The year is 1829.  Jean Valjean, unknown to him, was less than 4 years away from his death, and his only hope was to escape his justified punishment long enough to save a small child from the misery of life in a fallen world.  He was aware of the sins of men, and the sins in his own heart, and justice was chasing him.  Would he save the child, before he was swallowed up?  

In March of 1829, the falsely accused Edmond Dantes escaped his prison, the Chateaux D'if, and shortly after he found the treasure of Monte Cristo.  Now, with his coffers full, he began the decade long process of exacting his methodical revenge on those that stole his life.

Here is a chance meeting between this supposed count and this true convict.  Justice and mercy meet in a Parisian tavern one cold October night in 1829.  Let us lean in and listen.

43 parts Complete Mature
The first time it happened, Capri thought it was just bad luck. The second time someone attempted to kidnap her, she thought it was just a coincidence. But when it happened again, she knows for sure someone is actively trying to get to her. Not knowing who to trust, she seeks refuge with the Moretti mafia family. * * * Capri had made a name for herself as a sought after hacker. But now, someone is after her and she needs a safe place to lie low while she figures out the identity of her latest adversary. But one thing she didn't count on is how much this latest chapter in her life is going to forever change her. Lorenzo is next in line to be the next Don Moretti. He is pretty much set in life. He's young, good looking, has girls throwing themselves at him and all the money in the world to do as he pleases. But for once, a certain blonde has caught his eye and this time, he's not the one dictating the rules, she is. * * * "Strip" I ordered. He wasted no time and did as I say. "Get on the bed." He climbed on my bed and lie down in the middle with only his boxers remaining. "Aren't you a bit overdressed mi amore?" I took his necktie and tied his hands together over his head and attached it to the headboard. "Ooh, kinky." He cooed, licking his lips in anticipation. Then, I climb down and stand next to the bed and take a few seconds to admire my handiwork before I went back to what I was doing on my PC. Sniggering a little at Lorenzo's expense. That should teach him to not mess with me. "Wait, what?" a slight panic in his voice, realizing that he had been played, he tried to pull his hands free. "Capri! This is not funny." * * * • MATURE THEMES 18+ • Started: 28.8.2021 Finished: 06.5.2022

I nod my head in response, as I couldn't think straight enough to form a full sentence. I felt a searing pain along with a loud slap, as his hands collides with my ass in a spank. " I asked a question." He growled. It takes a while for my brains to process his words, trying to remember his question has proven to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, right at the moment. The way his fingers slid down my neck and rested on the curve of my breast wasn't helping, as it made it even difficult to think. I could barely remember my name let alone his question as he squeeze my breast over my dress and slid his finger in and out of my wetness. " Pl-ease." I plead " Please what? " " I can- can't." I stuttered. "Uhn.. you can't even take my fingers, and yet you want my cock."
