Unwound. Seduced into Submission, #6

I live in silence, pretending not to see the danger behind the numbers. Every invoice I file, every payroll I touch, launders money for men who'd slit my throat just to make a point. Then Creed Kirkland walks back into my life. The man who once kissed me like I was his future. now stands in my office, eyes sharp enough to slice through every lie I've ever told. He doesn't know what I'm hiding. He doesn't know who owns me now.
But he's about to find out. Because I'm trapped. Caged by the Vincenzo crime family. Every breath I take is a risk. Every secret I keep, a noose tightening around my neck. I go to work, raise my daughters, and pretend I'm not slowly drowning. But Creed is the one complication I can't control. Protective. Unrelenting. Dangerous. The deeper he digs, the closer he gets to the truth I've buried. And in my world.Love doesn't save you.
It exposes you. And the truth doesn't set you free-It burns everything to the ground.
