LOGINOn her 21st birthday, Elena's world shatters. Betrayed and discarded by her wealthy boyfriend, she stumbles into a bar to drown her sorrows, only to witness a masked man and his crew ruthlessly executing a traitor. Mistaking it for a film shoot, she brushes it off as a drunken hallucination. But the nightmare is only beginning. The next day, her gambling-addicted father sells her off like property, to none other than the infamous Mafia boss of the Velgrave Gang. The most dangerous man in the state. A billionaire. A killer. And her ex-boyfriend's uncle.

My knuckles turned white under the harsh fluorescent lights of the delivery suite.The agony peaked, blinding my vision. I arched my back off the mattress, fighting the overwhelming pressure.A guttural scream tore from my throat. I pushed with the final ounce of strength remaining in my exhausted body.I tasted copper on my tongue."You are almost there, Elena," Aris encouraged, maintaining a steady tone over the chaos. "One more. Give me one more."Noah anchored me. He stood beside the bed, letting me crush the bones in his hand. He wiped the cold sweat from my forehead with a damp cloth. He whispered frantic Italian prayers against my temple.I inhaled a ragged breath and bore down, pouring the last shred of my soul into the effort.Then, a sharp, piercing wail cut through the air.The sound hit the tiled walls, echoing across the massive room.The loud
[Elena's POV]Then, primal instinct hijacked his brain.He bent down and scooped me into his arms. He lifted my heavy, pregnant body off the ground with effortless strength.He held me tight against his chest. His heart hammered a violent, erratic rhythm against my ear.He looked terrified. The monster was scared.Noah turned toward the elevator and roared."Caleb!" he bellowed, the sheer volume shaking the metal fixtures in the ceiling. "Initiate Protocol Omega! Lock down the entire city! Get the cars moving right now!"The underground garage exploded into chaos.Men dropped their tools and grabbed rifles. Drivers sprinted toward the armored SUVs. Engines roared to life, filling the space with deafening exhaust noise. Sirens blared from the estate security system.The steel gates began to rise.The entire New York underworld mobilized in a matter of seconds. They dropped all criminal enterprises, all territory disputes, and all weapon shipments for a single objective.The little demo
[Elena's POV]The news of the detained shipment sent the Velgrave estate into total lockdown.Caleb dragged me into the center of the mansion.He stationed six armed guards at the reinforced steel doors.Noah did not stay with me. He grabbed his tactical jacket and marched straight to the private docks.He burned through two hundred thousand dollars in bribes just to bypass the federal customs agents.He hauled the suspicious metal container directly into our underground garage and then he refused to let the police bomb squad near his property.He used his own syndicate explosives experts.I sat on the edge of the master bed, watching the live security feed on Noah's tablet.Four men in heavy tactical bomb suits surrounded the massive metal crate.Noah stood ten feet away. He held a custom rifle, his jaw locked in a hard line. He expected a trap. He expected a rival syndicate to smuggle an explosive device into our home.Caleb gave a hand signal. A tech pried the heavy steel latch ope
"I said no, Adrian," Nicole repeated. She smelled the white roses."Look. You possess a fantastic body. Our bedroom compatibility breaks the charts. You choke me the exact way I like. But your lifestyle involves torture chambers and federal indictments."Adrian glared at her. "I will change the business structure. I will clean up the operations."Nicole pulled her arm free. "Do not lie to me. You love the violence. You love the power. If you change, you become boring. I do not date boring men. Be the monster. Just be the monster who visits my apartment on weekends."She tossed the bouquet to a random Viti cousin. She turned on her heel and walked away.Adrian stared after her. The supreme boss of the European underworld looked defeated.Don Viti cackled from the top of the stairs. "She broke him! The American girl broke the Vulture! I love that redhead!"Noah let out a low laugh. He pulled me close."Your friend is a menace," Noah noted."She is practical," I corrected.The celebratio
[Noah's POV]She looked thoroughly wrecked.I watched Elena pull her oversized shirt back into place, her fingers trembling so badly she fumbled the hem twice.Her lips were swollen, bitten red from suppressing her moans. Her eyes were hazy, glazed with a mixture of unspent desire and humiliation.
[Noah's POV]Ungrateful little wretch.I drove like a madman, weaving through traffic, cutting off pedestrians. My mind was a storm of fury. I would drag her back. I would lock her in the penthouse this time. I would tie her to the bed if I had to. She wanted to play games? Fine.I dialed her numbe
[Elena's POV]He pulled back immediately, dodging me with a dark, mocking chuckle.Then, he shifted his weight.I felt that heavy, pulsing length pressing against the side of my breast. A bead of his wetness soaked through the thin fabric of my nightgown.He dragged the blunt tip directly over my h
[Elena's POV]"But let's be honest, honey. You know why he did it, right? It wasn't because you're special."She smiled, showing all her teeth."He did it because you are an investment. An asset. Like a car or a racehorse. He
