Would he sacrifice everything he has for her? Or let the enemy ruin the plan he has on marrying her.

“But you…” he said, looking passionately into her eyes. “You could burn down the entire mafia until it’s nothing but charred rubble, and I would crawl over the embers with glee, so long as I could worship at your feet.” “If that’s love, then yes, I love you.” He lifts a shoulder. “I can’t feel anything but love for you.” Arya was forced into a marriage she never wanted to Leonardo, a powerful mafia boss whose name alone commands fear. Cold, ruthless, and merciless, he rules an empire of danger and secrets. Arya, tender-hearted, kind, and fiercely loyal, tries to resist him. Falling in love with a man like Leonardo is impossible… until she discovers that even the coldest heart has a weakness, and his might just be her. But in a world where enemies lurk in the shadows and betrayal can strike at any moment, love may come at a deadly cost. Will the reluctant mafia bride risk everything for love, or will her union remain trapped in fear and duty?

After several failures, he finally stumbled upon her, a feisty girl who trained all her life to be his bride. When he saw her, he didn’t have the guts to kill her as planned, the moon goddess had played a cruel joke on him, making him feel twice the bond between them. But her, she felt nothing for him but hatred. Hatred, he had never seen in the eyes of any man, Hatred that makes her want to kill him. Will he be able to make his Little Doll look past her hatred for him and love him despite her only mission to kill him? or will he have another mate’s blood on his hands?

On the day of my wedding, my fiance, Oliver Parker, asks me to take off my wedding gown. He wants to let his childhood friend, Angela Summers, be the bride instead. In helplessness, he tries to explain, "Angela has leukemia. Her dying wish is to be a bride and have a wedding. Once I've fulfilled her wish, I'll marry you." Everyone seems to think I'll just go along with it and wait for him to come back and marry me. After all, I've spent three years preparing for this wedding. I've poured my heart into every detail and devoted so much time to making it perfect. However, while Oliver and Angela celebrate their wedding that night, I gave my biological parents a call to tell them I'm coming to be with them. I board a red-eye flight out of Stonevale, leaving everything behind without looking back. … Three years later, I flew back to Stonevale with my husband, Daniel Holden, to attend the anniversary celebration of the Holden Group's Stonevale branch. However, I never expected to run into Oliver at the airport. "You've been gone for three years. Isn't that enough time to let things go? Angela's leukemia is cured, and we're divorced now. Come back to me. Let's finally have our wedding. Don't be so stubborn anymore!"

“Let me go!” He laughed, crimson bleeding into his irises and his fangs glinting with delight. Wrapping her legs around himself he cupped her behind that peeked from under the shorts she had on, licking at her ear, purring. “Did you like my presents?” Nyx scowled, pushing hard at his chest, hating the way her breath hitched in her throat from his touch, hating the little gasps that left her lips from the tingles she felt when his hands continued to graze her skin. “The flimsy clothes or the fact that you just turned me a feeder?” “Both. I thought you'd appreciate my gifts.” “Give me the antidote,” Draven cocked a brow, almost laughing at her pinced expression. Slowly bringing his face closer to hers, their lips merely inches apart he spoke, “Beg for it,” “You promised! You said you would give it to me!” “I didn't say when, did I? Maybe if you try to be a good little girl, I might as well be generous and offer you the cure you so desperately seek.” ††★★†† On the verge of the 21th century with vampires seizing power from humans, domineering them and plunging them back into the medieval times, Nyx a human hunter struggling to adapt to having the undead around becomes a vampire killer herself. Until she crosses path with the ever-so-deadly King of vampires, Draven. Claiming her under the ruse of a mate bond and condemning her to a life of slavery, he makes her the empire's whore. But as the pair grows close, Nyx slowly begins to pry off his bravado and shatter his world, opening the cold hearted vampire to a new kind of emotion. When the court demands a pure blooded queen, he knows he has more to protect than just the empire.

"Oo ford! ...ako nga ang iyong asawa na pinabayaan mong mamat*y sa kamay ng ina mo at sa babaeng tinuri kong kapatid buong buhay ko!" walang tigil sa pagpatak ang aking luha habang sinasabi lahat sa kaniya lahat ng sakit na dinanas ko sa kamay ng kaniyang pamilya at sa t*ksil kong kaibigan. "M-maniwala ka sakin hon ...please-e maniwala ka wala akong alam sa sinasabi mo" paliwanag niya habang sinusubukan niya akong yakapin. "Tigilan mo ako sa mga kasinungalingan mo! magmula ngayon, hindi na ako ang dating mahinang si gwen! dahil hindi na ako muli pang magpapa-api sa inyo!" kumalas ako sa pagkakahawak niya sakin saka tumalikod sa kaniya. "Maniwala ka gwen ...ikaw parin ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko-o" tumulo ang aking mga luha habang nakikinig sa kaniyang kasinungalingan. "M-mahal? ...kung mahal mo ako ford sa akin ka naniwala! sa lahat ng tao dapat ikaw yung unang kumampi sa akin! alam mo ba yung sakit na dinanas ko?! ...ford hindi mo alam kung anong hirap at pasakit naranasan ko sa inyo!" Wala paring hinto ang pagtulo ng aking mga luha habang isa isa kong sinasabi sa kaniya lahat ng nangyari mula noong nasa pamamahay nila ako. "Maniwala ka ...wala akong alam sa nangyari, patawarin mo ako kung, kung hindi ako nakinig sayo mga panahong yun" while crying saka nakaluhod papalapit kay gwen. "T-tama na ford! ...tama na! ...hinding hindi ko kayo mapatatawad lalo ka na!" muli akong bumitaw sa kaniya saka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad habang ang agos ng ulan tuloy tuloy padin. "You're the worse man i've ever met!" in her mind Muling nagsipag patakan ang noo'y nais kong pigilan na mga luha ngunit kusa itong lumalabas at ayaw paawat.

How does it feel, then, to be kissed by an unlovable brute?——I find it amusing that I didn't even have to track down my runaway bride. She simply climbed into my car, completely oblivious to the fact that I am the man she was running away from. I could catch her. Hunting women down is the last thing I want to be doing, truly. I mean Ruby no harm, even though she unknowingly said some awful, untrue things about me in the car. In time, she’ll learn that those things aren’t true. I’m not like my parents. Still, I have no choice but to marry this girl. She’s barely eighteen, three years younger than me, but it’s fate. All of this mess started about a month ago.
