Novel Web Romance & Cerita Mafia Affair Action

I was eighteen when they crowned me heir to the Waldorf empire. I was eighteen when the Mad Devil, or the Bloody Devil, or whatever he's called, ruined me. And by he, I mean Flavian Waldorf. My dearest step-uncle. My family's deadliest weapon. The one man who was never supposed to look at me, and the only one I've never forgotten. I built my reputation on being cold. I learned to rule, to lie, to scheme, and to bury every soft thing about me. I was one step from the throne, and I didn't need anyone. Then, eight years later, he came home. More dangerous than I ever imagined. Now he wants my submission. My loyalty. To him, I'm just the obstacle standing between him and his brother's throne. He wants me in ways he would never admit. And I want him dead. Or maybe I just want him...

Framed by her husband's mistress and abandoned in a prison cell, Bella is left to die—stabbed in the dark, betrayed by everyone she once loved. But a mysterious man saves her, pulling her from the brink of death. Three years later, she returns as a cold, calculative woman, determined to destroy the man who cast her aside. But when he traps her against the wall, his breath hot against her skin, her carefully built walls begin to crack. "I will never let you go again. You’ll forever be mine, Bella."

You were nothing but a placeholder until the real heiress returned." Those were the last words Vivian heard from her fiancé before he humiliated her on their wedding day. She thought losing her groom was the worst thing that could happen. She was wrong. To cover his massive gambling debts, her ex-fiancé did the unthinkable. He sold her debt to the city's most feared man. Julian Thorne. The Billionaire. The Monster. The King of the Underworld. Vivian expects death. Instead, Julian offers her a diamond ring and a contract. "Marry me," he commands. "Be the perfect wife in public. And in private, I will give you the power to crush everyone who hurt you." It was supposed to be a cold transaction. A fake marriage for revenge. But Julian Thorne is possessive, dark, and dangerously seductive. Vivian didn't plan on falling for the villain of her story. And she certainly didn't expect the secret he was hiding one that changes everything.
