Chapter: CHAPTER 55Lyra(Mia’s)POV I could watch his eyes bore into me as I walked off. It was not his intention to agree, that was for sure. But I was holding him by his words. His acceptance was all I needed. My plan could finally be put into motion. There was a way to make sure Nyla and Xander pay for what they did to me. I ignored everyone on the way. A few people were hailing me for my courage in protecting their Alpha, and a few more were supporting me for playing a hand in fighting off the Konesye. What a bunch of dimwits! It surely didn’t take them long to buy the bullshit story I had fed them. I didn’t let the praises get in my head. I was on a mission, one that needed me to leave. I turned one last time as I was about to walk out when I spotted the Alpha leaning against the door, watching me closely. There was always something going on in that head of his. Just whenever I thought I had read all of his moves, he always came up with new and inventive ways to break me down. I needed to b

Chapter: CHAPTER 54Damion's POV You’d think I would be the last man on earth to take responsibility for what happened. You’d think that even after finding out all that had happened from Logan, I would let my pride win—that I would tell her off as usual. But I couldn't. Logan had told me everything. There was no confusion about what happened. It was hard to explain, just like the moment when I had felt her call out to me. But I had heard her. It was loud and clear. It was like a calming touch. Her voice was the string that was pulling me to the surface. It was the shield that came to my aid, keeping the beast away. I waited for her to say something, but shock had taken hold of her. She was gone. "Everyone, clear the room!" I commanded. No one dared to linger a second longer before storming out. "I know what happened. I owe my life to you, and I’m not going to act like that doesn’t count for something." "You’re sorry for what exactly?" "For pushing you away, for annoying you in anger

Chapter: CHAPTER 53Lyra(Mia’s)POVI sat in the dark car that had brought me here. The only difference was that Logan was driving, and I was with the man responsible for everything that was going on—Xander. Logan couldn’t stop taking shots at him. “Oh, you are so dead, Mr. Smart.” “Let me get this straight. So after you had declared that you had nothing to do with Xander, you are spotted with him. Do you lie for a living, or are you just trying to piss off Damion?” “You can’t ask me any questions.” After all, he had been there when everything was falling apart. He could have stepped up to rescue me. “Just take us to the damn palace.” He did me a favor and kept mute until we got to the palace. Damion was still in his silk bed, but he looked a lot more worn than when I had last left him. I stood in front of Damion, counting my toes. Xander stood beside me. It was a strange mystery how he still handled it all with confidence. Either Damion was feeling merciful, or he was feeding off the fact that he

Chapter: CHAPTER 52Lyra(Mia’s)POV I can't believe it. I had put so much effort into making sure that he was in good health. I never would have expected that he would play down all of my sacrifices. I was pissed, to say the least. The anger was boiling up, but that didn't take away the fact that I was still thinking about how he was feeling. So much for caring about him. The hospital had gotten toxic for me. I could understand his mother being ungrateful, but I expected more from him. Selling me out like that should have never been an option. I didn't care about the injury on me anymore. Instead of returning to my hotel room, I slipped on a hoodie and headed out of the hospital. I had just made it out of the hospital when I saw a car standing close to the hospital gate. I immediately recognized it as Xander's. It couldn’t have been him… The windows were down, and my biggest fears were confirmed. He stepped out of the car and began walking toward me. “How the hell did you get in here?” I asked, b

Chapter: CHAPTER 51Damion’s POV “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” my mother fumed under her breath as Mia closed the door. She was spiteful. But something about the whole thing made me feel like what just happened was the wrong decision. “But Mother, what you did was too harsh.” “Come off it, Damion . I don't know if that evil woman attempted to use some kind of spell on you while you were asleep. Don't forget she is not looking out for your good.” That didn’t sound right, even to a heartless man like me. If she didn’t care one bit, she wouldn’t have come to watch over me despite her injuries. It was absurd to see that she would put herself in such a position. Logan walked closer after I turned to him. I noticed that beneath the usual excitement he appeared to have, he hesitated, visibly troubled. “Leave!” he instructed the nurse before turning to me after she had left. “What is it?” “Tell me all about what happened.” “You transformed,” Logan began. But my mother wouldn’t let him finish. “Don’

Chapter: CHAPTER 50Damion’s POV Every part of my body was hurting. My legs felt like they were about to split in half anytime soon. Even the slightest movement was sending signals that shot through my nerves, making even breathing a struggle. I could hear a steady beeping sound in the background and the chatter of people. They didn't sound near, but their jumbled discussions were not clear enough. The light hit hard as I slowly lifted my eyelids. It took a couple of seconds and blinks to finally acclimate to the intrusion of light. "Where am I?" I managed to mutter. The answer was before me. All I could see was white—sheets and emptiness. There was no one in sight as far as my eyes could stretch. Sitting up would have given me a better chance to see the room, but my arms felt like a thousand grams were pressing down on them. I decided to lift a finger, but a sharp pain immediately repelled me. The thick smell of antiseptic whipped my nostrils, leading me to let out a sharp sniff. My eyes took i

When her father arranges her marriage to Leonard Ricci, the most powerful and ruthless mafia boss in Italy, she’s thrust into a world of power, violence, and deception.

