Enslaved By A Ruthless Mafia Lord

Caught in the Web of a Merciless Mafia King --- PROLOGUE --- "Stella, why are you here?" Viper's icy voice halted her advance, its chill sending shivers down her spine. "I... I was just... taking a stroll," Stella stammered, fear evident in her trembling voice. "Missteps by slaves are not tolerated," Viper retorted, his words like a slap. "I'll be more careful," Stella sobbed, the pain radiating from the dagger piercing her thigh as Viper forcefully pressed her against the wall. "I promise I won't do it again." Hearing her cries, Viper reluctantly released her, his grip tight with anger. "Scram before I decide to make you work the stage," he growled, and Stella fled without hesitation. --- In a quiet suburban life, Stella shared a home with her mother, Alexa, and her younger sister, Maddison.

Now, fueled by revenge, Viper is on the hunt for Dean and his family, leaving a trail of uncertainty and danger in his wake.
