His Reluctant Bride

His Reluctant Bride

When I stumbled into a Mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Damian was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Ronan, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition to marry him or lose my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him, because that would be stupid, right?

Chapter: The Rescue
Damian POVMy heart is pounding so violently it feels unnatural, like something is clawing its way out of my chest. Every breath burns and every thought crashes into the next until I can barely separate rage from fear.“You get anything else out of those guys?” I ask, my voice tight, barely controlled.Ash shakes his head beside me, eyes still sharp despite the chaos of the night. “Nothing. I pushed them as far as they could go but they weren’t talking.”I grip the wheel harder and turn onto Highland, slowing the car as my eyes scan every inch of the street. Darkness clings to everything out here. We are hunting for a green door.“Look at those idiots,” Ash mutters, nodding toward the road ahead. “What do you think they’re doing?”“I don’t know,” I reply, but something about it already feels wrong.This is deep in their territory and tonight, they are everywhere but up ahead, something is different.Three men stand at the mouth of an alley, tense and alert like they know something is

Chapter: Gunshot
Damian POV“Heya, dude,” Max voice rolls through the phone, low and rough, like he’s already halfway into trouble. “Where are you?”I tighten my grip on the steering wheel, eyes scanning the quiet street ahead. “Just down the block from the cab office. Why?”There’s a pause on the other end, then a short exhale. “Don’t bother.”My brows pull together. “What do you mean don’t bother?”“The gobshite just showed up here.”For a second, I don’t process it then it hits, my house.“At my house?” My voice drops, dangerous and sharp.“That would be the one.”A cold, vicious smile spreads across my face, but there’s no humor in it. “Unbelievable.”I slam my foot on the brake, yank the wheel, and spin the car around in a hard turn that makes the tires screech against the asphalt anyone watching would think I’ve lost my mind but maybe I have.“I’m on my way,” I say, already pushing the car to its limit.The drive feels too long and too short at the same time. Every red light is a personal insult

Chapter: Espace but Caught
Damian POV“They’re still not talking,” Ash mutters, his voice rough with complete frustration.“Then we don’t stop until they do,” I snap back, because my patience long gone.Ash drags a hand down his face and exhales sharply. We’re both drenched in blood with both ours and theirs but it doesn’t even matter anymore.The two guys strapped to the chairs in this room are barely holding on to life and anyone with sense would know they won’t last much longer and I know that too.We’ve taken everything from them including there ears, fingers, toes, anything they didn’t need to breathe. Still, the only thing they’ve given us is total silence and the occasional “go to hell.”I have never felt this desperate before in my entire life. Ash finally drops the blade on the metal tray with a loud clang.“I think we got the wrong members because if they knew where she was, they would’ve talked by now. I have seen tougher men break for less than this.”I start pacing, my boots echoing against the co

Chapter: The Kidnap
Liana POV‌“Y⁠o‌u need to unde‌rsta‌nd wha‌t this mean‍s, it’s a death sentence.”I can see the word⁠s bounce off him, ignored, as Tommy continues methodically looping the stiff, coarse rope around my wrists, securing me to a lawn chair.

It was subtle, the way lau⁠gh‍ter softened, the wa‍y fo⁠rks slowed and the way bo‌dies angled just slightly inward, as if a⁠n invisible‌ curren‌t had shifted dire‌ctio⁠n.
