it’s clear she had no idea where the kidney came from. Not that it changes anything. I’m still going to make her suffer for the rest of her life.
The fact that this is made into a romance sickens me because after what he's doing to her right now there is no redemption, no basis for a romance. I would hate that someone died for me but I would hate him for doing this to me even though I had no idea I was saved with a purchased kidney from a murdered person.
“I’m going to make you feel all the pain I feel and then some. Because of you, I have to live without my brother, so you’ll live without your daughter, knowing I’ll fuck her raw until she’s nothing but a ghost of the girl you raised.”
So the motherf*cker is rapist scum and I'm supposed to want to read the rest of this story? This one's gone too far.

“You are not my guest. You’ll prepare every meal. You’ll keep the place spotless. If your health deteriorates, your father dies. If I see you crying, your father will pay for each tear you spill.”
This kind of evil deserves the death his brother got. basically the wrong brother died.

“Her mental health is just as important as her physical health, Mr. Torrisi. This is a critical period after the surgery, and with too much distress, her body can reject the kidney.”
act of kindness
Okay, the author is delusional here. If some guy killed someone in front of me, kidnapped me, tortured me and my father, threatened my life and told me I was on borrowed time and he was just going to kill me at his convenience, him grabbing me and pulling me into his body would not be KINDNESS it would be revulsion that would make me so physically ill I would have a panic attack immediately after I vomited my guts up, so this is a STUPID scenario.
“Raping a woman just to have an heir is not exactly my style,” I growl. “Just because we’ll be legally married won’t change shit. She’s not just going to lie back like a good little wife and take it.”
I would’ve chosen death instead of getting the surgery because the torment I’m forced to endure in this penthouse is no life at all.
Even though we shared a moment, he’s still my enemy. He’s still the man who’s put me and Dad through hell. Shit, I screwed up badly.
In my defense, she could’ve stopped me, but she didn’t.
Seeing as how he threatened her father's life if she didn't do everything he told her to as soon as he told her to do it, and given the power imbalance from him threatening both her father and herself, NO she couldn't refuse so this was basically coercive rape.
“I don’t blame her. You’ve put the woman through all kinds of hell.”
“You’re my k-kidnapper,” I argue. “No. We both know that’s no longer the case.” He presses another kiss to the side of my head. “That ship sailed at the restaurant.”
Nope, not for me. As a reader I still HATE him and will until the last page.
“I forgive you.”
I am not the forgiving sort so I do not understand this or condone it. I think it's stupid.
“So, I forgive you for everything you’ve done to me and Dad because I understand the pain you felt when you lost Giulio.”
I might understand it but I would never understand transferring his rage to somebody he knew was innocent, so no, I would NEVER forgive him or forget.
He could’ve made my life hell until the day I died.
he doesn't need to he's gotten everything he wanted, her miserable and trapped for the rest of her life alone in the world, and her father dead. He got everything, at HER expense, to the ruin of her life, even though she didn't ask for someone to die for her and would have declined the surgery if given the chance to make a choice.
“I’m sorry for all the hell I put you through.”
Sorry doesn't do a damn thing. If it did saying sorry for his brother's death would have made him let her go months ago. So, it is as meaningless for him to say it to her as it was when her father and she said it to him, because it does nothing absolutely nothing to fix what is broken or take away and undo how he CHOSE to behave.
Walking to the Bentley and the man who loves me, I decide to stop fighting to keep Renzo out of my heart.
What a complete betrayal of her father and Louisa both, because renzo is a huge part of the reason they're dead.
Something good came from it all. Giulio gave me Skylar. Thank you, brother.
He doesn't deserve good things, her attraction to him is mystifying, and it's a shame he didn't get killed and Giulio didn't live.