As secrets unravel and bloodlines are tested, Isabella faces an impossible choice: follow her heart and risk everything, or remain loyal to a family that sees her as a pawn in their game. But Leonard has his own battles to fight, and in a world where love is a dangerous weakness, the only thing more treacherous than their enemies is the growing connection between them.
Power. Betrayal. Love. When the stakes are life or death, can two souls caught in the crossfire find a way to save each other, or will they be torn apart by the very forces that brought them together?

Chapter: CHAPTER 9Isabella woke to sunlight streaming through partially opened curtains and an empty space beside her. The sheets on Leonard's side were cool to the touch; he had been gone for some time. A note rested on his pillow, written in a strong, precise hand:{Business calls early. Breakfast on the terrace at 9. Don't be late.}She glanced at the elegant clock on the bedside table: 8:17. Just enough time to shower and dress. As she rose, she noticed a small box that hadn't been there the night before, wrapped in silver paper with no bow or card. Inside was a platinum bracelet, delicate but substantial, set with emeralds that matched her eyes. Not diamonds—the traditional choice—but something more distinct, more specific to her.A claim, not a gift. A beautiful shackle.Isabella slipped it onto her wrist regardless, admiring how the stones caught the light. If this was to be her life, she would embrace its luxuries while searching for its weaknesses. She would learn the rules of Leonard's world

Chapter: CHAPTER 8He took a measured sip, studying her over the rim of his glass. "I didn't bring you into my home, into my life, merely for the pleasure of forcing myself on an unwilling bride." His voice hardened slightly. "I have higher standards than that."Isabella stood straighter, lifting her chin. "So what exactly are your standards, Leonard? You've made it clear that I'm your property, a political alliance sealed in blood and paper. What role does my willingness play in any of this?"Something dangerous flashed in his eyes—not anger, exactly, but a predatory focus that reminded her exactly who she was dealing with. He set down his glass and approached her slowly, like a wolf circling wary prey."Let me be clear," Leonard said, stopping close enough that she could smell his cologne—sandalwood and something darker. "Our marriage is real, legal, and permanent. You are my wife. That means certain things are expected of us both." He lifted a hand, and she flinched slightly, but he only traced the a

Chapter: CHAPTER 7The ballroom had gone silent, hundreds of eyes watching the confrontation. Salvatore's face flushed with humiliation and rage, but the fear in his eyes was unmistakable."Perfectly," he spat, backing away. "Enjoy your wedding, Ricci."As Salvatore retreated, conversation gradually resumed around them. Isabella realized she had been holding her breath and exhaled slowly, trying to process what had just happened. Leonard had defended her—not as a possession being threatened, but as a person being disrespected. The distinction was small but significant.Leonard turned to her, his dark eyes searching her face. "Are you alright?""Yes," she answered, surprised to find it wasn't entirely a lie. "Who was that?""Salvatore Conti. He controls most of the shipping routes along the southern coast." Leonard's hand came to rest at the small of her back again, guiding her toward a quieter corner of the ballroom. "We have... history. He's testing boundaries.""Using me," Isabella said flatly.Leonar

Chapter: CHAPTER 6Isabella stared at her reflection in the ornate full-length mirror, barely recognizing the woman who gazed back at her. The wedding dress—a custom Valentino creation of ivory silk and delicate lace—hugged her figure perfectly. Too perfectly. It felt like a beautiful cage."You look stunning, Isabella" whispered Maria, the elderly maid who had been assigned to help her prepare. Her wrinkled hands trembled slightly as she adjusted the cathedral-length veil.Isabella met the woman's eyes in the mirror. "Thank you," she replied, her voice hollow. She wondered if Maria knew what this wedding truly was—not a union of love, but a business transaction sealed with her body and freedom as collateral.The door opened, and Gia slipped in, her bridesmaid dress a shade of burgundy that matched the Ricci family colors. Her face was a mask of practiced cheer, but her eyes betrayed her concern."They're almost ready for you," Gia said, approaching carefully. When Maria stepped away to retrieve the bou

Chapter: CHAPTER 5I could feel the weight of it all as soon as I entered the restaurant. The sound of glasses clinking and soft conversation blended with the aroma of roasted garlic and herbs. It was meant to be familiar and reassuring. But it felt like a prison tonight. The shiver that was creeping up my spine was too strong for the cozy glow of the candlelight.I saw Leonardo already seated at the table with my father. Wearing his typical fitted suit, my father appeared very relaxed, as though this were just another informal family meal. He took a slow, peaceful sip of his wine. However, Leonardo was another matter.He sat there like a king on his throne, exuding power in every subtle movement. He didn’t have to say a word, but his presence alone commanded the room. The waiters even appeared to be more careful around him, as if they were worried about taking a wrong step. The whole place seemed to give way to his will. With every step becoming more difficult, I forced myself to move in the direction o

Chapter: CHAPTER 4I watched the steam rise from my unfinished cappuccino while I sat in the rear of the café. The outside world seems so typical. People were passing by, having fun, and going about their daily lives as if nothing had happened. As if they weren't stuck in a nightmare from which they couldn't escape.As though I wasn't.Gia was eyeing me with that expression in her eyes as she swirled her drink across from me. When she sensed I was going to break, she always had the one.She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, saying, "Spill it." "You're suppressing something, and I won't let you go until you tell me what's happening."With a sigh, I combed through my hair. Even though the sun was streaming through the café windows and giving everything a lovely glow, it didn't make the pit in my stomach go away.What was I meant to say about this? How could I explain something to her that even I found difficult to comprehend?With a sour tone, I blurted out, "I'm getting married."Gia blinked,
