LOGINHe murdered her father. Now he must marry her to keep her alive. Isabella Moretti lived as an ordinary artist in a quiet coastal town until the night masked men dragged her from her bed and delivered her to the most feared man in the underworld: Damien Voss "The Reaper", the rival don widely suspected of ordering her father’s assassination. Cold, calculating, and brutally possessive, Damien sees her only as leverage: a hidden pawn to control her father’s crumbling empire and crush any challengers but Isabella refuses to be caged. Beneath her innocent facade lies a sharp mind and a growing hunger for power. As deadly secrets surface: her father’s monstrous betrayals, enemies within both families, and the shocking truth that she may have unknowingly helped orchestrate his downfall, Isabella must navigate a deadly game of alliances, seduction, and vengeance. In a world where trust is fatal, the line between captor and protector blurs. Damien’s icy control begins to crack into obsessive need, and Isabella discovers the most dangerous truth of all: she craves the monster who owns her.
View MoreThe blood moon hung low over the rebuilt Project Reaper facility, bathing the ruins in crimson light. Five years had passed since the birth of our daughters and the integration of Elias into our family. Five years of preparation, of raising children who carried the weight of cursed bloodlines while teaching them they were more than experiments. Aurora, now five, stood tall beside her father with the fierce confidence of a born leader. Seraphina, four and a half, gripped my hand tightly, her grey eyes sharp and unafraid. Elias, ten years old, stood protectively in front of his sisters, knife strapped to his side like the warrior he was becoming. Our youngest, little Dante — named after the inferno we had walked through — toddled between us, oblivious to the stakes but sensing the tension.This was the night the compulsion was supposed to activate. The night The Eclipse had promised our children would turn on us and walk willingly into their shadow empire.We had come to end it where it
The nursery had evolved from a sanctuary into a training ground disguised as playtime. Two years had passed since the destruction of the original Project Reaper facility, but the shadow of The Eclipse never fully lifted. Aurora, now two and a half, moved with the confident grace of a child who already understood power. She stacked blocks into perfect fortresses only to knock them down with a delighted laugh that sounded far too much like a battle cry. Seraphina, eighteen months old, followed her sister everywhere on chubby legs, her grey eyes sharp and watchful. Elias, seven now, had become their fierce protector, practicing knife forms with Rico in the mornings and reading them stories at night.I watched them from the window seat, my hand absently rubbing the small swell of my third pregnancy. This one was a boy. Damien’s joy at the news had been primal—he had taken me against the nursery wall the moment the doctor left, whispering dark promises about raising a son who would stand b
The first snow of the season fell softly outside the nursery windows, blanketing the mountain estate in a deceptive calm. Inside, the room was warm with the glow of soft lamps and the sound of children. Aurora, now eleven months old, toddled across the rug with determined steps, chasing a silver rattle. Little Seraphina, barely two months old, lay on a play mat, kicking her legs and cooing at the mobile above her. Elias sat cross-legged nearby, carefully stacking blocks into a fortress while keeping one eye on his sisters.I watched them from the rocking chair, my heart swelling with a love so fierce it hurt. Motherhood had changed me in ways I never expected. The woman who had once been dragged from her quiet coastal life as leverage was now the fierce protector of three souls who carried the weight of two dangerous bloodlines.Damien stood behind me, his hands resting on my shoulders, thumbs pressing into the tight muscles there. He had barely left my side since Seraphina’s birth. T
The mountain estate had never felt smaller. Even with its sprawling wings, reinforced walls, and layers of armed security, the walls seemed to close in as the blood moon approached. I stood in the nursery at 3 AM, rocking a fussy Seraphina against my chest while Aurora slept soundly in her crib and Elias dozed in the oversized armchair beside her. The baby girl had inherited her father’s intensity — she rarely settled unless she could feel one of us close.Damien appeared in the doorway like a shadow given form. His dark hair was tousled from another sleepless night, the Reaper tattoo on his arm flexing as he crossed to us. He took Seraphina gently from my arms, cradling her against his broad chest with a tenderness that still stole my breath every time.“She senses it,” he murmured, voice low and rough. “The storm coming.”I leaned against him, resting my head on his shoulder. At nine months old, Aurora was pulling herself up and babbling words that sounded dangerously close to “Dada
"Get your hands off me!" I screamed, kicking hard at the man dragging me down the hallway. My bare feet scraped against the cold floor. Rain still clung to my soaked pajamas, making everything stick to my skin."Shut up, girl. The boss is waiting," the bald guy growled, tightening his grip on my a
Damien pulled me through the connecting door into his room, his grip firm on my wrist. The sound of gunfire still popped outside like angry fireworks that wouldn’t stop.“Stay low,” he ordered, shutting the heavy door behind us and locking it. His room smelled like him, dark wood, gun oil, and tha
Gunshots cracked outside like fireworks gone wrong. I pressed my back against the wall, heart hammering so hard I felt dizzy.“Come on, come on,” I whispered, pacing the room. The locked connecting door stared back at me. I could hear boots running in the hallway and men shouting orders. A loud ba
My blood ran cold.I pressed my ear against the connecting door, barely breathing. Damien’s voice came through low and sharp on the other side.“Watch her closely, Rico. She’s smarter than she looks. And if any Moretti loyalists come sniffing around tonight, shoot first.”Rico answered with a grunt
