Upon seeing the bruises on her wrist, I struggled to contain my rage.
Despite her objections, I refused to allow her to leave.
Whoever hurt this innocent beauty would pay dearly.
As a Russian Mafia crime boss who owns Chicago's most elite gambling club, I have very creative and painful methods of exacting revenge.
She seems too young and naive to be out on her own in such a dangerous world.
Needing a nanny, I decided to claim her for the role.
She might resist my severe, domineering discipline, but I won't give her a choice in the matter.

Resisting the urge to claim her will test all my restraint.
It's a battle I'm bound to lose.
With each day, my obsession and jealousy intensify.
It's only a matter of time before my control snaps...and I make her mine.
Mine.
