a small communication device in my right ear. "This will allow us to guide you to the location you need to make the delivery," she explained.I nodded mutely, and Hugo strode forward, opening the driver's side door with a smirk. "Get in," he commanded.Reluctantly, I climbed into the jeep, moving to sit in the passenger seat. But Hugo's voice stopped me."No, what the hell are you doing? You will be driving, Chica," he said, his brow raised. "For your first mission, you will go alone, so the authorities don't get suspicious."I gripped the steering wheel with both hands, letting out a tired sigh. As I

Author’s POVThe first light of dawn painted the sky and shone on the city houses. Dolores stepped out of a taxi, hurriedly paying the driver before rushing towards the messy mansion. Her heart skipped a beat as she approached the mansion, her breath catching in her throat at the sight of the crime tape surrounding the burned-out mansion.A voice calling out to her cut through the air, and she looked up to see her boyfriend, Bruno, waving from the other side of the tape. He was part of the forensics team, standing among the uniformed officers guarding the perimeter.Dolores rushed forward, but the cops held her back, refusing to let her pass. Bruno quickly intervened, informing the officers that she was with him. Relieved, Dolores ducked under the tape and ran to her boyfriend, who spread his arms to hug her.But she did not return the gesture, tears welling in her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She cried, her voice hoarse. "Is Rosie, okay?"The guilt of forgetting her best fr
