Chapter1
Nina
Georgi Torrisi; 35. Nina Pavlova; 27.
Bracing myself for whatever fresh hell my father has decided to unleash today, I push the heavy door open and step inside the office.
Boris Pavlov never calls for me unless he needs something, and it usually means I’ll be forced to suffer through whatever horrid scheme he has planned.
God help me.
The office smells the same as always. Expensive leather, cigar smoke, and whiskey. Scents that seem permanently soaked into the dark wood panels and thick carpets.
Scents that make my stomach churn with dread.
Lifting my eyes, they lock on the man who’s nothing more than my jailer. Hatred and unspeakable pain are the only things I’ve ever received from him.
Dark memories, filled with indescribable trauma, shudder through my broken mind.
Slowly, my gaze goes to the spot where my mother bled out on my eighteenth birthday. We were both called into his office, and when he ordered me to sleep with Anton Belinski so he could secure a deal with him, Mom fought back.
Boris beat her to death right in front of me for daring to oppose him. Up until that moment, I thought being abused by him was the worst fate I could suffer.
I was wrong.
Mom died, and I was locked in a bedroom. That same night, Anton raped me for the first time. My virginity was stolenviolently, and since then, I’ve been the payment for every deal Boris has signed with Anton.
