 "My gift has finally arrived, a perfect specimen, perfect for an heir."

If only I had known that I wouldn't ever return to my house. Never see my mother, my siblings, or Violet... I never would have gotten in that car. 

My father remarked, "She's all yours," 

"Dad? Dad? Dad?! " I yelled. I squirmed as tears began to stream, attempting to break free.

Years have passed...

 "My gift has finally arrived," said a voice I recognized. That voice was the catalyst for my downfall. 

"Well, now that we're acquainted, I think we can go see my son." You know, I purchased you for him. "A perfect specimen, perfect for an heir," he murmured, a nasty smirk on his face.

 "Son!" Antonio applauded. 

"What do you want, father?" I felt a little chill at the sound of the fresh voice. The Italian accent in the words, together with how deep, velvety, and dominating it was, shook me to my very core. I was a little pleased that he spoke so harshly about his father. 

He had midnight-black hair that fell in a part of his onyx eyes, which was lengthy in the center but short on the sides. Deeply tanned complexion, full pink lips, and a jawline with a five o'clock shadow. 

He was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt beneath that had the first three buttons undone, revealing some tattoos. His hands were encrusted with silver rings, some of which had black jewels. Both hands and backs of both had tattoos. 

I was intrigued by the creative swirls since I was ignorant of the whole tattoo. 

Not if he made the decision to remove his shirt.
