She was promised to the devil but she fell in love with the weapon meant to guard her. Arranged to marry the most ruthless mafia don in the city, Serafina learns early that obedience is the price of survival. Luca De Santis doesn’t love, he owns. And she is his most valuable possession. Inside an empire built on blood, fear, and unbreakable loyalty, there is only one man who never looks at her like property. Matteo De Santis. Luca’s cousin. His enforcer. His shadow. Falling in love with him is forbidden. Being discovered means death. As loyalty fractures and betrayal ignites, Serafina is forced to choose: remain a silent bride to a monster or rise beside the man willing to burn the empire for her. In a world where love is treason, survival demands rebellion.

After seven years of marriage, my wife had rarely asked me to accompany her back to her parents' home. She always said she didn't want me stepping into that cramped, crowded little house and feeling wronged. This year, during the New Year, I happened to be in the city where my in-laws lived for a business trip. By chance, I came across a local video online. It was posted by a resident of an upscale neighborhood. "Mom, Dad, my beloved wife and son—thank you for giving an orphan like me a complete and happy life." The elderly couple in the video were dressed in the same high-end outfits I had bought for my in-laws. I thought of how frugal they had always been, how they lived simply and spared every penny. A decision formed in my mind: tomorrow, I would buy them a place in that very neighborhood, in their name, so they could enjoy a comfortable retirement. It would be my small act of filial piety. But the next day, the moment I stepped into the residential complex, I saw my in-laws coming downstairs—with my wife and a child. Could it be that my wife had secretly bought them an apartment? I pressed my lips together, about to step forward, when a man rushed over and caught my father-in-law just as he nearly stumbled. "Dad, careful now." My footsteps froze. My wife was an only child. I had never heard of any foster relatives. He called my father-in-law "Dad." Then… who was I?

Ils se sont aimés pendant huit ans. Pour Noah Lambert, Delphine Colin est passée de la femme idéalisée qu'il gardait au fond du cœur à une présence dont il avait hâte de se débarrasser. Pendant trois ans, elle a fait des efforts, jusqu'à ce que la dernière parcelle de ses sentiments s'épuise. Delphine a alors perdu toute illusion et elle est partie. Le jour de la rupture, Noah a ricané : « Delphine, j'attends que tu viennes me supplier de nous remettre ensemble. » Mais, à force d'attendre, ce qu'il a appris, ça a été la nouvelle du mariage de Delphine. Fou de rage, il a composé son numéro : « Tu as assez fait de scandales ? » À l'autre bout du fil, une voix grave d'homme a répondu : « Monsieur Lambert, ma fiancée est sous la douche, elle ne peut pas répondre à votre appel. » Noah a ricané et a raccroché aussitôt, persuadé que ce n'était qu'une stratégie de Delphine pour le faire tourner en bourrique. Jusqu'au jour du mariage de Delphine. Lorsqu'il l'a vue, vêtue d'une robe blanche, tenant son bouquet et avançant vers un autre homme, il a compris enfin : Delphine ne voulait vraiment plus de lui. Comme un fou, il s'est précipité devant elle : « Delphine, je sais que j'ai eu tort. Ne te marie pas avec un autre, d'accord ? » Delphine a soulevé sa jupe en passant devant lui : « Monsieur Lambert, tu n'avais pas dit que toi et Anne étiez faits l'un pour l'autre ? Alors, pourquoi venir t'agenouiller à mon mariage ? »

He needs a wife. NOW. With his hockey season on the line, he can’t afford any distractions. And a dating reality show is one huge distraction. But there's a surefire way to get out of this dating show contract. All he has to do now is get married. Even with a reputation like him–the Scottish bad boy of hockey–I'm confident I can find someone to play Mrs. Taylor Savage for a year. Like Becca Barnes. The one who got away. Too bad she hates me. But that's why she’s perfect for this arrangement. When her contract is dissolved. She gets the bakery of her dreams. Win-Win. She just has to live with me and pretend she loves me in public for a year. No strings. No touching (unless there’s a camera). No messy heartbreak. It’s sure to be a challenge because with the way I crave her, keeping my hands to myself might be harder than I intended. But he can handle the matter. Being married to her will be easy. As long as he doesn't fall in love with her along the way.

She's craving for him and he wants her too. Jason Duncan and Lucy Smith are childhood sweethearts who later got seperated due to relocations ,however they meet again in America as boss and secretary and also as assassin and targeted.

Pernikahan politik adalah hal biasa di keluarga elit. Namun Selene Cromwell tak pernah menyangka, ia yang akan dipilih sebagai tunangan Leonard Romano, CEO Romano Engineering Group. Bukan karena perusahaannya bangkrut. Bukan pula karena paksaan. Melainkan karena Leonard justru memilih Selene dibandingkan adiknya, Rosette, yang hidup di dunia sosialita. Awalnya, Selene kira Leonard akan sama seperti laki-laki berkuasa pada umumnya, yang hanya menginginkan 'istri pajangan', tetapi... “Selene, kau tunanganku. Aku berhak mengkhawatirkanmu.” “Mari kita bicara dengan kepala dingin. Aku tidak ingin tidur saat kau masih marah padaku.” “…Moonlight, jangan tinggalkan aku.” Selene tidak mengerti kapan hubungan ini berubah dari kontrak menjadi sesuatu yang lebih berbahaya. Namun satu hal pasti. Ia tidak akan menolak perhatian suami tampan ini!

I specifically accompany my wife, Sophie Caldwell, to visit her family during the holidays. My mother-in-law, Margaret Jackson, brings over a basket of apples. Then, she says in a half-teasing manner, "These apples are meant for the Jacksons. Once you've had your apple, you'll be blessed with a life as sweet as these apples. By the way, outsiders aren't allowed to take the apples." Everyone begins fighting for the apples happily. So, I grab an apple of my own too. The next thing I know, the atmosphere in the living room goes eerily quiet. Sophie drags me to a corner and starts berating me. "Are you so poor that you can't even afford to buy your own apple? Must you steal apples from my family? "Didn't you hear my mom saying that outsiders aren't allowed to take the apples? Why did you even take one from the basket? "Thanks to you, now Julius doesn't have an apple!" I look around my surroundings. It turns out that there are only eight apples in total, while we have nine people sitting in the living room. So the "outsider" she was talking about is me. I decide to hand the apple over to Sophie's godbrother, Julius Sterling. Then, I call my dad on the phone. "Dad, you don't have to bring the holiday gifts over now."

The day I went to try on my wedding suit, a stranger stormed into the VIP fitting room and drove a knife into my gut. "Sleeping with my woman, and you dare wear a suit this expensive?" He ripped my shirt into ribbons with a wild grin and threw sulfuric acid straight at me. The knife was buried deep in my abdomen. Pain ripped through me as I collapsed. He yanked my hair, forcing my head up. "Susan Lefebvre is my wife. What the hell are you? Just some filthy side piece hiding in the shadows!" Blood dripped from my fingertips as the truth sank in. The fiancée I'd loved for seven years had been cheating on me all along. "What are you staring at?" He sneered. "Even if I kill you, no one can touch me. My wife runs this city!" Watching that arrogant face twist in triumph, I took out my phone with a trembling, blood-soaked hand and dialed my sister. "Allison," I said, my voice cold and calm. "Come pick me up at the bridal salon. And tell the Lefebvres that the engagement is off."
