Leo Tolstoy Quotes

SOLD to the highest bidder. Her body. Her freedom. Her future. Lena Lynx Grey never imagined her life would be reduced to a number on a ruthless auction block. Shackled by a debt she never owed and haunted by a past filled with pain, she’s thrust into the hands of the most dangerous man in the room—Leonardo Castelli, a cold, powerful Mafia lord with secrets buried as deep as his scars. He offers her one way out: a contract marriage. Protection in exchange for obedience. Safety in exchange for silence. Freedom… for a price. But surviving Leo’s world comes with its own kind of torment. She was his bargain, now she's his obsession. In this deadly game of lust and power, love might be the most dangerous deal of all.

“So turns out Daddy Dearest didn’t just screw us over emotionally,” Luca muttered. “He was busy committing financial crimes too.” No one said anything. Not even Leo. Luca went on… “I should’ve known. The old fool always had something cooking. Even in his grave, the man’s stirring the damn pot.” He chuckled bitterly, standing up and walking to the bar. “Other fathers leave mansions, yachts, inheritance,” Luca poured a shot of whiskey, “that bastard leaves lawsuits, scandals, and a lovely side dish of FBI raids.” He downed the shot, smacking the glass on the counter. “Old fool left nothing but chaos.” Still, no one said a word. Luca leaned back against the counter and sneered. “What? Nobody gonna say anything?" After the death of billionaire tycoon Robert Van Driscoll, his final will leaves behind chaos. His three estranged sons—Leo, Jace, and Luca—must run the family company together for one year or lose everything. Leo feels betrayed after dedicating his life to the business. Jace wants nothing to do with the family. And Luca? He just wants to be free. They clash, resist, and nearly walk away. But when outside enemies begin to threaten the empire, the brothers have no choice but to unite. As they fight for control, each of them faces personal battles—old wounds, painful sacrifices, and unexpected love. Leo is haunted by a past relationship he never truly let go. Jace finds himself drawn to a woman who challenges everything he’s buried. And Luca? He falls for someone who refuses to be tamed. In the end, it’s not just about saving the company... it’s about healing, brotherhood, and risking everything for the kind of love that refuses to be bought. Written by: Terasomdi || Ogwu Kosiso
