Married Off To The Merciless Mafia King
“Dad What do you mean, you sold me to the Russian mob?”
Ana never thought her father capable of betrayal, but the truth hits harder than she ever imagined. Sold to New York’s most feared Bratva boss, Dmitri Orlov, Ana’s life turns into a waking nightmare.
Dmitri is a man whispered about in dark alleys—a ruthless crime lord with a reputation carved in blood. With his sharp suits, chilling smile, and a voice that can command armies, he’s the very definition of danger. And now, he owns Ana.
Their arrangement is simple: she’s the price her father paid, and Dmitri has no intention of letting her forget it. Cold and calculating, he’s determined to use Ana to exact his revenge. But there’s a darker, more complicated truth behind Dmitri’s anger. The beast with a soul as black as midnight has a weakness—and it’s her.
Every heated touch, every possessive growl, chips away at Ana’s defenses. Despite her fear, she starts to see glimpses of the man behind the monster, the one who wants to claim her not just in body, but in soul. But falling for Dmitri was never part of the plan, especially when she discovers she’s carrying his child.
Now Ana’s running for her life, caught between her father’s betrayal and Dmitri’s wrath. But there’s one thing she can’t escape—the fact that no matter how far she goes, she belongs to him. And Dmitri will stop at nothing to bring his wife—and his heir—home.
Because in their world, “till death do us part” isn’t just a vow—it’s a warning.

Chapter: Book 5: Epilogue 2I was grateful.Andrei’s face creased with worry. “Are you okay?”I drifted back to the presence and nodded. “I just thought of Dad. I mean, isn’t it funny how I was able to meet you because of the shipment he hid?”“Tell me about it. You think Peter had this all mapped out before he died?” Andrei asked with a playful grin. “That he wanted me to meet you?”I shrugged. “He was a genius. It’s not completely out of the box. He worked with you, so he must’ve known how great of a person you are.”Andrei chuckled. “Your father watched me murder men in cold blood a few times. There is no way he would have wanted a man like me for his daughter.”I looked him straight in the eyes and corrected him. “Every father wants a man who would love and protect their daughter. You’re all of those things, and I’m sure he would have approved.”Even if Mom hadn’t been a fan of it at first, she’d adjusted pretty well.Andrei took my hands and kissed the back of my palm. “And I promise to always love and prot

Chapter: Book 5: Epilogue 1GiselleSeven Months Later“It’s your birthday in less than an hour,” Mom said over the phone.For the first time since Dad died, she sounded happier, as if she’d finally gotten to that final stage of grief.Acceptance.The stage where even though the pain was still there, it just became easier to live with.I believed I’d also gotten to that stage.There were days when I missed Dad so much and wished he was still here, but those days were fleeting, and I found myself cherishing the memories we had when he was here.I’d shifted my focus to finding my own path in life and living in the moment. Andrei was the moment; because of him, I could live happily and smile freely again, something I never thought I would experience after Dad died.I stared blankly at the wall above me and sighed. “Yes, Mom. It’s my twenty-third birthday in an hour, and the only company I have is an empty house.”It was the first time I’d ever been home alone for a while now. Andrei made it a duty to always come ho

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 57“I think we need to celebrate.” She leaned in and whispered. “Let’s sneak away from here.”I took her hand in mine. “Come with me.”She squinted. “Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”I led her to the rooftop of the building, closing the door behind us to avoid any interruptions and burying the noise of the chaos below.The rooftop was quiet, and the city stretched out before us, a glittering expanse of lights and movement. The night breeze was cool, carrying with it the distant sounds of cars racing down the street.Giselle stood beside me, her hands covered in mine as she admired the full moon and the bed of stars in the sky.Our fingers grazed, and it felt like the entire world had been set ablaze, the heat licking through my veins and the air cracking with a jolt of tension.The weird feeling in my chest intensified, and my pulse raced. It was a reminder of what she meant to me—what I’d just discovered she meant to me.I watched her, something in my chest fluttering as I admired how

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 56AndreiThe air was thick with the aroma of burning cigars, the low murmur of laughter and conversation blending with the shuffle of cards and the clinking of crystal glasses.My fingers drummed idly against the felt-covered table, my gaze sweeping across my opponents.They were all seasoned members of the Bratva with hands that were scarred from bloodshed and dark eyes that threatened death.Antonio Morozov and Victor Volkov.We were all cut from the same cloak—all three of us—bred with cruelty, brutality, and bloodshed. Different in many ways yet similar in more than one.And at this table, every card we tossed was a matter of our pride. The joy that came with victory surpassed winning a war with a rival family.I’d always been a good player, only lost a game a couple of times. My skills were unbeatable, and everyone here knew it.But it was different tonight. Giselle’s presence made it different.She sat on the edge of a leather chair across the room, her back straight and hands fol

