Chapter 2
The world blurred as Damian DeLuca dragged Isabella through the chaos of her ruined wedding.
Her screams echoed against the marble walls of the church, but no one dared to stop him. Armed men in black suits lined the aisle, their guns gleaming under the chandelier lights.
"Let me go!" Isabella cried, struggling against his iron grip. Her bouquet slipped from her hand, scattering petals across the floor like broken promises.
Daniel stumbled after them, his face twisted with rage.
"Bring her back! Isabella!"
But a single punch from one of Damian's men sent him crashing to the floor. Blood stained Daniel's white tuxedo. Isabella's heart wrenched at the sight, but she was powerless, yanked out into the night like a prisoner being led to her doom.
Outside, sleek black cars waited with tinted windows. Damian shoved her into the backseat of the largest one. The door slammed shut, trapping her inside.
She pounded against the glass. "Help! Somebody help me!"
Damian slid in beside her, calm, composed, as though kidnapping a bride was as ordinary as breathing.
"Stop wasting your breath," he said coolly, his voice deep and commanding. "No one out there would dare defy me."
Her chest heaved, fury boiling inside her.
"Who do you think you are?" she spat. "You just ruined my wedding, my life-"
"I saved you," he cut her off sharply, eyes glinting like steel. "That man you were about to marry? He could never protect you. Not from this world. Not from me."
Her brows knitted in confusion. "What are you talking about? I don't even know you!"
His lips curved into a dark smile. "Oh, Isabella... you know nothing, but your father did. He promised you to me years ago."
Her stomach twisted. "Lies. My father would never-"
"Wouldn't he?" Damian leaned closer, his scent of leather and smoke invading her senses. "Your father owed me a debt he could never repay. His life was spared because of you. You were the price."
Her blood ran cold. A contract? A promise?
It couldn't be true.
"You're insane," she whispered, shaking her head. "I'm not your property!"
For the first time, his expression softened-but only slightly. His hand reached out, tilting her chin up, forcing her to meet his eyes.
"You will understand soon, bella mia. I don't let go of what's mine."
The car sped into the night, the city lights flashing past like fading stars. Isabella's chest tightened with dread as towering gates came into view, leading to a sprawling mansion hidden in shadows.
Her prison. Her new reality.
Her nightmare had only just begun.

I threw a latte on the most dangerous man in New York and lived to tell about it.
Dante Vitiello. The Capo dei Capi. A man rumored to cut out tongues for interrupting his dinner.
Instead of a bullet to the brain, he handed me a black card and a terrifying ultimatum.
"I need a fiancée," he told me, his eyes dead cold.
To save my failing journalism career and my life, I signed a contract with the devil.
I had to wear his massive diamond ring, smile for the cameras, and pretend to be the love of his life to stop a political mafia marriage.
The rules were clear: Absolute obedience. Total exclusivity. And absolutely no feelings.
But the performance started to feel dangerous.
When a rival Don insulted me at a gala, Dante didn't just play the part—he threatened to butcher him in front of three hundred people.
When I saw the jagged scars on his chest in the dead of night, I didn't see a monster; I saw a lonely protector.
My investigation was supposed to expose him, but I was the one getting stripped bare.
Then his cousin Rocco stormed in, calling me a disposable whore and a temporary pawn.
I stood my ground, defending not just myself, but Dante too.
Dante looked at me then, not as an asset, but as a woman he wanted to devour.
He stepped closer, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my bones.
"I think we are going to have a problem with the clause about 'no feelings'."

"Fuck...please..."
He risks a nibble, sending shockwaves to my core. My back arches off the wall with a sharp moan.
His hand slides between my legs, cupping my soaking panties.
"Look how wet you are," he whispers, "...shaking, and I haven't even fucked you yet."
He strokes my clit gently first, then harder. My toes curl, hair spilling into my sweaty face.
He's breaking me, ruining me with just his tongue and fingers. I can't speak. I can't think. I just tremble in his arms.
*********
The night I caught my fiancé cheating, something in me broke.
I cried.
I screamed.
I drove - into the rain, into nowhere, into him.

One night was all it took. One reckless mistake to burn away my heartbreak.
Until he showed up at my mom's wedding...
As my new stepbrother.
Now, Cassian won't stop.
He corners me in hallways, whispers filth at the altar, and looks at me like he still owns my body.
But there's one thing he didn't tell me-
He already belongs to someone else.
A fiancée bound to him by a contract... and a secret that could destroy us both.
He's dangerous.
He's forbidden.
He's promised to another.
And God help me, I still can't stop wanting him.

"You broke the first rule, Princess. That means I get to take something from you. I'll start with this," he said, tugging at my panties and a needy throb ran straight through my core.
"Kyren, don't," I tried but it was to no avail.
He roughly pulled at the flimsy material, covering my most intimate part. The sound of lace ripping, filled the room. And the cool air from the AC bit into my exposed skin.
His hands slid up my back. He unclasped my bra with ease and it soundlessly dropped to the floor. His gaze raked over my trembling form with a satisfied hunger.
"You're not a cheerleader tonight. You're just mine. And I'm going to spend the next few hours showing you exactly what happens when you break my rules," he stated, before pushing my legs wide open with his knee.
