Why Was Xie Lian Banished

Adik tiriku menuduhku membuatnya alergi, jadi ketiga kakakku mengurungku di dalam ruang bawah tanah, bahkan mengunci pintu. Aku mengetuk pintu dengan kuat dan memohon para kakakku membiarkanku keluar. Kakak pertamaku selaku orang yang hebat dalam bisnis memarahiku sebelum dia pergi. "Biasanya kamu menindas Linda, aku bisa tutup sebelah mata. Tapi kamu tahu jelas kalau Linda alergi dengan seafood, kamu malah membiarnya makan, bukankah ini sama saja mencelakainya? Kamu di dalam introspeksi diri atas perbuatanmu." Kakak keduaku adalah penyanyi terkenal, sedangkan kakak ketigaku adalah pelukis genius, mereka juga mengataiku. "Orang kejam sepertimu, bisa-bisanya pura-pura nggak bersalah dan mencari alasan, kamu di dalam saja dan introspeksi diri." Selesai berbicara, mereka menggendong adik tiri yang masih gemetar ke rumah sakit dengan cepat. Aku merasa tidak ada oksigen lagi, bahkan merasa makin susah bernapas, akhirnya aku mati di dalam. Tiga hari kemudian, saat para kakakku membawa adik tiri pulang dari rumah sakit, mereka baru ingat padaku. Hanya saja, aku sudah meninggal di ruang bawah tanah karena kekurangan oksigen.

**Evelyn Karamazov** I’ve spent all twenty-three years of my life immersed in the world of the mafia, groomed to rule with an iron fist. But power in our world doesn’t come without a price, and that price is marriage—a union built on strategy rather than so-called love. It’s the last thing I want, but in this life, sacrifices are the currency we trade in. And if I have to choose, I’ll sacrifice to the devil I know rather than the angel I don’t. But make no mistake, a sacrifice is still a sacrifice, and it demands its due. **Killian Bandini** Sixteen years—that’s how long I’ve waited to exact my revenge. Sixteen years to drown in nightmares, consumed by guilt and the unyielding desire to set things right. My father is dead, and now the Bandini empire is mine. The time has come to collect what is owed, and God help those who wronged me, because they will pay with blood. ★ What happens when the most lethal, most infuriating man to ever walk the earth crashes your wedding, puts a bullet in your would-be husband’s head, and holds everyone at gunpoint just to ensure you marry him instead? Killian Bandini doesn’t ask; he takes. But if he thinks I’m some meek bride to be bartered and controlled, he’s dead wrong. I may have to marry him, but I sure as hell won’t make it easy. He’s come for blood and power, but he doesn’t know that I’m not just a pawn—I’m a queen, and this game has only just begun.

Prologue 🖤 Ulric Ulric est l’ombre dans la lumière, l’homme qu’on craint autant qu’on désire. Il porte la colère dans les veines et l’amour dans les silences. Il est brutal, possessif, jaloux — mais loyal. Son regard transperce, sa voix impose. Il aime comme il vit : avec excès, sans retour en arrière. Quand il aime Julianne, il devient vulnérable, presque humain. Il tuerait pour elle, mais il ne sait pas toujours l’aimer sans la blesser. Ulric est un roi maudit, perdu entre son trône de sang et sa soif d’amour pur. --- 🌺 Julianne Julianne est une rose élevée parmi les épines. Douce en apparence, mais imprévisible quand on la trahit. Elle a été donnée à un homme, Ulric, comme une offrande — mais elle s’est transformée en feu sacré. Mère, femme, amante, stratège... Julianne porte tout à la fois. Elle a souffert, beaucoup. Mais elle n’a jamais abandonné son cœur. Elle aime avec dignité, se défend avec fierté, et rêve encore malgré les cicatrices. Elle est le secret d’Ulric, sa lumière, son châtiment et son salut. --- 💔 Leur amour L’amour entre Ulric et Julianne est un champ de bataille parfumé. Rien n’est simple. Rien n’est doux. C’est un amour de coups d’éclat, de silence lourd, de cris dans la nuit et de promesses non dites. Ils s’aiment comme deux flammes rivales : attirées, consumées, ravagées. Ils ne savent pas vivre ensemble sans se heurter, mais ne savent pas exister l’un sans l’autre. Leur amour est maudit, mais sacré. Il est à la fois poison et remède. Ce n’est pas un conte de fées — c’est une guerre sainte entre deux âmes trop fortes pour renoncer.
