Novel & Cerita Bride Of Blood

It is recommended to read Bound by Blood and Wrath before embarking on this next journey of the Vittori family. Sent to Briarwood, Pennsylvania, to establish a new seat of power for the Vittori Crime Family, Saint Vittori is tasked by his father, Dominic, with stepping out of the shadows after two decades of quiet survival. To secure his position, Saint is expected to marry strategically—choosing a woman who can strengthen the family’s influence. Instead, he falls in love with someone who offers no power, no connections, and everything he was warned against. When her unknowing betrayal shatters his trust and she later reveals she is pregnant, Saint is bound by ironclad family law: no Vittori heir will be born a bastard, and no Vittori marriage will end in divorce. Forced into a union forged by duty rather than certainty, Saint tightens his grip on Briarwood just as old enemies resurface. An attack by the Han family—ghosts from Dominic’s violent past—forces Saint to act decisively or be seen as weak. Alongside his loyal best friend, Wilder, he wages a brutal campaign to cleanse Briarwood, expanding into legitimate enterprises while silencing threats both criminal and political. As Senator Bryce Winthorpe learns too late, Saint Vittori always moves with a plan. Through bloodshed, loss, and calculated violence, Saint carves his place among Pennsylvania’s elite—knowing that every inch of power comes at a cost, and the Vittori family always collects in blood.

Before anything else could happen, I stood up from squatting in front of him and walked toward my work table. My hands were shaking, but I tried not to show it. "Now you have time to listen to my proposal," I said firmly, trying to sound confident even though my heart was racing. I picked up the document I had placed there earlier—a simple sheet of paper, but one that could change everything. I held it up for him to see. Yes, kidnapping him had been desperate. But what I was about to offer? Even more so. "You just have to sign this marriage contract," I told him. "If we get married, I can claim my inheritance, solve my problem, and then we’ll let you go." He raised an eyebrow, amused. “And what’s in it for me? I don’t gain anything here. Why should I let you manipulate my life like that?” I clenched my fists. "You’re my hostage! Your freedom depends on me. You have no choice but to do what I say!" I snapped, voice rising with frustration. As soon as I said it, regret washed over me. I sounded like a child throwing a tantrum, and I saw it in his eyes—disappointment. Disgust. “I already have a fiancée, Kourtney. We’re getting married soon. I can’t marry you,” he said with finality. Of course I knew. I knew everything about him. I kept tabs on his life not because I wanted to, but because I had to. “I love her,” he continued. “And if I ever get married, it’s going to be with the woman I love. That’s Kim.” I bit my lower lip to stop the trembling. I was humiliated… but worse, I was heartbroken.

But here she is, stepping into my life, challenging everything I’ve worked for. She doesn’t belong in my world, yet she makes it harder to push her away. I’ve lived in shadows long enough to know better, but something about her light makes me question everything. Still, the world I live in is too dangerous, and trust is a luxury I can’t afford. Isabella Pov: I never imagined this life. Married to a man who is more scarred than I could have ever known, his world of darkness and danger closing in every day. I didn’t sign up for this, yet here I am, holding my ground. Nicolas might think I’m naive, but I see the man behind the mask. He doesn’t know how to love, but I refuse to let that stop me. I won’t run, even if I’m constantly surrounded by threats and lies. This world doesn’t scare me, but what Nicolas won’t let me see—his pain, his demons—that’s what I’m fighting to understand. I didn’t come into this to save him, but maybe it’s time he lets me in.

When I stumbled into a Mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Damian was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Ronan, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition to marry him or lose my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary.
