LOGINI gave my husband everything—my love, my loyalty, my future. But to him, I was just a fool to be used, a wife to be discarded. The night he threw me out in the rain, pregnant and broken, his mistress smirked as the door slammed shut. And when my baby died from the cruelty of their betrayal, I made a vow over that tiny coffin: I would bury them both beside my child. Then I met Rolin McCarty—the most dangerous man in the country. Ruthless. Powerful. Who is willing to help me burn my husband’s world to the ground. Alex thought he broke me. But he only awakened something worse. And now? Now, he’ll wish he’d killed me when he had the chance.
View MoreIslaThe world began to dim around the edges as I clung to Rolin, my body slowly going slack in his arms. I felt his strength wrap around me, holding me up like I was something breakable. Maybe I was.He picked me up—so gentle it almost hurt—and the sway of his steps lulled me deeper into the haze. By the time he laid me on the bed, I was already halfway gone.But then—his lips pressed against my forehead. Soft. Reverent.I wasn’t ready to let go.My fingers clutched the sleeve of his shirt like a warning. Something inside me whispered that leaving him now would cost more than I could afford. Still, sleep took me—long, dreamless, and cold.When I finally opened my eyes, morning had crept in quietly. Rolin was still asleep, chest rising steadily, unbothered.I didn’t wake him.I washed up, grabbed my pre-packed bag, and slipped out like a shadow. Kali was supposed to pick me up today. I waited by a
IslaWe got home in silence—me, Jamie, and Rolin. As soon as I stepped inside, I handed off my excuses like they were pre-packed and ready to serve.“I need a minute,” I muttered, already halfway up the stairs before anyone could ask me why.I didn’t stop until I reached my leisure room and locked the door behind me with a soft click. That was the sound of reality taking a pause.Because now?Now it was Lucía Vergara’s time.Cold-blooded killer. Queen of the underground. The woman who built an empire from nothing but blood, bullets, and the venom in her veins.They tried to rip it all from her—the men she fed, raised, and crowned. But they underestimated one thing: she never needed them to build her throne. And she’d never beg to keep it.They plotted. They failed. She ran. But not to hide—only to regroup.Now she was clawing her way back, demanding an alliance with Don Salvatore’s mafia. And in three days, they’d finally agreed to meet her.Tick, tick, tick.I sat cross-legged in fro
Isla I straightened up the moment I saw Rolin and Jamie staring at me like I’d walked in with a second head and horns. Right. I still had one half of the damn moustache flapping on my upper lip. I cleared my throat, peeled it off casually, and replaced the chaos in my eyes with a gentle, domesticated smile. Oscar-worthy performance incoming. “Hey, love,” I purred, gliding over to Rolin like I hadn’t just caused a multi-million-naira wedding meltdown. “How are you feeling?”God! I should have gone into acting. He blinked, then—blushed. That blushy, boyish tint lit up his face making him look cute and handsome at the same time and I couldn’t help the soft chuckle that escaped me. “I’m alright,” he muttered, looking everywhere but at me. I leaned in and pressed a light kiss on his lips, sweet and quick—just enough to fluster him again. Then I turned to Jamie, already shifting into boss mode. “Jamie, did the doctor say anything new?” “Yes, ma’am. He can be discharged tomorrow,” Ja
IslaI shoved chairs, trays—hell, even a wedding cake stand—out of my way as I sprinted, vaulting over tables like some rogue extra in a James Bond flick. Screw that—I was 007. In heels. With better hair.The place was in total chaos behind me. Screams, crashing plates, someone fainting—chef’s kiss. I really outdid myself this time.I dared a glance back. Shit. That was… way too many angry people chasing one woman with a fake moustache and zero regrets.I burst into a giggle and kicked into a full sprint.“Having fun?” Raymond’s voice crackled through my earpiece, calm as ever. The man lived for moments like these.“Like you wouldn’t believe,” I panted, tugging my cap lower over my face as I dodged a flailing arm from an angry uncle in a three-piece suit.“Well, babe, we’ll have to save this date for another time…” he drawled, and I heard it—the unmistakable sound of lips smacking.I rolled my eyes so hard I almost gave myself a migraine. “Wait.