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 55I wrapped my arms around his neck, reveling in the heat seeping from his body and into mine as he carried me to our room.His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his body pressing against mine and enveloping me with warmth.We barely made it past the bedroom door when I shifted from the position in one fluid motion, wrapping my legs around his hips and tracing his lips with mine.His arm snaked around me, and one of his hands slid under my swimsuit, finding my bare breast and cupping it.I raked my fingers through his hair and kissed him. It was a hot, searing, primal kiss that evoked something deeper than lust from both of us. It was need, mixed with deep yearning.He deepened the kiss, dragging his thumb across my nipple and twisting it lightly.I moaned into his mouth, bucking when I felt his erection poke against my sex, and ground against him, desperate to ease the throbbing between my thighs.He slid a hand through my thong and cupped my sex, and then, fisting the thong, he ripp

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 54I swam toward him, resting my elbow on the edge just by his feet and tilting my head to look at him. “It’s called a two-piece swimsuit.”“Ah, I see.” He whipped his head around and glared at his guards, a silent signal for them to look away.I laughed. He hadn’t just grown more protective; he’d become even more possessive and jealous as well. It was cute to see. “You know they’ve been watching me swim every day for weeks now, right?”“Well, they’re not allowed to watch you swim anymore. No man is allowed to watch you swim beside me.”I huffed. He’d just saved me from having to discuss the bodyguard situation. “How was work today, husband?”“I had a couple of meetings with thePakhanand a couple of members of the Bratva. All I could think of while I was there was coming back home to you.” He placed a finger beneath my chin and leaned in. “I missed you.”“Me, too.” I squinted and grinned. “I think I missed you more.”He pretended to think for a moment. “I doubt it.”Something about the w

But there won’t be anyone to convince, and likely nothing will happen.We say goodbye to my mom and head over to my place.And I’m nervous. It’s not a big deal. I’ve hung out with Jenni plenty of times. There’s nothing to be worried about. But there was something real between us this morning, and I didn’t imagine that. And with the upheaval of the night and seeing how wronged I was by Amanda, I need Jenni’s support.It’s hard to know how she really feels about all of this.When we get to my place and climb out of our cars, Jenni says, “Was that a crazy night or what?”“Crazy is an understatement. I think this calls for a bottle of wine. Something special.” I fetch the bottle of Chateau Cos d’Estournel that I’ve been saving for a special occasion.She sees the bottle in my hands when I come back with it. “Oh, wow. You weren’t kidding when you said it was something special.”“Gettin

The emotions of Hayden coming into my life, and having Jenni being so supportive by my side are intertwining, and I’m working to stuff all these feelings down so they don’t overwhelm me.“I think you might want to take it slow. But I’ll go with you. I’ve had the chance to build a bit of a relationship with him in the few moments I’ve spent with him.” She stands, and I follow.To say I’m nervous about talking with him is a massive understatement. But he’s my boy, something I can barely wrap my head around. I still can’t deny the fact that he loo

I’m just the fake girlfriend in this scenario. As much as I want to be a bigger part of Hayden’s life, that’s the truth of the matter.“Amanda wants to start fifty-fifty custody,” Langston says.“I have cancer, and it’s become too much for me to care for Hayden on my own. We’ll start with fifty-fifty, but on my bad days, I might need you to take him more. I just know I can’t be the mom that he needs.””“Do you have family who could help you through this?” I ask.Amanda shakes her head. “They’ve all either stopped talking to me, or they’ve passed on. I have no one left. That’s why I need your help.”From what I remember, Amanda’s family was a lot of drama. Something about he

He’s my dad.”I open my mouth to speak, but then I just shut it again.“You can call him whatever name you’d like,” Laurie says.“Anything?” Hayden gets a silly grin on his face. “Even Mr. Stinky Pants?”I can’t help but laugh. “If you really want to.”“He’s not nearly as stinky now as he used to be,” Laurie says. “He earned the name Mr. Stinky Pants when he was a baby. You don’t even want to know what he smelled like back then.” She pinches her nose and waves a hand in front of her face like she’s blowing the stench away.That gets a bubble of laughter from Hayden. “My mom’s friend has a baby. He sure smells bad too.”“I’m afra

She has dark bags under her eyes, and they’re sunken into her face with her cheekbones sticking out. Her hair is different too. It’s short, choppy, and thin. Far from the luscious long hair she had when I last saw her. Has she been starving herself or something?But the kid with her is the picture of health. He has thick dark hair and eyes that are roaming across the room like he’s never seen a place like this before.

