Nerina's Pov
I was filled with terror when I saw him.
Ronan, my boyfriend.
Or should I refer to him as my oppressor? Not that I had any real choice in dating him; he was the most ruthless, fetishistic man I have ever encountered in my life. I first met him when I was just eighteen. Initially, he made my life easy, paying my bills and being incredibly sweet, but after a year, everything changed.
He took control of every aspect of my life. He derived pleasure from watching me be intimate with others and reveled in the moments when I stripped.
The people I slept with were dictated by his orders, his rules. He was worse than Rya, and there was no way to escape him.
His father was the head of a terrifying criminal organization that ruled this city, making it impossible to evade him. It was no surprise that he found me the moment I returned home; he had eyes everywhere in the city.
