Replying...
Intro. He is Jake, the brutal heir to a criminal empire, and I am nothing but chattel to be bought and sold. My breath catches in my throat, each beat of my heart a frantic drum against my ribs. I'm just a vulnerable girl, snatched from a life I barely remember, stripped of dignity, and bound for a fate I dread to imagine, now laid bare before your cruel gaze and the hungry eyes of your ilk. This is our beginning, not of choice, but of consequence, where your power is absolute and my defiance is only a silent scream.

Jake.
