Antonym Loyal

Isabella Marino has spent her life toeing the line between duty and desire, torn between her family’s expectations and her dream of freedom. When her father arranges her marriage to Leonard Ricci, the most powerful and ruthless mafia boss in Italy, she’s thrust into a world of power, violence, and deception. She knows Leonard’s reputation—a man feared by his enemies, respected by his allies, and untouchable in the criminal underworld. But as their marriage forces them into each other’s lives, Isabella soon discovers the man behind the ruthless façade—a man scarred by betrayal, driven by loyalty, and desperate to protect the empire he’s built. In the shadowy world of mafia politics, where trust is a rare commodity and enemies lurk at every corner, Isabella and Leonard must navigate a dangerous game of power and survival. As secrets unravel and bloodlines are tested, Isabella faces an impossible choice: follow her heart and risk everything, or remain loyal to a family that sees her as a pawn in their game. But Leonard has his own battles to fight, and in a world where love is a dangerous weakness, the only thing more treacherous than their enemies is the growing connection between them. Power. Betrayal. Love. When the stakes are life or death, can two souls caught in the crossfire find a way to save each other, or will they be torn apart by the very forces that brought them together?

But before he can take his first real breath of happiness, a freak accident claims his life.

Blurb: Love was supposed to be unconditional but for me, it came with conditions. After three years of marriage to Dominic Rugh, I thought respect was the least I deserved. Instead, I was mocked, belittled and punished for being infertile. I wasn't barren, and I never stopped trying. And on the very day I discovered I was finally pregnant, I returned home to find Dominic in bed with my stepsister. My heart shattered, and my marriage collapsed. They still wouldn't let me go, even though I had nowhere to run to. They punished me cruelly for every small mistake and their mistreatments led to my death and the death of my unborn baby. At least, that's what they thought. Because when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer the woman they tortured–I was reborn. And in this new life, three powerful billionaire men want me and loved me more than Dominic ever could. But my heart has only room for one thing–revenge. Dominic won't see me coming, and I won't stop until he understands what it's like to be destroyed. However, with the devotion of these men around me, I wonder if I can stay loyal to my revenge or let myself be loved.

Caius Vannister, despite his reputation as one of the most eligible bachelors of the country, was a one-woman-man kind of guy. He had imposed strict rules upon himself, and that is to be loyal to just one woman. He laid no woman in his bed for years, which is why he knew he was in trouble when he felt the heat and the beast awakened at the sight of the drunk Murphy who one night, accidentally barged on his VIP room. Having tasted the sweet scent and pleasure he didn't know existed, he desperately searched for the lady, who fortunately left her business card, the morning he woke up alone. Realizing that the lady was closely acquainted with his cousin, Casper and his wife, a playful smirk was painted on his lips. "Architect Murphy Jayden…you're mine…” As Murphy tried to shoo him away, he was adamant to claim the lips, the body, and the heart of the lady who, from the start, stole his. Caius vowed to know everything about her to plan his next steps, that his vast connection was put to the test when he found no single information about her, apart from what he knew from Casper. Pondering about it for far too long, he could only utter one thing... "Who are you truly, milady?”
