BOUND TO KILL, BOUND TO LOVE
A year ago, Jonathan walked away from Mia without an explanation, leaving her heart shattered. Now, she is forced into an arranged marriage with the same man who once loved her, only this time, neither of them knows the full truth behind the union.
To Jonathan, the marriage is a strategic move for business purposes. To the mafia, it is a transaction, and to Mia, it is a trap designed by the father who never loved her. Raised and mistreated by her stepmother and discarded by her own family, Mia is sent back into Jonathan’s life as an entirely different person, hiding her true identity as the daughter of a powerful mafia lord.
But Mia is not as powerless as they believe. She is intelligent and already entangled in a dangerous secret—Collins, her hidden lover and a loyal mafia enforcer who will stop at nothing to keep her for himself. As old feelings resurface and buried betrayals come to light, love turns into a battlefield.
Caught between two men, two worlds, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Mia must decide whether love is worth risking her life, or if breaking free will cost her everything.

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR:My new realityMia's POVThe reception was being held at Jonathan's estate, everything about today was prepared and designed to establish Jonathan as the center of the marriage, the price.I was just a side character.The estate itself was bigger than ours, with a mansion that could probably house fifty people comfortably. Jonathan had built his empire from nothing, turning a small tech startup into a billion-dollar company losing who he was in the process."Your belongings were moved to the left sude of the house yesterday," Jonathan said, his eyes narrowing as we finally entered the gates after several long minutes. The first words he'd spoken to me since we met at the church. His tone was wasn't even conversational, it was like he was talking to his employee. "You'll have your own suite, your own office space if you need it. I travel frequently for work, when I'm home, we'll maintain appearances for necessary social functions. Beyond that, I expect you to stay out of my way."How charming. "Of co

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE: The weddingMia's POVThe wedding dress was all white silk and shit, like I was some virgin maiden instead of a killer coming in wraps like a flipping Christmas gift. Martha had picked it out personally, which meant it was probably cursed or hexed or designed specifically to make me look as uncomfortable as possible."You look beautiful," Clara said from the doorway, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. "Jonathan won't even recognize you."Won't recognize you, of course he wouldn't, because Sophia was dead and buried under surgical maiden."That's the point, isn't it?" I adjusted the veil in the mirror, studying the stranger staring back at me."Do you need something, Clara? Or did you just come to watch me suffer?" I smirked."Can't a sister wish the bride well on her special day?" She walked into the room, without permission wearing that infuriatingly innocent smile. At twenty-one, Clara had perfected the art of looking harmless while holding knives and bombs behind her back."You're not my

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO: sealed fateMia's POVThe rooftop garden reminded me of my mother. It was where I came anytime I needed to remember her.Collins was already there, smoking a cigarette. "You look pissed," he said, his eyes scanning me as I approached."How observant. " I collected the cigarette from him and took a long drag, even though I'd quit six months ago. "When were you going to tell me?""About the marriage?" He shrugged, his expression neutral as he collected his cigarette back. "I only found out last week.""And you didn't warn me because...?" I trailed off, my heart racing slightly anxious to hear his reply."Because warning you wouldn't have changed anything." He answered very casually with a tone that suggested that he wasn't interested in the conversation, not the warm tone he usually used when we were alone. "Your father made his decision, that's the end of it."I studied his face in the dim light, searching for the Collins I knew but the hardened expression on his face told me everything I needed t

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE: The bombMia's POVThe epoxy floors of the De Luca estate looked expensive enough to make you forget the amount of blood that paid for them. I stood in the hallway outside my father's study, counting the seconds until someone remembered I existed. I was at eight minutes, forty-three seconds already which was actually a new record. "Mia." My stepmother's voice cut through the silence, her voice was hoarse and filled with resentment for me for no particular reason. "Your father will see you now."I turned to face Elena De Luca, a woman who'd perfected the art of looking disappointed without having to move a single muscle. "How generous of him, I was starting to think he'd forgotten he had three daughters instead of two.""Don't be dramatic." She walked past me, her eyes rolling in spite, as her expensive perfume filled the air. "It's unbecoming."Right, because being forgotten is so becoming. I followed her into the study, where my father sat behind his desk like a Godfather that was ordered fr
