The moment you saw my face, you lost your freedom. Now, you only have two choices, Be my wife... or be a corpse." — Kalix Valerio Si Isla Moretti ay isang simpleng pastry chef na ang tanging pangarap ay mapalago ang kanyang maliit na bakery. Ngunit ang tahimik niyang buhay ay magugulo nang aksidente siyang makapasok sa isang hotel suite na pagmamay-ari ni Kalix Valerio, ang kinatatakutang “Reaper” ng underworld. Nakita ni Isla ang isang bagay na hindi dapat makita ng kahit na sino. Sa mundo ng Mafia, ang mga saksi ay pinatatahimik... permanenteng pinatatahimik. Ngunit sa halip na tapusin ang buhay ni Isla, isang mapanganib na deal ang inalok ni Kalix. Dahil sa gulo sa loob ng kanyang organisasyon at ang banta ng pag-agaw sa kanyang posisyon, kailangan ni Kalix ng isang alibi, isang asawang magsisilbing “front” niya sa harap ng kanyang mga kaaway. Ang kundisyon? Magpapanggap si Isla na asawa ni Kalix sa loob ng anim na buwan. Kapalit nito ay ang kanyang kaligtasan at ang pondo para sa kanyang pangarap. Mabubuhay kaya si Isla sa isang mansyong puno ng baril at sikreto? O magagawa niyang paamuhin ang isang demonyo na ang tanging alam ay pumatay? Sa mundong puno ng traydoran, matutuklasan ni Kalix na ang pinakamalakas niyang kalaban ay ang sarili niyang puso na unti-unting sumusuko sa kanyang inosenteng asawa. ﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ Welcome to the dark, seductive world of The Mafia King’s Deadly Bargain.
