A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

Vow to Protect

Since I was old enough to understand I knew I was worthless. A girl child when my powerful politician of a mother prayed for a boy. Someone to mold in her image. I stayed out of her way, until I couldn't, and she made me regret every stumble, every misstep, every breath. Like clockwork, she paid off doctors to drag me into a mental hospital at her most crucial career moments. I rotted behind cinderblock walls for six months at a time. It became my life...until I met him. Ash. A one night stand in the back seat of his car turns into my only solace while locked away. He pretends I'm just another patient, until I force him to see me...the woman...Kory...someone who needs him more than anyone else. My mother is a monster. I'm nothing more than a pawn. But Ash...he's my salvation. Hades and Persephone like you've never seen them. This is magic, this is menace, this is myth...with a dark twist.
