Bound by Vows and Vendetta
I was born into a world where loyalty is currency and vengeance is law. In this life, love is a weakness... and I learned that too late.
My name is Aria Valente—daughter of a mafia kingpin, a pawn in a bloody game I never agreed to play. I was raised to be poised, silent, and obedient. But everything changed the day I was forced to marry Lorenzo De Rossi—the heir of our enemy, a man as cold as the steel he carries.
His touch burns. His silence cuts deeper than any blade. And yet, behind those dark, calculating eyes lies a storm that calls to the chaos in me.
We were never meant to fall in love.
Torn between family legacies and buried secrets, I uncovered truths that shattered the world I thought I knew. Lies. Betrayal. A history soaked in blood. Lorenzo isn’t just my husband—he’s the very weapon forged to destroy me.
But I am not the delicate flower they raised me to be.
In this world of blood and bullets, only one truth remains:
I will not bow.
I will rise.
Now, we are no longer pawns.
We are fire and fury.
And this is no longer a love story. It’s a war.

Chapter: Chapter 4Chapter 4 — Escape~ARIA~Everything seemed to blur after the moment I tossed the drugs into my mouth, defying him. A gunshot echoed, and I braced myself for the impact. For the pain. But instead, the nurse collapsed. The sound of her body hitting the ground was deafening in the silence that followed.I turned my head in disbelief, my breath catching in my throat. The scream came out before I could hold it back, ripping through the air as I dropped to my knees beside her. The blood... it was everywhere. Thick, warm, and spreading too fast."No, no, no! Please, wake up. Please..." My voice cracked, breaking under the weight of the horror that gripped me. My hands shook as I reached for her, but her eyes—wide open, frozen in terror—were already empty.Then, without warning, I was yanked back. His grip was iron, merciless, and I barely registered being thrown over his shoulder like I was nothing. My fists pounded against his back as I screamed for someone—anyone—to stop him.Why was no o

Chapter: Chapter 3Chapter 3 — Inheritance of Chains~ARIA~Blood.Disinfectants.The nauseating smell of the two mixing had me snapping my eyes open as a scream tore from my throat. The memories came back in an instant. The warm splash, the driver's skull snapping back.Another scream escaped my throat as I tried to get on my feet.Where was I?A firm hand clasped around me, trying to push me back down. "It's fine. You're fine," a soft voice soothed, but it did nothing to stop the fear threatening to suffocate me.I gasped, frantically glancing around, barely registering the hospital walls. A nurse with a kind face leaned over me, repeating the words she had spoken seconds before, "You are fine now. You were in an accident."I didn't need her to tell me. I remembered everything vividly. It played out in my head like it was happening again—the car, the gunfire, the crash. Lorenzo.Lorenzo.I tried to sit up, ripping at the wires and tubes hooked to my body. The universe, in a twisted sense of humor, had

Chapter: Chapter 2Chapter 2 — A Vow Written in Blood~ARIA~“Do you, Aria Emilia Valente, take Lorenzo De Rossi to be your lawfully wedded husband…”The priest’s voice echoed through the cathedral like a death knell.“To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse…”Each word was a chisel carving into my soul.“For richer, for poorer…”This wasn’t a wedding—it was a funeral in disguise. And I was the corpse in silk.“In sickness and in health, until death do you part?”Death. Oh, how that word hung heavy in the air—like a prophecy rather than a vow.I stood frozen at the altar, my mouth dry, my heart a frantic drumbeat beneath my ribs. The lights overhead felt like interrogation lamps, and the room swam in slow motion—faces blurred, whispers distant, all except the one man standing beside me.Lorenzo De Rossi.Draped in shadows, dressed in tailored black that hugged him like a second skin. Cold. Unmoving. Watching me with those arctic eyes that didn’t just see—but dissected.My lips

Chapter: Chapter 1Chapter 1 — Chains In Silk~ARIA~"Whatever you do, Aria... don’t stop running. Don’t look back."The words pounded in Aria Emilia Valente’s head like gunshots.Her heels echoed against the polished marble floors of the Valente estate as she flew past gilded mirrors and ancestral portraits that seemed to watch her flee. Her chest burned. Her breath came in frantic gasps. Behind her, the shouts grew louder—guards, her father’s men, hounds in human skin.Six minutes. That’s all she had before the gates were sealed. Before the men with dead eyes dragged her back and reminded her who truly owned her life.Freedom was just through the east corridor. Past the vineyard. Through the woods. And into the arms of a waiting car driven by a man whose loyalty had been bought with more than money—desperation.But then—A shadow moved. A hand slammed into her side, throwing her against the corridor wall with such force it knocked the air out of her lungs."Where the hell do you think you're going, pr
