SOLD TO THE DEVIL KING
Sold to the Devil King
I was supposed to become a bride.
Instead, I watched my family die.
On the night of my engagement, my father's most trusted ally and the man I was about to marry betrayed us. They slaughtered my family, stole our empire, drugged me, and sold me like I was nothing more than merchandise.
They thought they had erased the last Moretti.
They were wrong.
At the underground auction, I was bought by the one man every criminal fears... Dante De Luca, the Devil King. The most ruthless mafia lord in Europe. A man whose name is whispered with terror.
He didn't make me his mistress.
He made me his maid.
Now I serve the man everyone calls a monster while secretly searching for the truth behind my family's massacre. Every clue I uncover leads to another lie. Every ally hides a secret. Every step toward revenge brings me closer to a conspiracy far bigger than I ever imagined.
The last thing I expected was the Devil himself becoming the only person standing between me and death.
But in a world where loyalty is bought with blood and love is the deadliest weakness of all, trusting him may cost me everything... including my revenge.
Because if the Devil discovers who I really am, will he help me reclaim my stolen crown...
...or will he be the one to deliver me to the enemies who have been waiting to finish what they started?

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: A BULLET FOR THE DEVIL"Boss! Sniper!"The shout tore through the quiet morning before I even understood what it meant. One second we were crossing the courtyard toward the training yard, Dante a few steps ahead discussing something with Luca, and the next, the entire world had shifted into motion. Guards materialized from doorways I hadn't noticed, weapons drawn. Marco's eyes swept the rooftops in sharp, practiced arcs. Luca stepped in front of Dante, angling his body like a shield.The shot hadn't come yet. Somewhere above us, a sniper was waiting for the perfect angle, and nobody could tell where.I saw it before anyone else did. A flicker of sunlight, brief and precise, glinting off glass three rooftops over.A scope.My whole body went cold with recognition. I knew exactly what that flash meant, had grown up around enough of my father's men to understand the geometry of danger. My eyes tracked the angle down from the rooftop, through the courtyard, and landed directly on Dante's chest.Why should I sav

Chapter: CHAPTER 4: THE DEVIL'S RULES"Rule Number One," Dante said, stepping out of the car without so much as a glance back at me. "Never enter my office without permission."He didn't raise his voice. He didn't wait to see if I understood. He simply stated it, the way a man might state the time or the weather, already certain the words would be obeyed.I climbed out after him and looked up.Iron gates towered on either side of the drive, taller than any fence had a right to be. Guards stood at intervals along the walls, weapons visible, eyes tracking everything that moved. Beyond them, the estate itself sprawled into the darkness, stone and glass and lit windows stretching farther than I could see in one glance.This wasn't a mansion. It was a fortress.We walked through the entrance and into a hall lined with marble so pale it seemed to glow under the chandeliers. Paintings hung along the walls, the kind of art that belonged in museums, not private hallways. I noticed the guards first, stationed at every corner, stil

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: BOUGHT BY THE DEVIL"Look at me."The voice was calm. Not loud. Not threatening. It carried the kind of authority that had never needed volume to be obeyed.I raised my eyes anyway, because some stubborn part of me refused to let him see me flinch.He stood a few feet from the stage now, close enough that I could see the polish on his shoes reflecting the overhead lights, close enough to feel the silence that followed him like a second shadow. His suit was black, tailored to a body that carried itself like it had never once been told no. His face gave away nothing at all. No cruelty. No amusement. No hunger. Just a stillness so complete it made every other man in that room look restless by comparison.He didn't look like a man who needed to prove he was powerful. Everyone else already knew.He walked a slow circle around me, hands loose at his sides, and I made myself hold still under the weight of his attention. His gaze moved over the bruises ringing my wrists, the dried blood staining my sleeve, the

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO: THE AUCTION"Lot Number Thirteen. The last surviving daughter of the Moretti family."The voice came from somewhere far away, muffled through metal and static. I didn't understand it yet. I only knew that the ground beneath me was moving, that chains rattled somewhere near my ankles, and that my skull throbbed like it had been split open and stitched back together wrong.I forced my eyes open.Dim emergency lighting cast everything in sick amber. The walls around me were corrugated steel, the floor cold beneath my bare legs, and the truck rocked hard over what felt like unpaved road, throwing me against something soft and warm that flinched away from me with a whimper.I sat up too fast. The world spun, then settled.My dress was still there, or what remained of it. White silk turned rust-brown, torn at the hem, the veil gone entirely. My wrists were ringed with bruises where hands had gripped too hard. I remembered fragments, disjointed and sharp as broken glass. My father's shoulder blooming re

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE: BLOOD ON MY WEDDING DRESS"Kill everyone... but bring the bride to me alive."I thought I had imagined those words. Then the first gunshot shattered the music.Fifteen minutes earlier, I was laughing."Hold still," my father said, straightening the sapphire pendant at my throat. "No daughter of mine walks into an engagement looking nervous.""I'm not nervous, Papa.""Your hands say otherwise." He caught my fingers before I could smooth my skirt for the third time. His grip was warm, steady, the same hands that had taught me to hold a knife the right way and pour wine without spilling a drop. "Breathe, Alessia. Tonight the whole city watches you become a Conti."Behind him, the ballroom of our estate glittered like something out of a dream. Chandeliers threw gold across the marble floor. Servants wove between the tables with trays of champagne, adjusting white orchids that matched my dress. My cousin Bianca shrieked with laughter somewhere near the string quartet, chasing her little brother around a fountain of
