The head of the gang declared, kidnapped, and ripped me away from the love of my life and family.

Sid's a monster, but not to me.

He tells me he loves me and will die for me.

And he claims it's my choice—love him or choose not to.

No matter what he says, I can't stop yearning to feel Javier's arms and lips on me.

Nor can I forget the future he promised me, no matter how much Sid pressures me.

And the consequences of not picking Sid will kill my family and Javier.

All I want is for him to come rescue me before I have to do the unforgivable.

But I'm running out of time.
