"You're replaceable, but you'll be loyal to me and me alone. I don't care if other men touch your body, but only I get to fuck that tight little cunt of yours. Is that clear?" *** After being crowned the sexiest woman in North America, Bianca's world was turned upside down by a life-threatening heart condition. But everything changed when she awoke with a new heart-a gift from a mysterious stranger who wished to remain anonymous. Bianca meets the devil-Dante Wentworth, a DID billionaire who wants nothing more than to claim the body she craves to offer. Despite her best efforts to resist his magnetic pull, Bianca can't help but feel drawn to him, and her borrowed heart seems to ache for him more with every passing moment, turning her into a slave of rootless desires. To Dante, she's nothing but a plaything-a simple conquest. And he's bent on exploiting her obsession with him to its fullest. But what happens when Bianca discovers that her time left is limited and that some people are just irredeemable? Will she ever uncover who her donor was to Dante? Can the depth of her affection for him strike him as more than infatuation?

"You're nothing but my pawn, my slut, and a convenient hole for my pleasure." I scoffed, dragging my finger slowly across her trembling lips, letting it linger just long enough for her to taste herself on it. "You're replaceable, but you'll be loyal to me and me alone. I don't care if other men touch you, but only I get to fuck that tight little cunt of yours. Is that clear?"
Bianca nodded slowly, her determined gaze fixed on mine as though she'd not heard a derogatory word uttered.
"I only want you body, no more. Understand?" I looked down at her small form before me, noting how perfectly proportioned she was for my tastes.
She nodded again like an obedient little pup—and it was getting on my nerves. All I wanted to do was shove my boner down her throat to get more sounds out of her mouth. 'How slow can this woman be?' No matter how desperately she craves my touch, there had to be a limit to how pathetically needy someone could become.
A devious smirk formed at my lips as my second hand gripped her hair tightly, watching her wince was satisfactory—I couldn't wait to hurt her, to turn that flawless skin red from spanks and strokes. I needed to break her, to watch those wide blue eyes fill with tears, pleading for mercy that would never come.

'The donor's dying wish was that their identity remains anonymous, so please don't ask about it.' The doctor had said, flipping over to the next page of the written report in his hand. His nose wrinkled as he squinted behind his glasses.
'Is there a problem?' I asked, catching the hesitant look in his gaze.
'The donor didn't have any heart problems, rest assured, and the operation was impromptu so after you're discharged, try to take it easy. You might feel slightly different in the case that your outlook on life differs from what it used to be, but it would be merely a lingering feeling and nothing to worry about.'
***
My brows furrowed, recalling the words of the doctor who performed my heart transplant.
Five years ago, when I was twenty-two and at the pinnacle of my career, my heart had begun to act up. From unnaturally high blood pressure to extremely low ones. The severity of my condition had peaked about a year ago, shortly after being crowned the most beautiful woman in North America.
Oh, I had it all! Money, fame, sponsorship and a dazzling future ahead—even a fiancé who I'd thought to be my soulmate. The only thing I didn't have was time.
My heart, they said, was failing me, and without a transplant, I wouldn't make it past a year. The irony wasn't lost on me—
I remember the despair, the nights spent lying awake, clutching my chest as if I could will my heart to beat just a little longer.
My health had deteriorated to the point where I couldn't leave the hospital at all. At the time, my popularity helped me gain donations and sponsorships to finance the hefty medical bills—but you know what they say about fame. The quicker you reach it, it's faster you lose it.
No one wanted to assist a woman who visibly wasn't getting better, leaving me to my own devices.
For those excruciating six months, I'd lived on life support. I was my crutch and very own sympathiser. The lower you go, the faster you realize how fleeting life could be.
My 'soulmate' said he couldn't love a woman whose lifespan was already at its limit and my family saw my bills as a never-ending burden even while knowing I'd already exhausted most of my life savings to stay alive.
Even the nurses scorned my circumstances.
'What's the point of being the most beautiful woman if you die young?'
They'd snicker in pairs outside my room while I feigned sleep.
My career, my life and my future was over—I'd lost everything. When I finally learned to accept it, willing to die before I lost myself in the process, I'd woken up to find my doctor blabbing that the surgery was a success.
Surgery?!
There were so many questions on my mind; from who the donor was to why the hospital hadn't seen it fit to seek my double permission to do so. Yes, I'd hoped for a transplant months ago but with no suitable donor—the throng of them being suicidal fan-boys, I'd long since given up on the idea and accepted my fate.
