From Mafia Pawn To The Don's Queen
It wasn't a gun, but the pen in my hand was going to end my life just the same.
Liam, the man I was supposed to marry in a month, pointed to the tablet on his desk. It showed a live feed of my mother’s hospital room.
"Sign the confession, Ava," he said, his voice devoid of any warmth. "Take the fall for the embezzlement. Or the funding for her ventilator stops in ten seconds."
My heart hammered against my ribs. The crimes weren't mine. They belonged to Chloe, his mistress. But Liam Valenti, the Underboss of New York, was sacrificing me to save her.
"She's fragile," he said casually, adjusting his silk cuffs. "She can't handle prison. You're strong. You'll survive."
With tears blurring my vision, I signed the document. I signed away my career as a lawyer and my freedom to save my mother.
Liam snatched the paper like a prize. He didn't offer comfort. He just smirked.
"Good girl. The wedding is still on, of course. You'll look beautiful in the ankle monitor."
He walked out to celebrate with his mistress, thinking he had won. Thinking he owned me.
But he forgot one crucial detail. I wasn't just his fiancée. I was the one who laundered his money. I knew where every body was buried—literally and financially.
The moment the door clicked shut, I stopped crying. I pulled out a burner phone and opened an encrypted app.
I wasn't going to jail. I was going to war.
I typed three words to the one man Liam feared most.
"Execute Protocol Zero."

This wasn't just a lock-in.
It was a setup.
Chloe hadn't simply lost the codes.
She was purging the evidence.
And I was the evidence.

Indianna Hughs had always been the quiet one, the shy one. She stayed in the background, blending in, never getting noticed.
She liked it that way.
So when she's forced to move schools, she isn't happy. Everyone notices the new kid, and she doesn't want that kind of attention.
Especially not from Mr. Bad Boy, who seems a little too interested in her.
"She's shy," Brooke shrugged, glancing at Indianna, who looked like she'd rather be anywhere else but in the classroom with them.
"Well, come on," Greyson said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "I don't bite."
Indianna stiffened just like before.
"Don't say that," she replied quietly, but there was firmness in her tone now.
Greyson raised an eyebrow, a slow smirk forming on his lips.
"Did I hit a nerve?" he asked.
"Guess you're not as innocent as you look."

I was the "Ice Queen," the perfect Mafia wife who managed the De Luca empire's millions while my husband, Alessandro, played the part of the feared Underboss.
I thought my silence and competence earned me respect.
That was until I woke up in the estate's medical bay with a shattered leg.
My saddle had snapped mid-jump. It wasn't wear and tear; it was sabotage.
Lying in the dark, feigning sleep, I heard Alessandro whispering outside my door with his enforcer.
"The buckle was filed down," the enforcer said urgently. "Aria tampered with it. She could have broken her neck."
I waited for Alessandro’s rage. I waited for him to execute the mistress who tried to kill his wife.
Instead, his voice was cold and dismissive.
"Bury it," Alessandro ordered. "It’s just a broken leg. Aria was upset about the credit cards. She just wanted to teach Katarina a lesson."
A lesson.
My husband wasn't just cheating on me; he was protecting the woman who tried to cripple me.
Three days later, at the Family Charity Gala, he humiliated me publicly. He outbid me for my grandmother's heirloom necklace and clasped it around Aria's neck while I watched from my wheelchair.
He thought I was broken. He thought I was just a piece of furniture to be rearranged.
He didn't know I had bugged the entire villa while I was recovering.
He didn't know I had the recordings of what Aria was really doing when he wasn't looking.
I gripped the USB drive in my pocket and signaled the tech team to lock the doors.
The statue was broken, but he was about to learn that shattered ice is sharp enough to slit a throat.

I returned to the manor after four years, handing Marcus Thorne an invitation to my wedding.
He looked at me with cold eyes, his arm around his fiancée, Chloe—the woman I was molded to look like.
But the real blow came at lunch.
A waiter tripped, sending three mugs of scalding coffee flying toward us.
Marcus didn't move to protect me.
He lunged to grab his phone from the table because Chloe’s face was on the screen.
The boiling liquid splashed across my chest, burning my skin instantly.
While I screamed in agony, Marcus simply checked his notifications.
"I have to go," he said, stepping over me as my fiancé, David, desperately poured ice water on my burns. "Chloe broke a nail. She's hysterical."
He walked out of the restaurant without looking back, leaving me writhing in pain.
At the hospital, the doctor dropped another bombshell: I was pregnant.
Marcus didn't know.
He didn't know I was carrying another man's child.
Just like he didn't know about the baby of his I had lost three years ago—the one I miscarried while he ignored my calls to close a business deal.
I wiped my tears and looked at David.
"Get the plane ready," I whispered. "We leave tonight."
When Marcus finally came looking for me, all he found was a medical report of the child he killed with his neglect, and a note saying I was gone forever.
