<i>I escaped from my executioner and ended up in the arms of a much worse man. Lukyan Vasilyev will destroy me and I don&#39;t know how to stop him.</i><br /><br />TESSA. After my father killed my boyfriend, I realised that running away was the only way to be free. I no longer wanted to be Tessa Rivera, the daughter of the powerful mafia boss Giorgio Rivera.<br />For a year I secretly planned my escape and finally that moment had arrived.<br />My plan was simple, go to a charity event with my family, find a ploy to disappear from their radar for a few minutes and then sneak away, taking the first taxi I could get my hands on and run to the airport.<br />Quick and easy.<br />Nothing could have gone wrong, but then I had found myself alone, on the street, in the cold and without the shadow of a taxi ready to pick me up and take me away from my family before they discovered my disappearance.<br />Only desperation had driven me to do something that was not planned. To steal a car.<br />As fate would have it, that car had belonged to Lukyan Vasilyev, one of the most dangerous men in my father&#39;s rival mafia clan.<br /><br /><br />LUKYAN. Coincidences don&#39;t exist. Never. Especially when the Riveras and the Vasilyevs are involved.<br />Discovering that a silly little girl had managed to trick me and steal my car had made my evening more eventful than expected, but nothing I couldn&#39;t easily handle. No one could make such a mistake and get away with it.<br />Finding the shameless one would have been easy. Nothing could escape my control.<br />I would have made her regret having involved me and I would have torn her apart until I devoured her soul.<br />When I would return her to her father, there would be nothing left of the sweet, innocent Tessa Rivera.<br /><br />&nbsp;
