The black SUV screeched to a halt in front of the grand mansion.

Before the guards could even step forward, Alex shoved his door open. He stepped around to the passenger side, unbuckled the seatbelt, and lifted Iliyana into his arms. Her head fell limp against his chest, her skin cold and pale.

Alex marched through the front entrance. The entire mansion was dead silent. The house staff kept their heads bowed, not daring to breathe as the Boss carried his injured bride up the marble stairs.

Moving with extreme care, he laid Iliyana down against the soft pillows.The family doctor was already waiting inside the room, trembling with fear."Fix her," Alex commanded, his voice cold and terrifying. "If she stays in pain, you won't leave this room alive.""Y-Yes, Mr. Sterling," the doctor stammered, rushing to the bedside with his medical kit.Alex stood in the corner of the room with his arms cros

    Adrin threw Iliyana down onto the cold, hard floor with full force.A sharp pain shot through her back. Dust flew into her mouth, and she tasted blood from her split lip.Before she could move, Adrin pressed his heavy weight on top of her. He held her jaw tightly and smiled like a monster."Welcome to your wedding room, sweetheart," he whispered with an evil laugh."Get off me!" Iliyana cried out, pushing his chest with both hands.She kicked and thrashed, but he was too heavy. Fear filled her heart, but in that dark moment, only one person came to her mind—Alex. She hated Alex, but right now, she wished he would appear out of nowhere and save her."You don't know what you're doing," Iliyana spat, looking into his eyes. "If Alex finds out, he will burn you alive. He will kill you!"Adrin laughed loudly. "Alex? You think he cares about you? He only bought you for your body. Once he gets bored, he will throw you away like garbage. A girl like you can never be a wife. You are only good e

    Iliyana woke up with a sharp ache spreading across her spine. She hadn't touched the huge mattress; she had spent the long night curled up against the cold baseboard in the far corner. Pale morning light cut through the drapes. Within seconds, reality hit her chest like a stone—the ruined wedding, the forced signatures, and being dragged into this gilded cage.A sudden knock broke the quiet.She got to her feet, brushed off her rumpled clothes, and pulled the heavy door open.A young maid stood in the hallway holding a neat stack of folded fabrics and fresh towels. The girl instantly lowered her head."Good morning, Queen."Iliyana flinched. "My name is Iliyana. Just use that."The girl's eyes widened in panic. "No, please. The master was clear. It is either Queen or Ma'am.""Then Ma'am. Never the other word.""Yes, ma'am," the maid whispered, offering the pile. "Please take a shower and change. I have breakfast coming right up."Iliyana stepped back, crossing her arms. "Take it away

    Late that night, the massive master bedroom was quiet as a grave. Iliyana sat on the edge of the king-sized bed, clutching the soft blanket. Her ankle was tightly wrapped in a clean white bandage. Her life had changed so fast. Not long ago, she was just an ordinary girl working at a small café, living a quiet and simple life. And now, out of nowhere, she had been turned into the wife of the city's most dangerous mafia boss. It felt like a terrifying nightmare she couldn't wake up from.Hot tears poured endlessly down her cheeks. Slowly, Iliyana pushed herself up from the bed. Limping on her uninjured foot, she walked over to the tall full-length mirror and stared at her reflection. She was still wearing the white wedding gown. For every young woman, a wedding day is supposed to be the happiest start of a new life. But staring at her reflection, all Iliyana felt was cold emptiness. Neither Adrin nor John cared about her heart. To both of them, she was nothing more than a prize to

    It was two o'clock in the morning. Outside the house, John's armed guards stood near the front gate, watching the street. Inside the dark house, David quietly opened Iliyana's bedroom door. He had a small flashlight in his hand. He walked over to her bed and shook her awake. "Wake up," David whispered urgently. "Get up right now."Iliyana sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Dad? What happened?""Pack a few clothes. We have to leave this second," he said, handing her a coat. Iliyana followed him down the dark hallway on her tiptoes. But David did not go toward the front door. He led her into the kitchen and unlocked the small back door that opened into an alley behind their garden. "Dad, where are we going?" Iliyana asked, shivering in the cold night air. David pushed open the broken wooden fence. "We are running away. We are going to Adrin. I will get you married to him tonight, and Alex will never know."Before Iliyana could say anything, David grabbed her arm and pulled her into

    Iliyana barely remembered how she made it out of the café. Her legs were shaking the entire way home. The cold wind bit into her cheeks, but all she could see when she closed her eyes was John Alex standing on the sidewalk, with her mother's red scarf wound tightly around his knuckles. She pushed the front door of her house open, completely out of breath. Her father, David Lavish, was standing in the hallway. He looked up, his face tight with anger. "Where have you been all this time?" David demanded, crossing his arms. "Why are you coming home so late from that damn café every single day?"Iliyana tried to steady her voice. "Dad, please... the café was packed today. There was so much work to clean up—""I don't care about your little café!" David cut her off loudly. "Did you forget what I told you this morning? Adrin is coming over tonight to meet you! I told you to be home early. He is going to be your husband, Iliyana!"A sharp pain hit Iliyana's chest. Tears burned behind her
