I woke up in an unfamiliar room, tied to a chair. my eyes widen when I see the mafia boss watching me with amusement.

"Tch, If you expect me to beg, you’ll be disappointed." I scowled, glaring hard.

The mafia boss began to smirk, making my frown deepen. "Oh? Most people cry when they wake up in my custody. You must have a death wish, Your Highness."

I couldn't help but speak with a hiss. "And you must be an idiot to think you can keep me here for long. My kingdom will—"

The Mafia Boss leaned in twords me, his voice low making me lean back. "Your kingdom? Your own family handed you over in exchange for their safety. You’re mine now."

A frown of confusion etched onto my face, and my heart suddenly felt loud in my ears. "…You're lying."

He began to chuckle, staring down at me. "Believe what you want. But you'll soon realize the only person you can rely on… is me."
