Chapter 1

CASSANDRA'S POV~The hospital hallway was silent, extremely creepy enough to make me sprint for the exit. I was already exhausted, and the last thing I needed was to deal with one more patient. But then I heard it—a moan. Not the romantic kind, the kind that makes you jump out of your skin and reach for the nearest weapon. And just like that, my nurse instinct kicked in.Extremely curious, I followed where the sound must have emenated from, only for my heartbeat to slow on seeing a huge man leaning on the wall, his head bent, body shaking, hand clutched tightly on his arms. The moment he raised his head, I could see his dark, unkempt hair, glistening with perspiration. His angular, chiseled features were contorted into a grimace of pain, and his pale, sweaty skin only accentuated his cheekbones and sharp jawline.Despite the pain and blood, his face oozed danger, like a tiger wounded in the jungle. His expression was guarded, a silent warning that promised consequences if provoked.

Chapter 2

ADRIANO'S POV~As I stood before her, my gaze traveled across her petite, slender frame. She was exactly the kind of woman I desired. But there was something different about this one. A spark, a defiance in her eyes that I couldn't resist. It was as if she was daring me to try and break her."What's your name, pretty nurse?" I asked, my voice low and seductive. I didn't usually bother with flirting, but there was something about her that made me want to. Something that made me want to see how far I could push her.Her teeth clenched as she snarled at me. "Let go of me!" she demanded, pulling against my grip. I fought back a laugh, amused by her defiance. How adorable. Those flushed cheeks, the way her body stiffened against mine - it only made me want to push her further, a possessive need to claim her, to make her submit to me.I pulled her closer, relishing the gasp that escaped her lips as her body melted against mine. The scent of lavender and vanilla filled my nostrils, intoxicat

Chapter 3

ADRIANO'S POV~I surveyed the dark room I had speciallybuilt for nothing but pains for traitors like these, a grim smile curling my lips. Blood and sweat was heavy in the dark basement made specially for torture as I walked in. "Traitors," I spat, my voice cold. I watched impassively from the other side of the glass, my posture rigid, hands folded across my chest. The screams and pleas of the men in the torture room echoed against the reinforced walls, but I felt nothing. There was no room for mercy in my empire.As the minutes dragged on, my men worked with brutal efficiency, extracting every shred of information they could from our prisoners. At long last, one of my men emerged from the room, his suit splattered with crimson stains. He approached me, his head bowed in respect. "The mission is accomplished, boss." he said, " We have the information we need.""Hmm..." I hummed in satisfaction, slowly unfolding my arms and turned to him. "Tell me, who dares to bring trouble upon him

Chapter 4

CASSANDRA'S POV~My forehead creased in concern as Eden pulled away from my touch, brushing off my question with a dismissive, "Everything's fine." His eyes drifted away from mine and he turned back to his chair, his gaze seemingly lost in thought."Has anyone ever told you how much of a bad liar you are, Eden?" I slumped into the chair opposite him, my words falling from my lips in a desperate attempt to understand what was going on. His eyes darkened and he turned away from me."What's going on?" I pressed on.Eden sighed, his fingers running through his hair in frustration. "You know how much I've been working lately, stuck in the office, never taking a break." His voice trailed off, his eyes reddening."Yeah, what's wrong?" I asked again, tilting my head to the side, my heart pounding in my chest. "It's so frustrating! Very frustrating!! I lost it. I lost another order and a deal with Spectrum Technologies. You have no idea what this means, Cassandra. That corporation could have

Chapter 5

CASSANDRA'S POV~The Mafia Don puffed out his chest like a peacock, his eyes alight with pride. "Well, of course, I'm here to find my future wife, what else?" he declared, his tone matter-of-fact.I blinked several times, struggling to comprehend the sheer foolishness of his statement. "Are you kidding me?" I sputtered, my mouth agape. The urge to laugh hysterically, scream, and punch him in the face all at once warred within me.My eyes darted to the director, who was still sweating profusely and it was then I knew this strange man was definitely not kidding. My mouth clamped shut. Slowly I approached him. The Mafia Don tilted his head, a smug grin curling on his lips as he watched me. There was something dangerous, possessive even, in his gaze, and for a split second, I shivered with a mixture of fear and something else I couldn't quite place.He stood there, arms crossed over his chest, looking at me like I was some priceless treasure he had just discovered. And despite the precar

