BOUND BY BLOOD AND DESIRE Chapter 1 A PRICE IN BLOOD

The night smelled of rain and desperation.

Valerie sat in the back of the car, wrists bound together, her breath uneven as the vehicle rumbled over the uneven road.

The leather seats were cold against her bare arms.

The thin silk dress her father had forced her into did nothing to stop the shiver that ran down her spine. She was scared.

Tonight, she was being sold.

Like an object. A debt to be repaid.

Her father hadn't even looked at her when he signed her away. She hated him for it.

And now, she was being delivered to a man she had never met.

A man they called the Devil. A man named Mason Kingston.

She clenched her fists, nails biting into her palms.

She wouldn't cry.

Not in front of them. Not in front of the men who treated her like a transaction.

But inside, she was screaming.

The car slowed.

Through the tinted window, she saw it-a mansion draped in shadows.

The iron gates opened without hesitation, as if the world itself feared to keep him waiting.

A lump formed in her throat as the car rolled forward, stopping in front of the grand entrance.

The door opened, and a strong hand gripped her arm.

"Out," a deep voice ordered.

She refused to move. Maybe if she stayed put he would go away.

"Now," the man warned.

Gritting her teeth, she stepped out, the cold air biting at her skin.

A dozen armed men stood at attention, watching her with unreadable expressions.

And then-she felt him.

Before she even saw him.

The air around her shifted, heavy, suffocating. She couldn't find it.

And when she finally looked up-

Her heart stopped.

Mason Kingston stood at the top of the stone steps, watching her.

Dark suit. Hands in his pockets. A presence so commanding that the world seemed to bend around him. He was intimidating.

His eyes-black as the abyss-locked onto hers.

Like a predator assessing his prey.Her pulse pounded, but she lifted her chin.

She refused to be afraid. She tried, so she thought.

But then-he smirked.

As if he could see right through her.

As if he knew she was already his, watching her every move.

"You're late," Mason said coldly, with a bored expression on his face

Her father stepped forward, hands clasped together, his voice shaking.

"Mr. Kingston, I-I brought her, as we agreed."

Mason's gaze didn't leave Valerie. It made her uncomfortable.

"As we agreed," he echoed.

Then, slowly, he descended the steps, his eyes still very much on Valerie.

Each movement deliberate. Controlled.

Valerie's muscles tensed as he stopped just inches from her.

He was tall-towering over her.

His presence alone was suffocating. She couldn't stand it.

A gloved hand lifted. His fingers brushed against her jaw.

Soft and slow,deceptively gentle.

She flinched. She hated how she reacted to his touch.

His smirk deepened. "Nervous?"

Her nails dug into her palms. "I don't belong to you."

He chuckled. A dark, dangerous sound.

"That's where you're wrong, darling"

His voice was velvet and steel.

Then, he turned to her father.

"Your debt is paid," Mason said, snapping his fingers.

A man stepped forward.

Holding a contract.

Valerie's stomach dropped. She wished she could be anywhere but here.

"This is the agreement," Mason continued. "Your daughter is mine. And in exchange..."

His gaze flickered to one of his men.

A black bag was dropped at her father's feet.

Money.

Her father reached for it with shaking hands, but Mason's voice stopped him cold.

"Wait."

The air grew heavier.

Mason reached inside his jacket-

And pulled out a gun.Valerie's breath hitched.

Her father froze. He didn't expect this.

"You signed her away," Mason said, his voice calm. "And now I decide what to do with you".

Her father's face was drained of color. Fear evident on his face."P-Please-"

Mason's finger rested on the trigger.

Valerie acted without thinking.

She stepped forward, placing herself between them.

"Stop!"

The guards tensed.

Mason arched his brow, looking at her in surprise.

"Brave," he murmured.

She swallowed. Foolish, more like.But she had already lost everything.

She wouldn't let him take this, too.

"Let him go," she said, voice steady. "You already have what you wanted."

For a moment, Mason studied her, trying to decipher her emotions.

Then-he lowered the gun.

"Interesting," he mused.

He turned to his men. "Get him out of my sight."

Valerie let out a slow breath as her father was dragged away.

Even though she hated him, she didn't want him to die. Not like that at least.

Then-Mason grabbed her wrist.

Her pulse skipped.

He leaned down, his breath brushing against her ear.

"That was your one act of mercy," he murmured.

Her skin prickled.

"Do not waste it on a man who sold you for money."

Her throat tightened.

Because she knew-he was right.

Her father hadn't fought for her. Hadn't tried to stop this. He was shameless.

But Mason had.Not out of kindness.

But because now, she was his.

And Mason Kingston never let go of what was his.

Mason led her inside, his grip firm but not painful.

She refused to stumble. Refused to show weakness.

But the moment the doors closed behind her, the truth settled in.

She wasn't leaving this place.She wasn't free.She was trapped.

Mason's voice cut through the silence.

"You will stay in my house, under my rules."

She glared at him. "And if I refuse?"

He smiled. A slow, wicked thing.

"You won't."

Something about his certainty unnerved her.

As if he already knew every move she would make.

As if he was waiting for her to try.

She exhaled sharply. "What do you want from me?"

Mason stepped closer, his scent dangerous and intoxicating.

He lifted a strand of her hair, twirling it between his fingers.

And then-he whispered.

"Everything, because you're mine".

Her stomach twisted.

Because for the first time that night-

She realized she might have just made a deal with the devil himself.

And there was no going back.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
