Heavenly Sins Series #1: Ruled by Fire

Synopsis

SYNOPSIS

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges.

I didn't wear the same clothes, nor did I wear the same shoes. I didn't need to go to crowded places when I wanted to shop because they came to me. Traffic? I didn't do traffic. We had a helicopter. And school... why go when they would just give me a high grade whether I attended or not?

Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. The kitchen never ran out of food because someone always stocked it up for me, and I didn't need to cook because someone did that for me too.

And yet, a year later, from heaven, I was dropped into my version of hell.

Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money that I don't really have much of now, to begin with, on food that will just end up being barely edible.

Was that the hell I'm talking about? No.

It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had a single meal for the day, only to end up having a gun to my head. Oh, and before I forget—kidnapped. At a grocery store!

My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.
