The King's Forbidden Love
She spent her life saving hearts, until the man who ruled an empire of violence shattered hers.
Jenna Blake should have been finishing her final year of cardiology, standing at the edge of a future she had built with discipline, sacrifice, and quiet determination. She was gentle, obedient, a healer with steady hands and a soft heart, someone meant for hospitals, not the shadows of the mafia.
Everything changed the day Evan Grant stepped into her life.
Forced into marriage with the man who commands fear and respect, Jenna loses her career, her dreams, and the life she fought to create. He is feared by all, yet the feared look up to him. Power comes naturally to him. Control is instinct. Compassion is optional.
On the day she became his bride, he offered no comfort, only a reminder of the fiery message she sent him during their disastrous first encounter. Yet he also placed a ring on her finger, a token meant only for her, a symbol that even in a world of violence, he claimed her in a way no one else could.
Her freedom vanished. Her life was rewritten. But when secrets surface and past betrayals collide, enemies are forced to confront the truth.
A dark mafia romance thriller with enemies-to-lovers tension and a second-chance love that could consume them both.

Chapter: Chapter 6 — Familiar Darkness sat on the edge of my bed, the room dim and unnervingly quiet. My hands rested on my knees, pressing lightly as if to steady myself. My eyes stayed fixed on the floor, but I wasn’t really seeing it.Every breath pulled the screech of tires and the crack of glass back into my mind, the memories tightening around my chest. My fingers twitched, recalling how hard I had gripped the seat just hours earlier.My luggage sat beside me, already placed there the moment I arrived home. I had exchanged a few words with my family, quick greetings, small talk, just enough to appear normal. Inside, I was anything but.I hadn’t wanted to burden them with the truth. They believed I had returned by cab, the story I had told before leaving. The reality had been far from ordinary.Evan had insisted I go with one of his guards. I had no choice. After what I had witnessed, and with the driver dead, arranging another way home at that hour had been impossible. The guard drove in silence, following his order

Chapter: Chapter 5 — Shadow In The LightI dug through my closet, tossing a few outfits onto the bed before settling on a simple blue top and white jeans. I slipped on my white sneakers, laced them snugly, and stuffed my phone and wallet into my handbag, making sure the keys were inside.Papers from the clinic lay stacked on the desk, brought over the day I got home. I grabbed them, flipping through quickly to make sure nothing remained unfinished.I ran a hand through my straight blonde hair, tying it back into a loose ponytail, then scanned the room. Everything looked in order. I double-checked the apartment keys in my bag.Ugh, finally done, Jenna. I let out a deep breath, shook my head, slung my bag over my shoulder, and turned to meet Alexa’s gaze.She stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her gray eyes, just like Dad’s, measuring me with sharp concern. I tilted my head and offered a soft smile.“Alexa, I’ll be back soon, sweetheart. I need to go now,” I said, keeping my voice even and careful.She stepped closer, her eye

Chapter: Chapter 4 — The Pact UnspokenI stepped out of the bathroom, the faint chill of water still clinging to my skin after washing my face and brushing my teeth, the bare minimum of my morning routine. I dried my face with the towel when my phone started ringing again. Frowning, I reached for the nightstand, seeing Ava’s name flash across the screen.My chest tightened as I picked up the phone and answered. “Hello?”“Jenna,” Ava said immediately, concern sharp in her voice. “Where are you? Why didn’t you come in today?”I sat on the edge of the bed, gripping the phone a little tighter. “I wasn’t feeling well,” I said carefully. “I ended up sleeping longer than I meant to and forgot to inform anyone.”There was a brief pause. “Dr. Patel asked me about you,” she said. “He noticed you weren’t there.You should’ve at least texted,” she said, her tone softening. “You never just disappear like that.”“I’m sorry,” I replied quietly. “I really wasn’t doing well today.”"It's okay, Can you at least manage to send me the patient

Chapter: Chapter 3 — When the Walls Closed InMy feet barely brushed the floor as Dad guided me into the room, his grip tight on my arm, keeping me close so no maid or staff could hear him as he explained everything. The door clicked shut behind him, and the walls seemed to lean in, pressing me from all sides. He hadn’t slammed it. That quiet finality hurt more than anger ever could.My hands shook as I pressed them into the mattress, knuckles whitening. The sheets were cool beneath my fingers, neat, ordinary, everything unchanged. Yet nothing felt ordinary anymore. It was as if the world itself had narrowed, leaving only his words and me. I gripped the sheets so hard my fingers ached, trying to anchor myself to something real as his voice cut through my mind.“Jenna, you need to hear me. You have to understand this. He wants to marry you. He’s already made his decision.”I couldn’t escape it. Tears traced warm lines down my cheeks, and I kept sniffing, trying to silence them.“If you refuse, everything I’ve built, my business,

Chapter: Chapter 2 — The Price of Being SavedI opened the door and stepped into the TV lounge. The warmth hit me like a wall after the biting cold outside, mingling with the hum of the heaters.Everyone’s heads turned at the sound of my footsteps. Faces lifted in smiles, quickly fading as they took in the state I was in. Dad’s eyes narrowed, scanning me sharply.Mom’s lips parted, a faint tremor in her expression, as if she could sense the storm inside me. Alexa froze mid-gesture, fingers hovering over the armrest, eyes wide and alert. Even the house staff exchanged nervous glances, quick and uneasy.The usual chatter vanished. Every gaze latched onto me, questions unspoken but loud in their eyes. I swayed slightly, struggling to keep my balance as my legs wavered. Words tangled somewhere behind my teeth.Dad moved toward me, quickening his pace. “Jenna… you came.” I took hesitant steps into his arms. He pulled me close, pressing warmth and reassurance against my frail frame.“I’ve been waiting for you,” he murmured, placing a

Chapter: Chapter 1 — Between Guns and GlancesChapter 1 — Between Guns and GlancesJenna's POVThe sharp wind rattled leaves across the empty parking lot as I stepped out, shutting off the clinic lights after a long, hectic day. I adjusted my purse strap, clutching my keys, and moved quickly toward the car, eyes sweeping the deserted space.A sudden buzz from my phone made me flinch. I unzipped my purse and glanced at the screen. Dad’s name glinted back, not his usual time. I frowned, wondering why he was calling now. He called every night at ten to check on me. This felt different.I answered and slid into the driver’s seat, tossing my bag onto the dash before starting the engine, when his voice came through. “Jenna, don’t go back to your apartment tonight. Come home.” The tone carried an edge, a hidden tension beneath the words. I gripped the steering wheel. “Dad… is everything okay?”“I just can’t explain over the phone. Just come home tonight,” he said. The weight of his words pressed down on me.“What’s going on, Dad? You’r
