“I now pronounce you as a husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!” The priest announced and I froze. I knew I was cursed the moment this blood oath was taken which bound me to hell, the hell of this Sinner. My eyelids raised to see the ugly creation of god. My husband! Vladimir Sokolov! His rugged face carved with uncountable ugly marks stung my slow beating heart. His hazel green eyes held a satisfied dark shadow as He pulled me close, raised my chin and whispered coldly, “From this very moment, you share the crown of Bratva’s pakhan. Prepare yourself to bear its weight, Babochka. Because I own your existence now!” He slammed his cold lips on my trembling ones, punishing me with a brutal kiss. Tears pricked my eyes with disgust but I tolerated his touch for the sake of my family. My eyes followed the part of the audience, Russians, who burst into cheers while the other party, Italians, looked at me with remorse and pitiful gazes.

Pertama, aku akan menjaukan Kenzie dari jangkauanmu, kedua, aku akan membuat Romeo ayahmu di deportasi, ketiga, aku akan menjual dirimu ke rumah bordil!"

But it’s not the case for all - falling in love can be a BLISSFUL experience for many but a PAINFUL memory to some. Faith Anderson and Marco Matthews are happy and very much in love with each other. She doesn’t have an idea that he’s the heir to Matthews Group, one of the most successful companies in New York.

Forcing herself to fit into someone’s world isn’t her thing. She won’t go low just to please other people who she knows that whatever she does - will never be proud of. But did she do the right thing to let go because she was hurting or she was doomed for not staying and trusting him? And here we realize that to LOVE is really to SACRIFICE.
