Vengeful Obsession
BLOOD, LIES & VOWS
Vincent Danio has always known his place in the Danio family.
A mistake.
A secret.
A son his father would rather hide than acknowledge.
After surviving a painful childhood and escaping the horrors that stole years of his life, Vincent returns to the only family he has left, hoping to find the protection he was denied.
Instead, he becomes a bargaining piece.
To settle his father's debts and secure an alliance, Vincent is forced into a marriage with Luciano Volkov, the ruthless head of one of the most powerful mafia syndicates in the city.
But Vincent refuses to become another victim.
For years, he has searched for answers about his mother's disappearance, following every clue that leads him closer to the Volkov name. Now, trapped inside the Volkov world as Luciano's husband, Vincent finally has the chance to uncover the truth.
If he can survive long enough.
Luciano Volkov is not a man anyone dares to challenge.
Cold, calculating, and feared by everyone around him, Luciano sees the marriage as nothing more than a transaction. Vincent is simply a debt payment from an enemy family.
Until Vincent walks into his life.
The frightened young man Luciano expected to control turns out to be stubborn, intelligent, and impossible to break.
Vincent hides secrets.
Luciano hides even more.
As their forced marriage becomes a dangerous battle of manipulation, attraction, and power, Vincent discovers that the truth he has been chasing may be closer than he ever imagined.
Because the Volkov family is built on secrets.
The Danio family is built on betrayal.
And the man Vincent swore to uncover may be the only person standing between him and the truth.
Their marriage was forced.
Their vows were a lie.
But the secrets they uncover could destroy them both.

Chapter: Chapter 7 The unwanted Warmth~Vincent~ I woke up to the sound of laughter. For a moment, I lay still, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, my mind still foggy from sleep. I had been dreaming again. The same kind of dream that had been haunting me for years. Darkness, Hands grabbing me and voices I could never forget. The feeling of being trapped with nowhere to run. I swallowed hard. “I thought changing my environment would at least ease the nightmares.” Apparently not. I groaned and pulled the blanket over my face. The laughter came again. Loud and Bubbling. Completely out of place in this gloomy mansion. Curiosity finally won. Who was making this graveyard of a mansion sound so cheerful? I got out of bed, quickly changed, and stepped out of my room. When I reached the bottom of the staircase, I stopped. The first thing I saw was the back of a woman with long golden hair. She was pointing a finger directly in Luciano's face as though she were scolding a child. Well, this was unexpected. The woman h

Chapter: Chapter 6 The Dangerous Game~Luciano~ Having a bath after a long day was something I enjoyed, aside from venting that stress somewhere else. The pool bath was one of my favorite parts of the house. It was large enough to stretch out comfortably, with warm water and a quiet view of the gardens outside. Usually, it was enough to clear my head. Tonight, it wasn't. My mind kept going back to Vincent. I smiled to myself. Did he somehow get possessed by the real owner of the chain and come to hunt me? The thought was too ridiculous to take seriously. Yet something about all this wasn't right. And I intended to find out what. I got out of the bath and stepped into my room, water dripping from my hair and wetting the tiles. I grabbed a shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants to wear for dinner before heading toward my study. Along the way, I pulled out my phone and called Carlos. “In my study.” I didn't wait for a response before cutting the call. My study had once belonged to my father, and trust me when I sa

Chapter: Chapter 5 The mystery Chain~Vincent~My fingers tightened around the brass chain.“The boy you killed?”Luciano didn't answer.He simply looked at me for a moment before turning toward the door.“Your room is in the east wing. The butler should be here any minute to lead you there.”I stared at him.That was it?“You're not going to explain what you meant?”He ignored the question.“Come down for dinner by seven.”My brows pulled together.“You're just going to walk away?”He stopped at the base of the stairs that led somewhere in this ridiculously big house and glanced back at me.“Yes.”I opened my mouth, then closed it.Unbelievable. I wanted nothing more than to strangle the bastard.Luciano glanced at me again just before disappearing.“Seven, Vincent.”Then he walked out.I stood there staring at nothing in particular.What the hell was that supposed to mean?The brass chain felt heavier around my wrist.The boy he'd killed seven years ago.What did that have to do with me?Arghh. I'd come here to invest

Chapter: Chapter 4 Caged~Luciano~“Just as expected. You're very pretty.”“Don't call me pretty.”“No?” A faint smile touched my mouth. “It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. It's my bed you'll be sleeping in tonight.”“Tch. You knew I was supposed to marry you, and you almost had one of your guard dogs shoot me.”“Oh?” My smile widened. “The little bird has quite a sharp beak.”This was just as amusing as I'd expected.The last time I'd seen him, he'd looked so frightened that I'd expected him to tuck his tail between his legs and run the moment he realized who I was.Yet here he was, standing before me with fear still dancing in those blue eyes and something else beneath it.Defiance, perhaps.The priest had already disappeared down the altar, and the guests were beginning to move toward the refreshments.The charade was over.I reached up, letting the white veil fall over Vincent's face again before taking his arm and leading him down from the altar.“H-hey…” He resisted slightly.“Unless you want t

Chapter: Chapter 3 The Mission~Vincent~The door creaked. I clutched the sink, my heart beating frantically.Did they find me?The door opened wider, and a familiar face appeared.Hugh.I nearly sagged with relief.“Hey, what's up? I thought I told you to stay put, not run around the hallway like you just came out of a horror film.” He chuckled.“I…”Maybe I shouldn't tell him. If that dangerous man was still looking for me, I'd only put Hugh in trouble.“Hehe… I was drunk, so I wanted to, uh… exercise.”Hugh raised an eyebrow.“You've been my best friend for years, Vince. You really think I'm going to believe that?”“I swear. You know I can't go back home drunk.”“Yeah, yeah. But that aside, Vince, let's talk about your wedding. You said you had something to tell me.”Phew.At least I'd gotten past that.“Don't think it's because I don't trust you or anything.” I fiddled with my nails, my head hanging low.Hugh's expression softened.“Then just tell me.”I swallowed.“You know I've been looking into my mother's d

Chapter: Chapter 2 The Interruption~Luciano~The air in the VIP suite was thick with the stench of five old men's sweat, expensive cigars, and fear.Dimitri, the syndicate's financial secretary, sat across the mahogany table, sweating through his suit.“Here are the documents, sir.”He slid the papers across the table with shaky hands.“The docks are secured, sir. Vangand Danio agreed to yield the northern shipping lanes in exchange for the truce.”The documents lay across the table. I leaned back in my leather chair, swirling my bourbon while my enforcers stood like statues behind me.“Vangand yields because he has no choice. His empire is bleeding, and he knows I'll put a bullet through his head the moment his line breaks.”“He's desperate,” Dimitri agreed quickly, dabbing at his temple with a handkerchief. “He knows the Volkov syndicate holds every supply line entering the bay. If he doesn't sign the contract, he loses everything by the end of the month.”“He lost everything the moment he thought he could bargain wi