Honestly, I was grateful to be given a second chance but had my queries about why the donor wanted to remain anonymous after death. I longed to know their identity—from their hobbies to their family and life's work.
The doctor had mentioned that my outlook on life might feel slightly...different, but so far it had gone pretty smoothly.
Reality hit the second I stepped out of the hospital and I quickly grasped how broke I was. I needed to make money and no one wanted the 'ex-most beautiful woman in North America who'd just got a heart transplant.'
I was stuck, conflicted between my pride and the debts I was being pressured to pay back.
But after being on death's door once, you realise that your 'pride' doesn't put food on your table or pay the bills that need to be paid. No, money does.
And to get money, you needed to work for it—body and soul.
Or just body in my case seeing how no one could shove their dick down my soul.
"Bianca Campbell?" the sharp voice of a male called from behind me.
My head snapped around, searching the darkness for the source of the sound. The wind whipped against my face, scattering my hair as I squinted to focus on him. His presence was commanding, yet something about him felt off—like he was too calm, too prepared for this encounter.
He had broad shoulders, sizeable arms and a puffed chest that signified regular visits to the gym. There was a white mask covering the upper half of his face, obscuring his eyes but leaving his strong jaw and thin lips exposed. The mask was stark white, smooth and unadorned. It curved around his cheekbones, resting over the bridge of his nose, almost like porcelain moulded to perfection.
The lips that peeked out from beneath the mask were thin and pale, contrasting sharply with his well-groomed, dark moustache that traced the contours of his upper lip. His jawline was sharp and clean-shaven, the kind that suggested meticulous care.
This man was no pushover.
"Yes?" I replied slowly, sliding loose strands of blonde hair behind my ear while wondering who in their right mind would set the venue of a hook-up on the highest floor of a skyscraper! Was he some sort of kinky psychopath or worse, a killer?
The man didn't respond immediately; instead, he took a measured step forward, his polished shoes clicking against the cold concrete. The suitcase he held looked unassuming, but the way he gripped it made me uneasy.
His cologne wafted toward me, a musky blend of something dark and seductive that seemed too edible for a man's taste. My pulse quickened as he stopped just a few feet away, close enough for me to catch the faint outline of a frown on his lips.
"The password?" He inquired casually.
I stared at him incredulously, wondering if he lacked the slightest bit of courtesy, not bothering to introduce himself when he already knew my identity.
"Raw..." I said, ignoring the voices in my head that screamed 'danger.' The fact that there was a password was already shady but the venue and his unbothered way of speaking screamed serial killer!
What if he threw me off the building? What if he wanted to dissect me and stuff my organs inside his suitcase? What if he was one of those cannibals that revelled in human meat and his tools were in the box?
"What's in the box?" I finally asked, unable to hide my nervousness.
"My tools for work."
"Tools?"
"You talk too much," he spoke huskily, the words leaving his lips seemed to caress my ears as he squatted to open the suitcase. "Take the skirt off if you still need my money."
My legs buckled, thighs rubbing together as my heart raced. Yes, this stranger had offered me a hefty sum for tonight—money which would keep me out of business for a few months. Walking away wasn't an option, I knew that—he knew that, and the fat bonus he'd promised after an enjoyable night knew that.
I slid my mini skirt down, walking to perch my ass on one of the elevated slabs of concrete.
There was no point in thinking about it now. I needed the money, and if my body would suffice as a medium, then so be it.
A shameless grin formed on my lips as I spread my legs wide open, inviting him to look between my thighs. "You like what you see, Daddy?" I murmured, arching my back provocatively while one hand moved to massage my soaked panty.
