Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I want to make something very clear, principessa, if you ever let a man touch you like that again, I will kill him. If you ever touch another man, I will kill him. If another man touches you for any reason, I will kill him. Do you understand?”
Talking about not wanting her but he definitely wants her and Is possessive which I like
“You don’t belong to him any longer. You belong to me.” Why is she arguing with me about this? She has absolutely no reason to want to stay in contact with that piece of shit. “Block his number. Now.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, principessa. I do own you. I own all of you. One day you’ll realize you’re mine.”
She swallows hard. “And when that happens, will I own all of you, too?” “I’ll freely give you my body, even my money. But you don’t want my frozen heart or my tainted soul.” “I might.”
At that moment, I make the decision to claim her as mine. Really mine. All mine
“Give me some credit, principessa, I can be charming when the occasion calls for it.”
“Get your hands off my fiancée.”
“I told you before, if any man touches you, he’s dead. I keep my word, principessa.”
“If he’d drawn a single drop of your blood, I would have tortured him for days. He should count himself lucky to receive a quick death.”
“Don’t worry, principessa, one day I’ll have all of you: Your body, your heart, and your soul.”
“I never want to hear Kozlov’s name come out of your mouth again. Never speak it. Don’t even think it. He’s not worthy of his name upon your lips. Do you understand me?”
“Everything. I want everything from you, Sophia. More than you’ll ever be willing to give. Mark my words, I’ll take everything from you and more.”
“You’re showing how much you want me, principessa.”
“What did I say about rolling your eyes at me, principessa?”
“You’re mine now, and I will never let you go without a fight.”
“Which pills did you take? Answer me!” Releasing her, I open the medicine cabinet, searching for a bottle of sleeping pills, prescription painkillers, anything harmful in large doses. “What the fuck did you take?” I bellow.
“I also realized that I have very little self-worth. I’ve spent my whole life knowing, and accepting, that my life is not my own. My value is in what I can give to others. Without that, I’m nothing.”
“That’s not true. You’re worth far more than that.”
“You’re irreplaceable, Sophia. I’m sorry I’ve made you feel otherwise.” I’m also angry at her family for raising her to see herself as worthless on her own. “I promise you that you’re going to do great things with your life. You’ll find your sense of self. College is only the beginning.”
“I am. I don’t want to hold you down, principessa. I want to bind you to me in every way possible. I want to own you, possess you. I want your every lustful thought to be of me. But I don’t want to hold you back.” My lips brush against hers. “No one could ever take your place.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. You’re worth every effort, because when I look into your eyes, I see a broken man desperately crying out for help.”
“You’re right,” he whispers into my hair. “It’s unfair of me to demand everything from you when I won’t meet you halfway.
“You are innocence. You’re a breath of fresh air, a lifeline for a drowning man like me. I will do nothing but ruin you, taint you, and take from you until you’re no more than an empty shell. I should let you go, but I can’t. Not now, not ever.”
I don’t want Kozlov anywhere near Sophia. She’s mine in every way and I’ll abandon my entire plan for revenge to keep her safe. Not that it will go that far, but I’m willing to sacrifice whatever is needed to protect what’s mine.
“This will all be over soon. We’ll be wed, then he won’t dare touch you. I promise.”
He misjudged me when he thought he could kidnap my wife because of a late delivery. I’m going to burn him, and everything he holds dear, to the ground. No one lays a hand on my wife.
“Because I did this for you. I want you back, Sophia.”
“I know I don’t deserve you or your forgiveness. I know what I did was wrong and deeply hurtful. I’m so, so sorry. If you give me another chance, I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Please, I’m literally begging you, to give me one more chance. I love you, Sophia. With all my heart, I love you.”
“My mistake wasn’t marrying you, Sophia, it was not getting divorced from the woman I haven’t considered my wife in years. A piece of paper tied me to her and that’s it. My heart, my vows, everything I am and have belongs to you.” He scoots closer. “I love you. No one else, only you.”
“I will do anything you ask of me, except walk away. I’ll fight for you. If that means baring my soul to you, then let’s start there. I married you because I am head over heels in love with you. Every vow I uttered was the truth. But you have every right to know the rest of my story, too.”
“You shone a light on my loneliness, and the anger and hurt I’d been carrying around for years, festering like an untended wound. But you also breathed new life into my heart. When we were together, I started to forget about Olivia, and Kozlov, and my revenge plans. I didn’t care about any of them anymore. You captured all of me, Sophia.”
so. I never meant to hurt you, I only ever wanted to have everything with you. My life is not worth living without you as the center of my universe, Sophia.”
You see, I thought I’d fallen in love with Olivia, but I didn’t know what love was until I met you. Every past emotion I’ve experienced pales in comparison to what I feel for you every single day. I will never let you down again if you will take a chance on me, one more time.”
“Please, Sophia. My life is meaningless without you. But this isn’t all about me… We’re so good together. We belong with each other. We’ve both seen what our life could be like together if we give this one more chance. I promise that no man will ever love you as much as I do, principessa. You
have my heart, my soul, my everything. You are my everything.”
“I’d rather fall on my own blade than cause you harm or grief ever again, principessa. You have my word.”
His daughter’s the center of my universe and at some point, he’ll come to realize that.
“Welcome to my new home away from home.” “You bought a place across the street from campus?” “Of course. You didn’t think I could stand living an hour away from you, did you? This way we can be close, but you’ll still have your own space.”
“With this ring I vow to love you every day, to have no secrets between us, and to give you my body, heart, and soul. All of me is yours. Forever.”
“This isn’t a business deal, principessa. I want to marry you because I love you.” “And I want to marry you because I love you, too, Roman. With all my heart. I’m yours.” “Damn right, you’re mine,” he growls.
“One hundred and fifty thousand.” There’s no way in hell I’m letting that Bane bastard lay a single finger on my girl, not to mention his goddamn lips.
