Tahereh Mafi

Attending the ten-year high school reunion for the cheerleading squad and football team, I arrived in an old domestic Ford, while the parking lot was filled with Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maybachs, and even a gold Bugatti. It was as if I were the only relic from another era. The moment I stepped out of my car, a former classmate, whose name I could no longer remember, looked at me with a sneer. “Well, if it isn’t the coach’s pet. How is it that after all these years, you’re still driving this beat-up old Ford?” “This thing looks like it belongs in a scrapyard from the last century!” During dinner, everyone gathered around the Bugatti owner, raising their glasses in celebration, while I was left ignored at the side. Only the cheerleading assistant sat next to me, raising a glass in my direction with a comforting smile. “Don’t let it get to you. Your car may be old, but I believe you’ll be driving a luxury car one day.” I let a small smirk curl at the corner of my lips and lowered my voice. “This car may look unimpressive, but it’s been fully upgraded with a carbon fiber body. It’s already worth over half a million dollars. Too bad, none of you even recognized its true value.”

Arora Williams just moved away from her abusive husband with her little daughter Rosemary (Rosy). She got a working for the famous rich Billionaire also known in the underworld as the Mafia boss. What happens next? Find out on Mafia boss...

Elysia Moretti thought her life couldn’t get worse—until she slept with a man and the same night the Mafia King himself walked into her home. Adrian Valente, cold-blooded ruler of the underground and the most feared man in the city, comes for one thing:the fifty million dollars her father stole from him. With her father missing and enemies circling, Elysia has only two choices: death… or marriage to the devil who wants to own her. Adrian makes it clear from the start — He doesn’t share. He doesn’t forgive. And he never lets go of what’s his. Dragged into his world of violence, power, and obsession, Elysia becomes the wife of the most ruthless mafia boss alive. But Adrian is not what she expected. He’s cruel to the world, yet gentle with her. He kills without blinking, yet shields her with his own life. And the more she tries to run, the tighter his hold becomes. But when she learns a devastating secret—that Adrian was the reason her father fled— everything shatters. She escapes his mansion… only to fall into the hands of a rival mafia who wants to use her as a weapon against him. And Adrian? He burns the city to find her.His obsession becomes feral. His darkness becomes uncontrollable. Because the Mafia King can survive betrayal. He can survive war. But he will never survive losing her. “Run all you want, Elysia. I’ll still find you. I’ll always find you—because you’re not my wife by choice. You’re my wife by fate.” When love becomes war, when loyalty becomes death, and when desire becomes obsession— What's left is a bond stronger than blood.

I stepped closer. Close enough to smell his cologne—cedarwood, leather, and power. My hand moved. Smooth, practiced. The pistol slide from under the apron into my palm. I raised it fast. But before I could pull the trigger— BANG. Not my shot. A scream tore through the restaurant as another man launched himself toward Romano’s table, blade flashing. Another assassin. What the hell— Romano didn’t flinch. He shoved the table forward, knocking the attacker off balance. The blade scraped across wood, not skin. I ducked instinctively as the room erupted into chaos. Gunfire cracked. Glass exploded. People screamed and dove for cover. “Get him out—NOW!” one of the guards barked. I aimed for the second attacker. Didn’t even hesitate. One shot—head. Gone. The guard saw me. Confusion flashed in his eyes. Then rage. I ran. I weaved between overturned chairs, plates, and screaming bodies. The smell of blood was real now, thick in the air. One of the guards grabbed me. I slammed my elbow into his ribs, twisted, and brought the butt of my gun down on his skull. He dropped like a sack of bricks. Out. I had to get out. My boots pounded the floor as I tore through the narrow hallway. But then— “Elisa.” His voice stopped me cold. I turned. Antonio Romano stood in the middle of the carnage, suit untouched, blood spattered behind him like art. His eyes were on me. And he was smiling. It was darker. Slower. Like a hunter seeing something worth chasing. Somehow, he knew who I was. “Interesting,” he said softly, tilting his head. “They sent you.” I didn’t answer. I ran. But that voice followed me. He knew my name. And he let me go. This wasn’t over. It had just begun.

He slammed her back against the closed door making her grit her teeth as she glared at him. “Camellia,” his voice was dripping with controlled fury yet that endearment rolled off his tongue in a raspy growl. “I don’t like other men touching you,” he grumbled, grabbing her jaw, his fingers firmly pressing into her cheeks as he made her hazel eyes look into his dark greys. “I’m not yours,” she said with gathered-up bravado though his intimidating presence made her feel so timid. He leaned closer as her eyes fell on the camellia flower that was inked on his neck. His hot breath tickled her lips as his intense stare lingered on her lips. “You’re mine, Camellia. Mine!” With a low growl, he crashed his lips on hers. DARK ROMANCE!

Il a enlevé la mauvaise Moretti… et maintenant, il ne peut plus la laisser partir. Matteo Romano, connu sous le nom de roi fantôme, voulait l’héritière dorée de la famille Moretti. À la place, il a eu Lexi, la fille négligée aux mots tranchants et à l’audace malsaine face à la mort. Elle n’est pas l’otage qui rampe et supplie. Elle défie Matteo à chaque instant, rit de ses jeux et le tente de briser toutes ses règles. Mais plus elle restait, plus cela devenait dangereux pour le roi fantôme, dont le levier commençait à réchauffer le cœur glacé. Il voulait la briser… mais le jeu a changé, et dans une ville pleine d’ennemis, certains veulent la mort de Lexi autant que Matteo a besoin d’elle vivante. Quand un tueur à gages fait une offre indécente, que des amants du passé refont surface et que les familles se retournent contre le roi fantôme intrépide, la possession se transforme en obsession… et l’obsession en guerre. Matteo ne la laissera jamais partir vivante, et Lexi préférerait brûler dans le feu de leur obsession que respirer l’air de la liberté.

"You know, the only thing that hurts about your body is the part that it had to be another man who broke your virginity."
