The Mark He Bit Into Me novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

On the night of my eighteenth birthday, I slept with the coolest boy in school, Luca Vitiello.

I kissed him desperately, pretending I knew exactly what I was doing, hoping he would choose me.

He did.

When it was over, he pulled out a switchblade, heated the tip with a lighter, and carved words into my chest.

Luca’s Slut.

From that day on, I gave him everything.

When the pregnancy test turned blue, I thought things between us might finally change.

But when I unlocked my phone, I found my private video trending at the top of several websites.

Luca had done it. He even called to tell me.

“Now the whole city knows you’re nothing but a whore.”

That was when I learned the truth. He had come for revenge.

He said my father had raped his childhood friend, and I had to suffer the same kind of pain.

“If it weren’t for revenge, you wouldn’t even be fit to lick my boots.” He let out a cold sneer and hung up.

That same night, my father, a respected music professor, collapsed from a heart attack and was left

paralyzed.

Our house was auctioned off, and I was expelled from college.

I lost everything.

Seven years later, I saw him again.

Luca was now the head of the Vitiello mafia family, the underground king of this city, surrounded by soldiers, guns, and a fiancée.

And me?

I worked as a cocktail waitress in his rival’s strip club, making a hundred dollars a night and smiling no

matter what happened.

That night, the boss called me into the VIP room. When I walked in, a group of men stared at me with hungry eyes.

“Good evening, Mr. Russo,” I said, sliding onto his lap and wrapping my arms around his neck like I’d done

a thousand times before.