Chapter 6

CASSANDRA'S POV~The silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity, the tension so thick that even the air around us seemed to be holding its breath. Adriano's rage was palpable, and I fought hard not to cower under his intense gaze. Why was he so angry that he got to know I was dating? Was he actually insane? It was on the tip of my tongue to suggest he go see a psychiatrist, when suddenly, that wicked grin crept onto his lips."So long as you haven't said 'I do' to this boyfriend of yours," he drawled, his voice confident and sure, "then I still have a chance." "I'm a patient man," he continued, his eyes gleaming with an almost predatory light. "And I always get what I want, darling. So, whether it takes a week, a month, or even a year, I'll keep trying until you say yes."I gaped at him, my mouth hanging open in shock. He was arrogant, infuriating, and completely insane. And yet, despite myself, I couldn't deny that his brazen confidence was strangely alluring.Shit! Cassan

Chapter 7

CASSANDRA'S POV~"This had better be important, nurse," the deep baritone of Adriano's voice purred into my ear. A shiver ran down my spine, and for a split second I wondered if this was what evil sounded like. Then I mentally slapped myself."Right, no flirting," I told myself. "Just get to the point."Adriano, however, seemed to have a different idea. "You know, love," he cooed, "your voice is like music to my ears. Did I ever tell you that?"My blood began to boil."Listen, Adriano," I snapped, doing my best to ignore the wave of irritation washing over me. "I don't have time for your nonsense. Did you buy the land our old house was on, and then give us this villa?"Adriano laughed—a deep, throaty chuckle that sent a chill down my spine. Again. "What a fascinating question," he replied, still chuckling. "Why would you ask such a thing?"I clenched my teeth, grinding them together so hard I thought I might chip a tooth. "Just answer the damn question!""All right, all right," he sai

Chapter 8

EDEN'S POV~As I shut the door behind me, the sound of heels clicking on a runway filled the air. A quick glance at the wall clock confirmed that it was past 10PM. My mother sat, sipping green tea, her eyes glued to the fashion show on the TV screen. She smiled sweetly as I approached, leaning in for a kiss on her head."You look exhausted, Eden," she commented as she placed her cup on the stool in front of her."Just a long day at work," I replied, sinking onto the sofa with a sigh."Why don't you go freshen up, have something to eat, and then get some rest?" she suggested.I gave her a small nod, but hesitated. "Mom, there's something important I need to discuss with you," I began, my voice laced with weariness.She turned to face me, her expression curious. "What is it, Eden?" I ran a hand through my hair, gathering my thoughts. "Well, Mom, I've decided to get engaged to Cassandra. I'm trying to fix the engagement banquet next week.” My mother's face drained of color, her lips th

Chapter 9

CASSANDRA'S POV~The world around me fell silent, the afternoon air heavy with tension. I could practically feel the disdainful stares of the wealthy residents, watching this scene unfold with curiosity and disdain. My uncle was blind, a madman. How could he not see that this luxury was beyond me?"You need to leave," I said, my voice shaking. "We can talk about this another time, but you need to go now."He sneered at me, disgust coloring his face. "You think I'm a fool? I'm not leaving until I get what's mine!"He turned to the thugs, barking orders like a rabid dog. "Tear down that gate! Get inside that villa and take everything that's not nailed down!"Horror coursed through me as the men obeyed without question, their blows shaking the gate with each strike. My mother had locked them out, but they weren't going to let that stop them."Stop!" I screamed, lunging for my uncle. "This isn't our villa! You're going to get us arrested!"But he shoved me away, his eyes alight with fury

Chapter 10

CASSANDRA'S POV~I felt Adriano’s gaze upon me, intense and piercing. My heart began to race as I watched him fiddle with his shirt button, a silent struggle between his desire to contain his temper and perhaps the desire to strangle me for brazenly telling him I was about to wed another man. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, too close, and I instinctively pulled back, but he was quick to trap me, our faces mere inches apart.“That boyfriend of yours is a leech,” Adriano sneered, his voice dripping with venom. “Living off your money, using your resources to start his pathetic little business. He’s not a man, he’s a parasite, and he doesn’t deserve a woman like you.”Shock coursed through my body as I froze in place. How could Adriano possibly know about the money I’d lent to Eden? It was a small sum, nothing to be ashamed of, but the fact that he knew about it made me realize that he’d been stalking me, watching me, knowing things about me that I had never shared with him.Fury surged w
