The Captive
I was stolen in a room full of chandeliers. ✨
One blink and the world narrowed to his hand on my back, his rules in my ear, his city swallowing my name.
Cassian Veylor is a ruthless mafia king who calls me little star and builds a cage that looks like a throne. 🔒 He says he is protecting me. He says I am safe in his house, in his lap, in the space between his heartbeat and my breath. I tell myself I hate him. I tell myself I will escape. I tell myself a lot of things at night.
But storms keep finding us, and the cameras never blink. 🌧️ I keep wearing velvet and defiance, smiling under chandeliers while I memorize exits and count the locks. He is patient, precise, impossibly controlled. And I am tired of pretending I cannot feel the way his attention remakes a room, a rumor, a life.
This is not a fairytale. It is a coronation. If I stay, it is because I chose the crown. 👑
Captive is a twisted dark mafia captor romance set in Venice, where obsession tastes like sin and survival looks like a practiced smile. Expect a possessive antihero, forced proximity, knife-edge tension, psychological games, and a captive queen who learns to hold her own key. 🗝️ No neat happily-ever-after — only a dark triumph.
