Vows of Ruin: Til vengeance do us part
She married him for revenge.
They say grief makes you fragile. They're wrong.
Six months ago, Carmela Ferrara’s sister Elena died under the protection of the one man that was supposed to keep her safe—Don Gabriele Conti. Her husband.
Now Carmela has one goal: revenge.
But nothing in the mafia is ever as simple as it seems. Gabriele is dangerous, damaged, and hiding deadly secrets about the night Elena died. And the closer Carmela gets to destroying him, the more she realizes her sister's death wasn't what everyone believes.
In a world built on blood and betrayal, where every vow is a weapon and trust is fatal, Carmela must choose: continue her revenge or uncover the truth.
Because the real killer is closer than she thinks. And in the mafia, that mistake could cost her everything.
Some vows are made to be kept. Others are made to ruin.
'Til vengeance do us part.
An enemies-to-lovers, dark, morally gray romance novel built on revenge, betrayal, self-destruction and revenge.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOCARMELA'S POVI woke up to the sound of voices outside my door.This was not the usual guard chatter. This was different. I sat up, listening."—Don't care what your orders are. I'm family. Open the fucking door."Marco.I glanced at the closet where Elena's evidence was hidden, then at the clock.8:47 AM.I'd gotten maybe three hours of sleep after the ledge crossing. My body still ached from the climb, my fingers scraped raw from gripping the stone.But my mind was sharp. Clear.And now Marco was at my door.Interesting timing.The door opened. Marco stepped inside, dismissing the guards with a wave."Mrs. Conti. Good morning."I stayed in bed, pulling the sheet up slightly. Let him feel awkward about barging in while I was still in my nightclothes."Marco." My voice was flat. "To what do I owe the pleasure?""I wanted to check on you." He closed the door behind him. "See how you're... adjusting to your new accommodations.""How thoughtful." I didn't move. Didn't invite him further

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY-ONECARMELA'S POVFour days of staring at the same four walls. Four days of guards outside my door. Four days of being escorted to the bathroom like a fucking criminal.I sat on the edge of the bed, my knee bouncing restlessly.Gabriele thought he'd won. Thought locking me up would stop me from destroying him.The arrogant bastard had just made a critical mistake.He'd given me time. And nothing to do but think.And what I'd been thinking about was Elena.Her investigation into Marco. The notes Gabriele had mentioned in his own files. The evidence she must have gathered before she died.Evidence that had to be somewhere in this house.I'd searched before—briefly, cautiously, always aware that someone might notice.But now I had guards watching my every move. I couldn't just wander the house looking for hidden journals.I needed to be smarter.I needed to escape this room without them knowing.I studied the guards' patterns for three days.They rotated every six hours. Two men at a time, s

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTYGABRIELE'S POV I didn't sleep.I couldn't fucking sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. That cold smile when she'd admitted to destroying my shipment. The defiance in her eyes when she'd dared me to do something about it.What are you going to do?I sat in my study, watching the sun rise through the window, a glass of whiskey in my hand that I hadn't touched.What was I going to do?I couldn't kill her. Couldn't torture her. Couldn't do any of the things I'd normally do to someone who betrayed me.But I could control her.It wasn't revenge. It was damage control.At least that's what I told myself.I pulled out my phone and called Angelo.He answered on the second ring. "Don.""I need new security protocols implemented immediately. For Carmela."A pause. "What kind of protocols?""Full surveillance. Guards outside her door at all times. She doesn't leave her room without an escort. No phone, no computer, no unsupervised contact with anyone—staff included."Another pause

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-NINECARMELA'S POVI stood under the scalding water in the bathroom and tried not to shake.He made me come. Not once. Twice.With my wrists bound.I looked down at the red marks circling my wrists. Evidence of what we'd done. What I'd let him do.No. What I'd wanted him to do.That was the worst part.I'd wanted it. Even while hating him. Even while promising to destroy him.My body had betrayed me again.I scrubbed at my skin, trying to wash away his touch, his smell, his cum that was still leaking out of me.But no matter how hard I scrubbed, I could still feel him.Inside me. On me. Around me.I pressed my forehead against the tile and let the water beat down on my back.What was wrong with me?He'd raped me two weeks ago. Called me Elena's name. Violated me in the worst possible way.And tonight, I'd let him tie me up and fuck me again.Let him? I'd practically begged for it.The thought made me want to vomit.But underneath the disgust was something else. Something darker.Satisfact

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTCARMELA'S POV His hand wrapped around my throat. Not squeezing. Just holding. And I hated that my pulse kicked up for reasons that had nothing to do with fear. "You want to play games? Destroy my business? Work with my enemies? Fine. But there are consequences for that." My body was already responding. Warmth pooling low in my belly. The space between my legs getting wet. Stop it. Stop reacting to him. But my body didn't listen. It never fucking listened when it came to him. He kissed me. I bit his lip and drew blood. But when he pulled back and looked at me with those dark, dangerous eyes, something in my stomach flipped. "You're pathetic," I gasped. "A broken man pretending to be powerful." "And yet you're the one pressed against the wall." He kissed me again, and I hated how my mouth opened for him. Hated how my tongue met his.This doesn't mean anything. This is just physical. It doesn't change the plan. "This doesn't change anything," I said when he released my mout

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENGABRIELE'S POV "Tell me to stop," I said quietly. "Say the word, and I'll walk away right now.”She opened her mouth and closed it.The silence stretched between us."Can't do it, can you?" I unbuttoned her pants, sliding the zipper down slowly. "Because as much as you want me dead, you want this more.""You're delusional—""Am I?"I slid my hand inside her pants, inside her underwear, finding her already wet."Your cunt tells a different story," I murmured, circling her clit with my thumb. "It's practically weeping for me."She whimpered. "What was that about me being pathetic?" I asked, pushing two fingers inside her."Go to hell," she gasped."Already there, cara. And I'm taking you with me." I pumped my fingers slowly, feeling her clench around me. "I'm going to make you scream my name. And you're going to remember who you belong to.""I belong to no one—"I curled my fingers, finding that spot inside her that made her cry out."Lie to yourself if you want." I worked her pussy r
