Incognizant Desires

An innocent woman. A corrupt and dangerous world. What price will she pay for love amidst the shadows?

Catalina

I rub the sleep from my eyes to find three handsome strangers surrounding me. Watching me with intent eyes.

They all claim to be here to protect me. Against whom I can't be sure.

I'm not even sure who I am, or where I am.

All I know is that my life is now far from my own control, and I am cut off from the world I once knew. My life is in their hands.

And despite their acts of kindness, something isn’t right. I sense there’s more than meets the eye, something dark and dangerous.

I’m starting to question their intentions and even though I know I should resist them, I’m drawn to them. Luca, the ruthless boss, Nico, the suave, charmer, and sweet, sensitive Atlas.

Now time is rolling by, and my feelings for them grow stronger.

l should be able to trust them.

So why do I feel like their prisoner?

Luca

What a waste of time. She should be knocking on hell’s door. Instead here she is, clinging to the fragile thread of existence.

And yet… I’m captivated.

The more I look upon her, the more her beauty pulls me in, and when she finally wakes, I find she is so much more. An intelligent, independent, woman who knows what she wants and most likely attains it.

But not this time.

She’s in our house now, and we have plans for her.

But I didn't expect those plans to include getting obsessed with her. I‘m afraid to open my already broken heart to let her in. Afraid to take the risk of getting hurt again, especially since I don't seem to be the only one who wants her.

And I can't play the innocent millionaire forever. When she finds out about who we are and how we tie into the underworld’s sinister web, will she still want me as I am?

A cold, hard, killer.

Not that it matters.

Love and loyalty is not something I can expect from her.

After all, she is the enemy.
