Bella has no idea how she ended up in this perfectly tidy house that oozed out richness and wealth. One moment she was going through her life normally and the next, she was being beaten up to unconsciousness. She can't help but realize that her kidnapping has something to do with her father's occupation. Born and brought up with luxuries, she had never questioned Charlie's ability to throw money at her in every way, but when rumors started spreading around like wildfire by the time she was in high school, she knew she had to escape from him; she wanted to play no part in accepting his life as a mob-boss of Chicago. So she fled away to college and changed her name from Miss Isabella Marie Francon to Miss Isabella Marie Swan. It had been a few years of no contact between daughter and father, and now that she had been kidnapped, she couldn't help but feel as though Charlie was behind it. But when she gets out of the room she is in and meets a certain wild haired man with piercing green eyes who claims to be her father's enemy, she knows she is in deep trouble.

The spark between them is instant, but definitely uncomfortable at first. Bella is unable to meet his sharp gaze and his behaviors are starting to give her whiplash. He seems to be cruel for keeping her hostage in his house, and yet at the same time he offers her free reign to roam around his house and have meals with him during supper. When he suddenly approaches her one night to claim her as his, there is nothing she can do but allow him to have his way with her. What shocks her the most is that instead of being disgusted with the man for his actions, she feels desire. And somehow, she wants that connection with him over and over again just like him. She can't help but find the goodness in this dark man who seemed to only soften his eyes when he was staring into her own brown ones. What happened to Edward that caused him to play tortuously painful music in the wee hours of the night? And why is he filled with vengeance towards her father - what did Charlie do? Amidst all this violence and fear and suspense, combined with pasts filled with pain and sorrow, could their love make it?

Believe it or not, I just finished reading this story, and jumped to reviewing it as soon as I was done! If you are a huge fan of mafia-ward/mob-ward like I am, then this story will make it to your list of top ten. I absolutely adored this fanfiction and am so very grateful for that random email in MSB's inbox one morning that urged me to go read this story. LeeCullen89 has portrayed two beautiful characters and I found myself falling in love with her broken Edward. One thing I have to say to the audience is, please have patience with him. In the first few chapters, you may not agree with his actions, but have faith because our dear Edward has his reasons for everything. Yes, there is a chapter of rape between Edward and Bella, but I can't emphasize enough to you all : Don't let that stop you from reading the story! You have to understand that they both come from the dark world, and Edward has gone through some very f**ked up past that led him to where is now. And even while you are reading that particular chapter, you will feel that Bella is really not as apposed to it physically and she realizes that Edward never really hurt her, but his way of going about everything was incorrect. This story is about true love that strives to survive in the cruel mob world. Don't miss it guys, it's a MUST READ!!!
