Tenía ocho meses de embarazo y estaba en una gala benéfica con mi esposo, Don Massimo, cuando una familia rival nos atacó. La multitud entró en pánico. Fui empujada al suelo con fuerza. Había sangre por todas partes. Massimo perdió la cabeza, gritando por médicos, desesperado por salvar a mi bebé. Pero cuando desperté, se habían ido. Ambos. Sin bebé y sin Massimo. Recordé los disparos, a Massimo protegiéndome con su cuerpo. Un terror frío me invadió. Me arrastré hasta una silla de ruedas y recorrí el pasillo a toda prisa. Fue entonces cuando los escuché: a Massimo y al doctor. —Don, lo siento. Hicimos todo lo que pudimos. El bebé… no lo logró. Las lágrimas rodaron por mi rostro. Habían matado a mi bebé. La familia rival había matado a mi hijo. Pero sus siguientes palabras destrozaron mi mundo. —Solo había un equipo médico. Tuve que elegir. Bianca… ella también estaba esperando un hijo mío. Massimo suspiró y luego dio la orden. —Nadie se lo dirá a Arabella. Ella criará al hijo de Bianca como si fuera suyo. Él será mi único heredero. Me llevé una mano a la boca, con la visión borrosa por las lágrimas mientras me alejaba. El hombre que amaba era una mentira. Bien. Si quiere una guerra, la tendrá.

Eu era a principal conselheira da Família Falcone. O cérebro deles. E hoje, eu estava indo embora — entregando os registros de todos os negócios legítimos que eu administrava e cortando meu último laço. Meu protegido não conseguia entender. — Você é o futuro desta Família, Aurelia. Não pode simplesmente ir embora. Balancei a cabeça com um sorriso amargo. Eles não sabiam. Eu estava secretamente casada com o Don, Vittorio Falcone, há três anos. Eu achava que minha aparência, minha inteligência e tudo o que eu havia oferecido a ele seriam suficientes para conquistar todo o seu amor. Uma execução nas docas, três meses atrás, me mostrou a verdade. Levei treze tiros. Era uma emergência. Eu precisava do cirurgião da família — o que exigia uma ordem direta de Vittorio. Liguei para ele mais de uma dúzia de vezes. Mas quando ele finalmente atendeu, tudo o que ouvi foi uma voz suave e ofegante do outro lado. — Vittorio, ainda não cortamos meu bolo de aniversário. Você pode segurar minha mão e cortar comigo? Aquela voz. Minha melhor amiga. A mulher por quem Vittorio já tinha se apaixonado. Carina. No esconderijo, fraca pela perda de sangue, retirei eu mesma a bala e mandei um dos meus homens me levar às pressas para uma clínica da família. Pouco antes de me levarem para a sala de cirurgia, Vittorio invadiu o lugar — carregando Carina. Era uma torção no tornozelo. Ela precisava de um médico. Agora. Meu cirurgião foi levado embora. Os antibióticos chegaram tarde demais. O ferimento infeccionou. Eu lutei pela minha vida por uma semana. Quando acordei, encarei meu celular. Nem uma única mensagem. As lágrimas finalmente vieram. Eu entendi. Eu era apenas a mulher com quem ele foi forçado a se casar depois de ser drogado e de dormir comigo. Um escândalo evitado. Tudo o que importava para ele era o meu valor e a reputação dele. E eu? A princesa secreta da Família Rossi, que havia aberto mão de tudo para construir o império dele. Tudo por nada. Então eu preparei quatro presentes de despedida. Uma celebração da nossa destruição mútua. E então ele nunca mais me veria.

J'étais enceinte de huit mois. J'assistais à un gala de charité avec mon mari, le Don Massimo, lorsqu'une famille rivale nous a attaqués. La foule a paniqué. On m'a violemment bousculée et je suis tombée au sol. Du sang partout. Massimo a complètement perdu la raison, criant pour appeler des médecins, désespéré de sauver mon bébé. Mais lorsque je me suis réveillée, ils avaient disparu tous les deux. Plus de bébé, plus de Massimo. Je me souvenais des coups de feu, de Massimo qui me protégeait de son corps. Une peur glaciale m'a envahie. Je me suis hissée dans un fauteuil roulant et me suis précipitée dans le couloir. C'est alors que je les ai entendus — Massimo et le médecin. « Monsieur, je suis désolé. Nous avons fait tout ce que nous pouvions. Le bébé… il n'a pas survécu », a-t-il murmuré. Les larmes ont coulé sur mon visage. Ils avaient tué mon bébé. La famille rivale avait tué mon bébé. Mais les paroles suivantes de Massimo ont complètement brisé mon monde. « Il n'y avait qu'une seule équipe médicale. J'ai dû faire un choix. Bianca… elle portait aussi mon enfant », a-t-il dit d'une voix lourde. Massimo a soupiré, puis a donné son ordre. « Personne ne doit rien dire à Arabella. Elle élèvera l'enfant de Bianca comme le sien. Il sera mon unique héritier », a-t-il déclaré. J'ai plaqué une main sur ma bouche, la vue brouillée par les larmes, avant de me détourner. L'homme que j'avais aimé n'était qu'un mensonge. Très bien. S'il voulait une guerre, il l'aurait.

I never thought I would see him again, but I did. Everything was sparks and untamed fire between us, even more than before. But he wasn't the same man I knew all those years ago. Secrets, lies, deceit, resentment, and revenge dirtied our once-beautiful love story until it was beyond fixing. His love cut me deep, bleeding me dry. He drained me of my love and left me with nothing to offer someone else. How can someone who hurts you so deeply be the one you love so much? His love was like a wildfire, consuming me from the inside out, making me feel more alive than I'd ever felt. But I couldn't have predicted how much Markos hated and loved me at the same time. Markos didn't want to adore me, he wanted to hurt me. And the worst part was I would have rather had him that way than not at all. He was a billionaire who could have any woman he wanted, but he chose me, a scorned woman. What we couldn't have predicted was how catastrophic and chaotic our love would be. Would we fight the odds or would we end up hurting one another beyond repair?

" You wish it was you screaming my name, don't you? " He asked while locking me in place with his gaze. “ I don’t know what you're talking about.” I defended. I clutched the wall behind me as he moved closer with his hand on the door above my head. Our bodies were inches apart and it was getting harder to concentrate because of his bare chest that was muscular and covered with ink. " Tell me principessa, do you think of me when you trail your fingers down your stomach and between your thighs? Do you think of me as you work yourself trying to reach the brick of euphoria? Do you imagine it's my fingers as you work faster to ease the ache between your thighs? Do you scream my name as your walls clench around your digits and your eyes roll to the back of your head when you ? " " you! " I screamed, ignoring the loud thumping of my heart against my chest. " You see, I know girls like you. You've been sheltered all your life and you crave some rebellion. Tattoos, muscular, bad boy, and an Italian accent are your undoing, right? That's all it takes to have you drooling and fawning. I'm I right, principessa? " “ You know nothing about me! " I screamed and he chuckled. “ Oh, but I do. I can smell your arousal begging me to pin you to this wall and show just how much I can make your weep for me. " He whispered in my ear. She's fire and he's ice. Sicily holds many secrets but is Brianna ready for the ones Nikolai has to offer? A life of crime, gunfire, and passion is not what she signed up for. Can she handle the enigma that is Nikolai?

EXCERPT. "This cock was the reason you killed my wife, now ride it till it bruises you," Lucien hissed as he tightened his hold around my neck. "You are a bad girl Bambina mia, how can your mouth be watering for my dick?" Don Luciano, my father-in-law, chuckled as he gently rubbed my bruised lips. ...... ......
