Wicked Demands

All my life, I wanted to be loved. Instead, I was ignored. My father gave me what I wanted so he could go back to ignoring me. Once I understood that, life became easier. When he arranged to marry me off to the son of his biggest ally, I didn’t mind. Marco was the older brother of my best friend, and honestly, he made me burn. I wanted to belong to him. I wanted in his life, in his bed, and definitely in his heart. It didn’t quite work out that way. So, I left. Then, one really bad decision lands me in hot water. Marco steps in. He thinks he’s a monster. He’s wrong. He’s my destiny.
