LOGINHer body went still. Then his voice dropped lower, laced with venom and promise. “By the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you never said …I do.” Angelo placed his hand on the small of her back, pulling her closer in… closer than fear, closer than escape. He leaned in, his smile picture perfect for the cameras. “Now kiss your groom,” he murmured. Then…. His breath ghosted over her lips before sealing the moment with a kiss… cold, calculated and final. This wasn't marriage, nor love. Rather, it was war. It was the beginning of her sentence. Millicent felt it in her bones, the quiet threat beneath his touch. She hadn't just married a man. She had stepped into the arms of her executioner. “Smile for the crowd, Mrs. De Angelis,” Angelo whispered in a low and poisonous voice. “Because soon… they'll be watching you burn.” *Click* The cameras flashed. ~~~~~~~~ To save her brother, Millicent Romano agreed to marry the one man her heart never forgot, Angelo De Angelis. But he isn’t the boy she once knew. He’s a Don now. A powerful and ruthless Don who was hell-bent on revenge. To Angelo, she’s nothing more than a pawn, poisoned gift from an enemy empire. The wedding was never about love… it was about war. But desire doesn’t play by the rules of vengeance, and neither does the past they share. As vengeance dives deep, obsession dives ten times deeper. As secrets unravel, there's only one question left…. When love is laced with blood, someone's bound to bleed. In a world where loyalty kills faster than bullets.... Who will fall first?

Truth be told, he hadn’t really taken a proper look at her until now. During the vows, he’d been too stunned to process anything. But here, in the quiet intimacy of the dance, he finally saw her… really saw her. And by the heavens, she was even more beautiful than he remembered. The dress clung to her skin like a second layer, hugging every curve shamelessly. Scarlet red, seductive and bold, it made her look like a goddess of temptation. Like a seductress, a temptress. And the golden highlights on the dress shimmered against the fabric, catching the light as they danced, and blending effortlessly with her golden-blonde hair.Millicent Romano. Yes, she was stunning. Breathtaking, even. But beneath the elegance and glittering jewels, Angelo knew what truly lurked beneath the surfac
Chapter 5. KARMA'S SON.——♣—— Millicent left the courtyard and sat curled in a corner of the estate, trembling like a leaf. After Angelo's venom threatening words, she had fled the moment she snapped their photo. Yes, she knew he had changed. But the hate in those blue eyes, the anger, the pain… it was far more than she had ever anticipated. Ever. “God, help me out of this pit,” she whispered through clenched teeth, her voice laced with dread. Just as she looked around, she wasn't sure if she could even stay in the Estate anymore. All she wanted to do was get out. She wanted to run back to her cozy little apartment in Rome. Wanted to escape this suffocating place. She had always anticipated the day of her wedding, hoped it would be her own day of joy. But… upon realizing she had 3 months left to live, well… she had managed to let go of the idea. And now that she finally had it, she…didn't …want it.
Chapter 4. MRS. DE ANGELIS.—— ♣ ——The air felt light as the music shifted to a romantic one. The guests stood as the doors opened, and Millicent began her walk down the aisle in the company of her father. Most people usually had butterflies on the day of their wedding, but all she had was dread. She felt like a sacrificial lamb being brought to the altar. The monster beside her was going to hand her over to the devil, the dark angel. Perhaps her reluctance was heavily expressed on her face, because beside her, her father whispered. “Smile. Or I'll have Luca's kidney served to you on a plate by sunset.”Her jaw tensed. “You had better not forget, the moment I say the vows, he'll get released. That was the deal.” But instead of reassuring her, Salvatore chuckled. “Deals evolve, figlia mia.” Millicent froze, wide eyed.“Pull yourself together and smile, Millicent,” he whispered as he tightened
Chapter 3. THE BRIDE IN RED.—— ♣ —— Two days had passed quickly. And no matter how hard she'd tried to escape it, she was getting married today. It was her reality. The silk of the gown clung to Millicent's body like a second skin. She was covered in the Red Devils traditional bridal colour. Blood red and gold that shone under the chandelier light. Millicent looked at her dress, red for power and gold for legacy. It was the traditional bridal dress of their empire. Even at her own wedding, she was just another possession of the Red Devils. How pathetic. As she gazed at her reflection, memories of her childhood flooded her mind. She remembered being little, and always wanting to please her father. Always wanting to make herself worthy, to prove she was worthy, just like her step brothers. She would spend countless of hours studying the Red Devils tradition, desperately wanting to know more about the mafia as a child, even though
