SOLD TO THE DEVIL KING

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 50: THE DEVIL'S WAR
"Open the gate, or I'll come through it myself."The voice crackled through the mansion's external speakers, and I moved to the window before I'd fully processed what I was seeing.Vehicles ringed the estate in careful formation, men moving with disciplined precision rather than the chaos of a hasty assault. No wild shooting, no panic. Someone had planned this with the same methodical care Dante's own people brought to everything.Then I saw it. A flag raised near the front line of vehicles, the Moretti wolf crest unmistakable even at a distance.My family had been dead for years. The organization was supposed to be a memory. Yet dozens of armed men stood outside Dante's home carrying my family's symbol like a banner."Who are they?" I asked Marco.He hesitated before answering. "Moretti loyalists.""That's impossible.""Apparently not."I studied the gates further, understanding slowly settling over me. They weren't firing at the mansion. Th

Chapter: CHAPTER 49: THE HEIR COMES OUT OF HIDING
"Kneel, Alessia."Smoke still hung thick in the air, gunfire echoing somewhere down the corridor behind us. I didn't understand the words yet, didn't know who'd spoken them, only that the council chamber had become a battlefield of shattered glass and overturned chairs, wounded men dragging themselves toward whatever cover remained.Dante's hand closed around my arm. "We're leaving.""They're still inside.""That's not your problem.""They're your men."I pulled free before he could argue further. Across the ruined chamber, one of Dante's guards lay pinned against a fallen table, an attacker closing in with a raised weapon. My hand found my father's gun at my hip, and for one terrible second, I froze completely, the massacre crashing back over me in a single suffocating wave.Then I fired.The attacker staggered, giving Dante's men just enough time to finish what I'd started. The guard I'd saved looked up at me, disbelief written across his bloodied face."You saved me.""You were in

Chapter: CHAPTER 48: THE WOMAN BESIDE THE DEVIL
"Dante, either announce our engagement tonight or lose the alliance."Isabella's voice carried clear across the council chamber, and I recognized it instantly. Dante didn't react, which somehow made the threat land harder than if he'd flinched.The room itself pressed down with a weight I hadn't felt since my first private dinner in his house. Armed guards stood at every entrance. Representatives from a dozen families whispered behind cupped hands, their eyes tracking Dante's every movement. Isabella positioned herself deliberately at his side, close enough that anyone watching would draw the obvious conclusion."Our families have already discussed the terms," she continued smoothly. "The marriage will unite the De Luca and—""You seem to be discussing my marriage," Dante interrupted, "as though I wasn't invited."A senior council member cleared his throat. "Isabella's family controls the southern shipping routes, several ports,

Chapter: CHAPTER 47: THE SECRET MY FATHER BURIED
"Your father left this for you."I looked up as Marco set an ordinary-looking box on the table, unremarkable except for the handwriting scrawled across its lid.I recognized it instantly.My hand hovered over the box, hesitant. I'd already discovered too many things I wished I hadn't since finding that first photograph. But I opened it anyway, and found documents inside, along with a symbol I'd seen before, painted across an ally's building, hidden inside my father's letter.The three-part black crown.Beneath it sat a date. The night before the massacre.My father hadn't been preparing for betrayal after it happened. He had been preparing for it before.I looked at Dante. "What did my father know?"He didn't answer."We don't know who planted this," Dante said finally, studying the documents with a frown."My father did.""You don't know that.""Then who else?" I demanded."Some

Chapter: CHAPTER 46: THE BROTHER WHO FOUND ME
"Get away from the window, Alessia!"Dante was already moving before I'd fully registered his voice. His arms closed around me, hauling me down as the window exploded behind us.CRACK.Glass rained across the floor. My ears rang, the world reduced to shattered fragments and Dante's weight partially covering me. Somewhere beyond the chaos, security shouted, weapons drawn."Sniper!""Secure the perimeter!"Dante pulled back just enough to look at me. "Are you hurt?"His hand was still around my waist. "I'm fine."He didn't let go immediately. "Stay behind me."I pushed myself upright instead. "I'm not hiding behind you."Marco and the guards swept the property, but there was no second shot, no movement, no fleeing vehicle. The silence afterward felt wrong, deliberate.Marco returned with something small clasped in his palm, a bullet he'd extracted carefully from the window frame. Unlike anything

Chapter: CHAPTER 45: THE BROTHER WHO CAME BACK FOR ME
"Adrian knows you're alive."Marco's words landed hard in the quiet of Dante's war room, the token from the ruins still resting on the table between us."Adrian," I repeated, the name tasting like ash.My anger surged immediate and visceral. This wasn't merely another suspect in a growing conspiracy. This was the man who'd smiled at me with teeth bared in the smoke of my own wedding, who'd told me love was never part of the deal, who'd watched my father die and done nothing."The token isn't just associated with him," Marco said. "It belongs to a private communication network he's been using. I've traced coded messages back to it.""He's alive.""He's been operating underground for years. And he's been searching for someone.""Me?" I asked.Marco hesitated."Yes."Marco pulled up several intercepted messages, choosing them carefully.The girl is alive.Don't approach her yet.Find out who has her."If he's looking for me," I said, "why hasn't he come?""Because whoever he's working wi