[Bianca]I pressed my lips together, holding in a shiver at what Dante had just done.The words were still ringing in my head, even though he was long gone. What the hell was wrong with him? Who proposed like that? Who thought marriage was some kind of… bandaid you could slap over a bleeding wound?The sad part was that he wasn’t even trying to save me. No. He only wanted control. That was all he ever wanted. Control over my body, my time, my breath, my death. And the stupid thing? A part of me wasn’t even surprised that it was the most narcissistic proposal ever. If it was even a proposal.I almost laughed. Almost.Because the truth was, this life didn’t even feel like mine to begin with. I had been dragged in and tied down without my permission, and somewhere along the way I stopped trying to live it. What was the point? Even if I said out loud what I felt, people would just pat my hand and tell me to see a therapist. I could already guess the lines they’d feed me. Your life matte
[Dante]"Then marry me."I didn't know how or why, but the words left my lips before I could think them over.For some reason, hearing Bianca say she had nothing to live for... hearing her so casually choose death after everything she'd survived—it was harder to stomach than I thought it would be."Marry me, Bianca," I repeated, louder this time. I didn't have a ring, I didn't have a plan, but the details didn't matter. What mattered was that she stayed alive.Marriage wasn't something I'd ever considered, at least not for a long time. To me, it was bondage. Chains disguised as vows. Children were loud, clingy distractions. A wife was a constant demand for emotions I wasn't willing to give. Both things I'd spent my life avoiding.I preferred efficiency. Clean breaks. No strings attached. We fuck, we move on without digging through each other's hearts searching for meaning that wasn't there.But Bianca... she was different.I wasn't sure why. I couldn't even explain it to myself. But f
[Bianca]I woke to the sound of beeping. A noise I knew all too well. Hence, before I even opened my eyes, I knew where I was. The smell of disinfectant, the stiffness of the sheets, the texture of the bed—this was a hospital. My eyes fluttered open to confirm that guess, and the first thing I saw was Dante.He was slouched in the chair beside me, one arm propped against the armrest, his head tipped sideways. His eyes were shut, lashes above high cheekbones. Even asleep, he looked like something out of a magazine.A frown formed on my face. The last thing I remembered was the crash. Dante had dodged a truck but ended up colliding with the edge of the bridge. So why was he just sitting there while I was the one lying in a bed hooked up to machines?I was still watching him when his eyes cracked open. The initial exhaustion in his gaze turned to alertness when they found mine. I braced for something sarcastic, some reminder of how fragile I was or how much of his precious time I'd was
[Dante]The moment the car broke free of the bridge, everything flipped. I kicked at my door before the shock could steal my focus. Once, twice—my heel connecting hard with metal until it gave way with a hollow groan. At least that way, there would be a route to swim out of.The river swallowed us whole.I'd already braced my legs against the dash, boots planted for leverage, but the sheer force of the landing almost punched the air out of my lungs. Water slammed against the windshield and the current rushed in all at once.I held my breath, knowing that wasting oxygen was like a death sentence. I had to act fast.The airbag was still suffocating against my face which made me wonder if it'd been installed for my detriment or benefit. My fingers clawed at it, shoving the deflated fabric away, ripping it down far enough to see Bianca slumped in her seat.She looked weightless, her blonde hair floating in the rising water. I watched air bubbles exit her lips.I unfastened my own belt, t
[Dante]Petty.That was the only word to describe my actions. I’d never been the type to let emotion dictate my actions, much less over something as trivial as a kiss.Yet the image of Bianca pressing her lips to that… nobody, of all people—had made me act unconsciously.It wasn’t the act itself that still got under my skin, it was the fact that I’d fallen into her trap by proving that she had that sort of effect on me. I was undeniably a possessive man. I thought I could stomach her being with another man aside from me but maybe I’d been wrong about that.How annoying.By the time I slid behind the wheel of the car, it was nearing six in the evening. There was no traffic and the late-day sun bled gold across the windshield. Malcolm should’ve been driving, but Malcolm was dead, and I wasn’t in the mood to hire a new driver just yet. What if I hired an enemy? Bianca sat beside me, arms crossed the whole ride, staring out the passenger window as if the city might offer her an escape ro
[Bianca]The meeting went by smoothly at least.I moved around the room like nothing had happened, handing out documents while Dante conducted the meeting with that cool, unreadable expression of his. No hint of the fire that had burned between us earlier. No acknowledgement of our bodies that had lingered together too long. Right now, he was Dante Wentworth.In thirty minutes, the meeting wrapped up. Leather chairs creaked as the board members began rising one after the other, murmuring polite goodbyes."Mr. Gerald," Dante said suddenly. "I'd like to have a word."Gerald—who was already halfway out of his seat—froze, then turned with a placid, practised smile. "Of course." He lowered himself back down slowly, clearly caught off guard.I made to leave, giving them space."Bianca," Dante said sharply. "You too. Take a seat."I paused. Of course. Now I had a pretty good idea what this was about.Gerald was still looking at me, smug as ever. I sat across from him, spine straight and arms