Revenge On My Ex, Accidentally In Bed With A Billionaire

Falling into bed with a billionaire to get revenge… and ending up pregnant.
*****
Daphne thought the worst part of her week was walking in on her boyfriend tangled up with someone else.
she was wrong.
The real humiliation? Facing them both the very next day at her art exhibition—with the other woman on his arm.
As if curating the biggest show of her career wasn’t stressful enough, now she’s stuck smiling through the pain while her ex flaunts betrayal in front of billionaires and buyers who could make or break her future.
But when her ex gets a little too smug, and the crowd watches a little too closely, Daphne makes a snap decision.
She grabs the nearest man.
Kisses him like she means it.
And pretends she didn’t just burn every bridge behind her.
Only… the man she uses to deliver her revenge?
He’s pasha. Reclusive billionaire. Art-world kingmaker. And the man about to drop five million dollars at the auction.
One night with him was supposed to be reckless and forgettable.
It turns out to be unforgettable—for all the wrong reasons.
Because weeks later, Daphne’s world tilts again.
She’s pregnant. And the baby’s father is a man who’s never let anyone close… and isn’t used to losing control.
Now she’s caught in a dangerous game of secrets, desire, and consequences—where love was never part of the plan, but fate has other ideas.
And the closer Pasha gets, the harder it becomes to remember who used who first.
He gave her one night. She gave him an heir.
But what happens when the fallout costs more than they’re both willing to pay?

Chapter: chapter 90Instead, I am lovingly ordered to stay off my feet, then smothered in equally loving hugs and kisses to my face.“I like you already,” remarks a man with a thick handlebar mustache whom Asya introduces as her cousin. To Asya, he says, “Clearly, she is a clever woman! Smart and witty! Who else could get that son of yours to settle down?”“It’s true,” chimes in another cousin, an older woman busy untying her silk scarf from around her head. “We were all convinced our Pasha would never meet someone who could handle his, how you say…”“Stubborn ass?” Sofi offers.The family descends into a cacophony of conversation as they settle into their seats, handing Asya beautifully wrapped gifts and thick cards. I feel somewhat embarrassed at how small mine is compared to everyone else’s. Maybe no one will notice.After a few more minutes of listening to the family shift between English and Russian with ease, I feel a familiar presence slip in behind me and take the adjacent seat.“You look beautif

I’d rather bend you over the table right here and have you for breakfast.”I swat at his wandering hands. One of us has to be responsible, and it looks like that’s me today. “You already ate. Twice.” I bite back a moan when he nibbles the sweet spot near my shoulder. “And there’s no bending me over anything. I’m the size of a beached whale.”“Won’t stop me from trying.”“You’re terrible!” I exclaim with a laugh. “Now, go. Shoo! I need to get everything ready for your mother’s birthday.”Pasha sighs. “Fine. I’ll be at the office if you need me.”I hand him his phone and check his wrist for the watch that he doesn’t always remember to put on. The longer we live together, the more I’m picking up on tiny little quirks I don’t think he’s even aware of.When I met him, I thought he was a god. An angel, at the very least.I still do. Now, I jus

No matter what I do, my mind keeps wandering back to Daphne’s blowup in the car.Do you respect your employees?I know what she was really asking. Do I walk my talk? Do I hold my people accountable? Am I the man I claim to be?I wanted to say yes, just to have the higher ground. So I could proudly be better—far better—than her dickhead employers.But it’s been bugging me ever since she brought it up.That’s why I’m on page seventy-two of this handbook and silently cursing whoever decided we needed a fucking Bible instead of a few simple pages.I’m still irritated that Daphne has no problem standing up to me, but can’t do the same to those idiots she calls her bosses. She doesn’t hesitate to tell me exactly where I can stick my overbearing habits—but them? The second they seem even mildly displeased, she bows under their pressure and slinks off to the corner.I was so fucking pissed.

But now that it’s out, I can’t feel a reason to stop.“That may not have been an ideal job, but it was the first and only one that I chose for myself. That I won for myself, on my own terms and my own credit.” I sigh. “And then you had to barge in and take it all away. Just like how you took my home away from me.
