Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO

Mistaken Bride Of The Mafia CEO

Raven Statham has one week left to save her grandmother’s crumbling bakery before her mother sells it. Drowning in debts, rejected by investors, and clinging to the only legacy she has left, she turns to the one corporation known for rescuing failing businesses — D’Angelo Enterprises. What she doesn’t know is that the CEO is not just a businessman. He is Kade D’Angelo, the Reaper of the criminal underworld, a man who kills with the same ease he breathes, a man bound by a vow: marry before thirty-three, or lose his throne to his estranged brother, Damon. When Raven accidentally witnesses Kade murder a man in cold blood, she becomes a liability he cannot ignore. And when she tries to flee, she unknowingly signs the wrong contract — not a business partnership, but the marriage contract prepared for a mafia heiress sharing her surname. By the time she discovers the truth, five black cars are outside her bakery, Kade D’Angelo standing among them like the devil she had met by accident twice already. *** Excerpt from the Book: The door opened. A familiar smell drifted inside before the man did and my stomach twisted. Kade walked into my home, filling the small space with his presence. His eyes found mine immediately, cold, unreadable. Kade's lips tilted, just slightly. "I see you're just finding out about the document you signed, Miss Statham," he said. "What do you mean marr—" I started, clutching the file, eyes wide with disbelief. "Good," he interrupted, his voice leaving no room for argument. "Because we're getting married. Tomorrow.”

Chapter: Chapter Four
RavenSummer asked me to excuse the room a few minutes after the CEO left, and I tried my best not to collapse right there on the floor. Somehow, I managed to sound convincing, overly confident even, because Summer gave me an encouraging smile before walking me back to the waiting room.“They’re deliberating,” she said. “The company doesn’t waste time.”I nodded and sat down, clutching my bag like it could protect me from the memory of grey glasses that had sliced right through me. Ten minutes later, my bladder decided to join the chaos.I stood, excused myself politely from the others waiting in the room, and went searching for Summer again. It took a few minutes, but I found her arranging some folders near a glass office.“Summer? I… uh… need the restroom.”She winced. “The ladies restroom on this floor is under maintenance. Same with the one above and below. You’ll have to use the third floor.”I forced a smile. “Okay. Thanks.”The elevator opened immediately when I pressed the but

Chapter: Chapter Three
Kade, 32“Bold,” I said under my breath as I watched the little woman speak.The same woman who had swung a tornado kick at me the previous night, mistaking me for a petty thief. She’d grazed my jaw and then tried to fight me like she had something to prove. Now she stood in front of me in a blue top, black trousers, and heels, speaking with a mix of nerves and confidence that didn’t match her size.She kept avoiding my eyes at first, her voice shook a little, but the more she talked, the more she found her footing. She smiled once—briefly—and the room shifted. Not in a way that mattered, but enough for me to notice.She wasn’t tall, nor short either. The ponytail showed off her curly brunette hair, and her chocolate eyes held more life than sense. She didn’t look like someone tied to anything dangerous.Except she was.I remembered her the moment she’d attacked me last night. I had already seen her name in one of the reports the week before. I made my men investigate every CEO or bus

Chapter: Chapter Two
Raven“Did you forget anything at all?”Cameron’s voice dragged me back to reality as she parked in front of the impossibly tall D’Angelo skyscraper.I turned in my seat, taking a breath I hoped came off as confident. “No. I’m fine. Stop worrying.”She didn’t look convinced. She’d been on my neck since six in the morning, literally knocking on my door before the sun came up, despite me telling her yesterday that I could handle today myself. But Cameron being Cameron showed up anyway with coffee, a pep talk, and a full outfit suggestion.Now she checked me out again like I was her child on her first day of school. “Just remember—whether it works or not, you’ll find another way. Don’t beat yourself up.”“I won’t,” I said, offering her a small smile. “I don’t need the extra motivation though. I’ve got this.”The truth? I needed every ounce of confidence I could find.At least my outfit helped. My fitted blue top, the one Dad gave me two years before he died that I’d kept it spotless, wea

Chapter: Chapter One
Raven, 25“No.”The word shot out of my mouth before I could soften it, sharp, loud, and echoing across the polished conference room. Six faces stared back at me, all dressed in matching suits, all looking equally offended that I, the broke bakery girl begging for investment, dared to reject them.The only woman among them blinked rapidly, recovering her voice before the rest.“Mrs. Statham… please sit.”I remained standing. “Do any of you actually hear yourselves?” I asked, sweeping my glare across the long metal table, the framed certificates on their walls, the ridiculous vase of fake orchids by the window. “Two thousand dollars? For a bakery that has been in my family for three generations?”They shifted uncomfortably on their seats.One of the men cleared his throat and tried to lean forward like he was being sympathetic. “Given the state of the business, we believe our offer is—”“Insulting,” I finished for him. “You believe your offer is insulting, and that's absolutely correct
