**Trigger warnings in this book. Proceed with caution.** Violet is a small-town girl from Ohio. Little does she know her father is a well know Capo in the Mafia world. He has kept her hidden from his enemies and only those in his inner circle know about her. That is why he moved to such a small town to keep from being found. Her best friend and secret crush, Mike, has grown up with her and was tasked by her father to be by her side once they were old enough.

He wants her and he will stop at nothing to have her. What will happen when Ted puts his plan into action and takes Violet? Will Mike be able to save her in time? How will Violet react to the fact that her father is a well-known Capo?
I was at the club for the third time this week. I was sitting at the table with my friend as I watched her move around the floor. The way she moved, looked, smiled, and smelt. Everything about her drove me crazy. I have been following her for about 3 months, ever since I first laid eyes on her.
She paid no mind to me because I was a stuck up rich kid. I tried to talk to her so many times and she blew me off, and that got to me. I had to make her mine, no matter what it took.
I watched as she was dancing with a few friends when a guy came up to her. He leaned down and said something to her and my blood boiled with anger. Who the hell does he think he is?! No other guy should be talking to her but me! I watched as she was dancing and having a good time with her friends and that guy. A scowl came across my face as they were dancing. The way her hair moved when she swung her hips drove me insane.
When I saw her walk to her table and hug her friends, I knew it was time to make my move. I watched as she walked out of the club, looking at her phone. I got up and slowly made my way behind her. I watched as she walked to her car and fumbled for her keys. As she dropped them, I knew now was the best time to make my move.
My name is Ted DiBiase and I get whatever I want. What I want right now is Violet. Violet Rose....You WILL be MINE!

Violet
I was having a good time with my friends Nicole, her boyfriend Alex, Ana, and Mike. Mike and I have been friends forever. We grew up together and I supported him through everything. My life was not perfect, but he made everything better. When he got offered his dream job and got the chance to go to Florida, he asked me to go.
Why not? Being from a small town, I had to get out and live a little. So I moved to Florida with Mike 6 years ago and became friends with Nicole and Ana. We were celebrating my birthday, as well as Mike's, and Mike's acceptance into his new job. We were all having a good time until I looked over and saw HIM, the guy that had been pretty much stalking me for months. I shrugged it off and focused on having fun.
Ted
I was watching her dance and have a good time. I should be the one over there dancing with her and not that other prick. He had his hands around her as they danced. She moved her hair away from her face as she was laughing at something.
I let out a frustrated sigh.
"When are you going to go for it?" My friend, Cody, asked.
"Soon. I think tonight is the night." I said, not taking my eyes off her.
"You need to do it soon, before someone else makes a move." Cody said, coolly.
"If they do, then they will pay!" I seethed at the thought. "She is mine!" I added in a cocky tone.
"Good luck." Cody shrugged. "I will get the car ready." He said, standing up to leave. I watched as he disappeared out the door and turned my attention back to Violet.
Violet
I was having a good time with Mike, when he leaned down to say something.
"It is getting late and I should get going." Mike said, a bit sad he had to leave early.
"Alright. Call you later." My voice was sad, not wanting him to leave. I knew he had to be up early, so I understood. He then walked off the dance floor and headed out. I danced for a bit more, having a good time, then took a seat to rest.
"I am so happy he made it!" I beamed at the thought of Mike's dream coming true. He has been working so hard to achieve this and it has finally happened. I was so happy and proud for him.
"So am I!" Nicole smiled, sitting with her boyfriend Alex, of about 2 years. They were so cute together. They matched each other perfectly. Their eyes showed nothing but love for each other and I hope to have that one day too.
"Tonight is very special!" Alex said, raising his beer for a toast.
"Huh?" I asked confused. They all giggled.
"Your birthday silly." Nicole giggled, raising her martini glass.
"Oh." I laughed. I really shouldn't have drunk as much as I did. I was always a little forgetful when I drank and had a good time. Alex then made a toast and we sat and talked for a bit. It was getting late and I was getting tired. Trying to hide a yawn, I finished my drink and set it down on the table.
"Well, I am going to go. See you all tomorrow." I said as I stood up, gathered my clutch and coat.
They all looked at me and frowned but said their goodbyes. As I was walking to my car, I could sense that I was being followed. When I turned around, I saw no one.
Hurrying to my car, I fumbled with my keys. Dropping them on the ground, I cursed under my breath. I bent down to pick them up and as I stood, someone wrapped an arm around my waist from behind and covered my mouth with their other. I tried to struggle but they were stronger than I. I did everything I could, from kicking them and using my nails to scratch their face. It was useless. My screams were muffled by their hand. I felt something cool and wet come to my face and then blackness.
Ted
As I was following Violet out of the club, I made sure no one was around. As she bent down to reach for her keys, I made my move. Wrapping my arms around her, I made sure to hold her tightly. She was kicking and scratching me, but it was nothing compared to what I have endured. Being in the type of business I am, you get used to being beat up. I got frustrated with her lack of cooperation, so I got a towel out of my pocket and placed it on her face. After a few moments, she stopped struggling and went limp in my arms. Making sure no one was watching, I threw her in the back of the car as Cody pulled up. Getting in the front, I looked back at her sleeping peacefully.
"About time." Cody mumbled as he started to drive away.
"Shut up!" I hissed. I was panting and trying to catch my breath. For someone as small as Violet, she sure was a strong one. No matter, I like them feisty.
"What?!" Cody shot back. "Took you 3 months to finally get her." He added, voice annoyed.
"I had to wait for the perfect time to put my plan into action. She was never alone." I said, feeling relieved and accomplished. She was finally mine. Mine to hold, love, cherish, and do as I pleased with.
Cody began the long drive to my mansion in West Palm Beach. The drive to Tampa was finally over. She was finally with me and that is how it is going to stay. After pulling up to my place, I got out and walked to the back, getting Violet out. I lifted her up and she leaned onto my chest. I then began to walk to my place and carried her up to my room. Cody went to his as I walked into mine. I gently placed her on the bed and began to strip her of her dress, leaving her in only her bra and panties. A grin appeared on my face as I looked down at the petite body that was now all mine. I stripped my clothes down to my boxers and climbed in next to her. I put my arm around her and pulled her on my chest. Looking down at her and rubbing her back, it gave me a sense of triumph. Her soft breath was soothing and soon I closed my eyes and went to sleep holding her in my arms.
