"Prisoners of Love" Two souls bound by a destiny they never chose. One haunted by revenge, the other by secrets too dark to tell. When 19-year-old Liana Cruz wakes up in a stranger's mansion with no memory of how she got there, she's told she now belongs to Damian Blackthorn, a cold and powerful mafia heir who claims she destroyed his past. But what starts as revenge turns into obsession. Liana begins to remember flashes of a life she never lived, and Damian starts to question everything he's believed. As hidden truths unravel and fate tightens its grip, can love free them from the chains of the past - or will they remain... prisoners of fate?

Chapter 1 The Auction

Liana Cruz had never believed in fate-until the night it sold her to the highest bidder.

The room was cold in a way that had nothing to do with temperature. Liana stood barefoot on a small, raised stage, surrounded by faceless shadows cloaked in smoke and whispers. A red velvet blindfold covered her eyes, but she didn't need sight to know what kind of eyes watched her now-hungry, powerful, and cruel.

Her wrists were bound in front of her with a silver ribbon, tight enough to leave soft red marks on her pale skin. The silk dress they forced her to wear clung to her trembling frame, the slit riding high on one thigh as if she were merchandise. Which, in this moment, she was.

Her pulse beat wildly in her ears, loud enough to drown out most of the murmuring around her, but she caught snatches-words she never wanted to hear again.

"Is she the virgin?"

"Too thin, but exotic face."

"She looks scared. I like that."

The voice of the auctioneer rose above the crowd, smooth and unfeeling.

"Lot Number Seventeen. Nineteen years old. Educated, obedient, untouched. A rare jewel indeed."

Liana's knees buckled slightly, but she forced herself to stay upright. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her fall.

They had taken everything-her phone, her clothes, her dignity. All that remained was the fire burning behind her ribs. A quiet defiance she refused to surrender, even if no one could see it anymore.

"Starting bid: One million dollars."

A hush fell over the room, and then the bidding began.

"One point two," a man barked, his voice slurred with drink.

"Two million," said another, laughing like it was a game.

Liana's stomach twisted.

She felt like she might vomit.

Then came a silence that felt different-sharp, tense. It came just before a voice she would never forget, not even in the quietest corners of sleep.

"Five million," said the stranger.

It was calm. Cold. Deep. As if carved from marble and shadow.

The room stilled.

Gasps. Murmurs. Someone chuckled nervously.

"Sir, perhaps you'd like to-"

"Five. Million," the man repeated. "Withdraw the rest."

No one else spoke. Not even the auctioneer dared push.

A moment later, the gavel fell like thunder on the wooden podium.

"Sold."

And just like that, Liana Cruz was no longer a person.

She was a possession.

---

She didn't know how much time passed before she was pulled from the stage. Her legs were too weak to hold her. She didn't resist when the strong arms lifted her, but she tensed at the feel of warm breath near her ear.

"I just bought you," the voice murmured, barely louder than a whisper. "And now you belong to me."

Liana's whole body went rigid.

It was him. The man with the voice like frost and fire.

"Put me down," she hissed, struggling in his grip. "I'm not yours. I don't care how much money you threw at those monsters-"

"You'll speak when spoken to," he cut in, his tone sharp but unnervingly calm.

She opened her mouth to argue again, but something about his grip stopped her. He wasn't touching her violently-yet somehow, it was clear he could. He carried her like one would carry a fragile box that might shatter or explode.

"Let me go," she growled, teeth clenched.

A low laugh escaped him, but it held no joy.

"You want to run?" he said softly. "Fine. But know this-if you escape, the next place you'll be auctioned will make this look like a charity ball."

She stilled.

Because she believed him.

He carried her into a long corridor, lit by golden chandeliers and framed paintings of men who looked like they never smiled. The air smelled of money and blood.

He didn't say another word until they reached a sleek, black car waiting at the back of the estate. A man in a suit held the door open, not once meeting Liana's eyes.

Inside, the air was heavy with silence.

The stranger-her buyer-sat beside her, legs crossed, fingers steepled under his chin. He had removed her blindfold just before entering the car, and now she could see him clearly.

He looked... too perfect.

Dark hair, sharply cut. Piercing grey eyes. Clean-shaven jawline and a mouth set in a permanent frown. He wore black-of course-and sat like someone used to commanding rooms and people without ever raising his voice.

Liana had never seen a man look so dangerous without even moving.

She tore her gaze away, disgusted at the flutter in her stomach. It wasn't attraction. It was fear. It had to be fear.

He studied her for a long while before speaking.

"You're not what I expected," he said quietly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not your perfect doll," she spat.

"Good. Dolls don't survive in my world."

She looked at him sharply. "Then why buy me? What do you want from me?"

His eyes darkened, and for a moment she thought he wouldn't answer.

Then he said, "Revenge."

---

Liana stared at him, heart hammering again.

"Revenge?" she echoed. "I don't even know you."

"No," he said, eyes locked on hers, "but your family does."

She flinched.

He leaned back, watching her as if expecting something-recognition, maybe. But her mind raced blank. Her mother was dead. Her father had disappeared years ago. She had no brothers, no real family to speak of.

"What are you talking about?" she demanded. "Who are you?"

He gave her a long, unreadable look before finally answering.

"My name is Damian Blackthorn."

The name hit like ice water.

Her heart skipped.

The Blackthorns were more rumor than reality. A family whispered about in criminal circles, said to control more than half of the illegal trades running through the city-arms, secrets, and blood.

She swallowed.

"You think someone in my family hurt you?"

"I don't think," he said coldly. "I know."

He turned to the tinted window, ending the conversation as swiftly as it began.

Liana sat frozen in the silence that followed, her heart thudding like a drumbeat in a cage. She didn't know what was worse-the fact that she'd been bought like property... or the fact that she might truly be a prisoner of a man who didn't want her love or obedience.

Only her pain.

And now, fate had chained them together.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
