LOGINWhen the ruthless heir of a crime syndicate comes to collect an old debt, Jade's world shatters. His father owes money he can't repay, and his desperate solution is unthinkable. He offers Jade's underaged sister as a bride to the merciless Salvatore Domenico. But Jade won't let his sister be sacrificed. Instead, he steps forward, offering himself in her place. What Jade doesn't know is that Salvatore has been waiting for this moment. Years ago, Jade's powerful family branded Salvatore's father a traitor and had him killed. Now, Salvatore has returned, not for money, but for revenge. Taking Jade into his world of blood, loyalty, and violence should have been the perfect punishment. Yet, the closer Salvatore draws him into the shadows, the more the line between vengeance and desire blurs. Revenge was supposed to be sweet. But Jade tastes like something far more dangerous.

His eyes widened, those big blue orbs looking down at me with what I’d like to think was fascination.“Open up for me darling,” I whispered, kissing his inner thigh. “I promise to make it worth your while.”“I need to go back to my room,” he stuttered. “You don’t have to worry about Leonardo and his tricks. I don’t hold it against you. If you’ll just let me…”I grabbed his balls, watching in deep satisfaction as he moaned without meaning to. A deep pink bloomed on his cheeks, his dick hardening in my face. Years ago and he would’ve hit me in the face for even touching his arm. Jade had been a jumpy and quiet kid. It was a miracle he’d managed to have relationships at all while growing up. He never let anyone touch him. Not even me. I guess it was why seeing him get completely undone by me was even more thrilling. It was a shame he had no memory of us. It would’ve made this
JadeI didn’t look back. The moment the lights flickered and the hallway dipped into darkness, I bolted. My feet slapped against the cold marble, breath tearing out of my chest in sharp bursts.I’d barely changed out of clothes when my phone pinged and I saw the news article that had been written about me. For a moment I couldn’t breathe. The words blurred, then sharpened, like they wanted to carve themselves into my skin. My stomach twisted violently, shame crawling up my throat like poison. I kept scrolling even though it hurt. A picture of me bent over and cleaning the table, flashed across the page. My expression was blank, eyes lowered. The comments were worse.“Rich boy gone pathetic.”“Salvatore keeps him like a dog.”“He’s not a lover—he’s a slave.”My pulse hammered so hard I felt dizzy. It wasn’t just humiliation, it was betrayal. Salvatore did it. He exposed me. He wanted the world to see what he had reduced me to. A choking pressure burned behind my eyes. The air fel
SalvatoreI couldn’t tell why my chest got tighter every time I let myself steal a glance at Jade. His face was blank, his lips drawn into a straight line. I hated that I could never tell what he was thinking.It was like he shut me off from his world. Rightfully so.“How does your back feel?” I tried to strike a conversation with him for the thousandth time, only to be met with the one-word answers he had been giving me all evening.“Fine.”I cleared my throat and tried again. “Mathilda told me you had a fever. I was busy with work so I couldn’t check on you myself.”He didn’t bother with an answer this time. I turned to the window and looked at the passing night life. Colored lights bounced off the glass as the car sped down the road. I tried to focus on the dinner I was about to have with Leonardo and his family.The council had claimed that the union between our families would ensure that we remain allies which will in turn ensure peace and stability between the four districts. B
JadeSomething cold slithered across my forehead, pulling me out of the void I had been immersed in. Then there was weight—a heavy, dragging weight on my chest that made breathing thick and painful.Then I heard it. A slow, delicate hiss. My eyes snapped open.Darkness. Absolute. Except for a thin ribbon of moonlight leaking in from the open curtains, slicing through the black like a knife. Where was I? And what had made that sound? The walls were not beige and void of life like the room Salvatore had assigned to me. “Is anyone there?” I called softly but there was no response. I stood up, only to be met with excruciating pain. My back felt like someone had pierced an object through it and twisted said object until I couldn’t feel the other parts of my body. I laid back on the bed. Even something as simple as sitting up felt like I was being dragged through hell. The last thing I remembered was the shoot out and trying to get out of the car. What if the attackers had captured me
SalvatoreMy favorite thing about my wife was how his body had an immediate response to whatever I did. Right now, his cheeks were a dark red, like I’d rubbed his blood on them. I couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment or because he was turned on—maybe both.“That’s not true,” he stuttered, ref
JadeThe pain was instant. It started from the base of my skull and spread to my temple, setting into a buzzing noise at the back of my head. I pressed my face into the pillow and groaned. I was never listening to Bella ever again.Twisting my body under the duvet, I reached for the bottle of aspir
JadeIt wasn’t until Salvatore started to undo the buttons of my shirt that his words registered in my head. “What are you doing?” I grabbed his hands, stopping him. He looked at me with a bored expression, “Taking off your bloody shirt of course. I cannot stand the sight of it.”“Maybe if you had
Salvatore‘Kill or be killed’, was the one rule I’ve lived by for the last ten years of my life. I wouldn’t be standing on my own two bloody feet if it weren’t for the courage I borrowed from those words. But standing in front of Beneditti and his lack of fingers made this one of the rare times I k
