I was promised to one monster… But fate delivered me to another. My wedding day was meant to seal peace between two powerful families, but instead it burned everything I ever knew. The church, the vows, my name — all lost in gunfire. When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer a bride. I was property. Bought by the man my father once called his enemy — Marco Russo. Cold. Calculated. Dangerous. He doesn’t believe in love, only control. Every word from him is a command, every glance a test. I swore I’d never bow, never break… but the more I fight him, the more he finds the cracks I tried to hide. Between betrayal and desire, revenge and survival, I’m learning one brutal truth — in his world, hearts aren’t stolen. They’re claimed.
