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. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him, because that would be stupid, right?

Sa araw-araw ng kanilang pagsasama, walang panahon na hindi nila ipinakita sa isa’t-isa ang lantarang pagkadisguto. Ngunit sa likod ng kaniyang di maintindihang ‘di pagkakaunawaan ay nakakubli ang isang damdaming di maipaliwanag. Damdamin na lumukob sa kanyang buong pagkatao na kailanman ay hindi matutugunan. Sapagkat, pinagmamay-ari niya man ang buong pagkatao nito, hindi naman ang puso. Sa dumaang panahon ay tuluyan na ring nagbago at naglaho ang dating Francis na kilala niya- total opposite na ito ngayun lalo pat magkakaanak na sila. Ngunit, sadya yatang mailap sa kanya ang tadhana. Ang dagling kaligayahan ay naglaho ng bumalik sa buhay nila ang babaeng iniirog, hanggang sa nakunan siya. Ang minsay naging maalab na damdamin ay napalitan na ng ga-lawak na nagyeyelong lawa. Ang minsa’y matamis na mga salita ay naging isang parang nakalalasong damu na namiminsala sa gitna ng nangingintong hardin. Nakaya pa kaya niyang panindigan ang kasabihang “Love pulls stronger than of pain and hatred”? Paanu nga ba iyon kung sukdulang sakit na ang iyong naranasan, pikit mata na lang ba? Tunghayan natin ang kwentong magpapa-iyak at magpapaibig sa atin, kwento ng makabagong henerasyun na nagapos sa napaglumaan nang pangako ng kahapon.

Today was supposed to be my wedding day. The D-day, the big day—whatever people liked to call it. For me, it was meant to be the happiest day of my life. Our life. But to the likes of me, happiness was nothing but a cruel illusion. The groom, Clyde Monroe, wasn’t waiting for me at the altar. Instead, the ruthless, calculating billionaire—known for his icy demeanor and unmatched power—was on one knee before someone else. Someone who was supposed to be dead. His ex-girlfriend. As the truth unraveled, so did the fragile threads of the life we were building. Betrayal, grief, humiliation—I felt it all. Clyde’s haunted past, one I had only glimpsed, was now ripping apart the fragile illusion of the bond I thought we shared. The truth? I was nothing more than a pawn, a random babymaker caught in a game I never signed up to play. My name is Margaux Olsen, and I am his unwanted bride.
