RUTHLESS KING: Arranged Marriage

Maude Leonhart was the daughter of a business man who had gone bankrupt and lost everything, leaving her with nothing and turning her into a cold, career-focused, and self-sufficient woman. Levi Morningstar was a dangerous, wealthy, and dark-haired businessman who didn't give a damn about anyone. Despite their opposing ways of life, these two rivals would become entangled when they signed a contract marriage, eventually discovering that their love was more than just that of a business arrangement. After some tension, the two found a surprising and passionate love, and a steamy romance story unfolded before them.

Maude and Levi's passion was undeniable; however, their love was tested with jealousy, betrayal, and danger. Maude's ex-boyfriend reentered her life and presented a challenge to the budding relationship. Levi's controlling tendencies caused Maude to start to doubt their marriage. The two found themselves at a crossroads, where they were forced to decide: would they surrender to their love, or let it all fall apart?

Excerpt:

"How dare you!" He growls gripping her wrist tightly, his fingers digging deep into her skin.

"Let go of me!" She yells in anger, trying to pull her hand from his grasp. "Release my hand or I swear to God I'll...."

"What? What will you do?" He cuts her off in his really deep voice that sends shivers down her spine and not in a good way. She doesn't let him see her fear though, She won't give him that pleasure.

"I'll rip your head from your body and watch with pleasure as your spine dangles as I hold your head in my hand before tossing it to the dogs to use as a freaking ball!" She growls and he chuckles in amusement. What the hell is amusing him?! She just threatened to kill him and he's chuckling.

"You're feisty, I like that."

"Fück off!" She snaps and aims her foot between his legs. He lets go of her wrist and grips her ankle. She throws a punch at his face but he catches it with his palm and closes it around her fist then pulls her closer to him before turning her around and pulling her to his chest, his fingers wrapped around her neck but not too tight.

"Do you know who I am?" He whispers in her ear and she almost shivers from the effect of it.

"No and I don't give a fück!"

"You amuse me and you arouse me, not many girls have such effects on me." He whispers and she rolls her eyes.

"What exactly am I supposed to do with that information?" She asks dryly and he chuckles. She really hates that sound.

"Somebody needs to be taught some manners." He drawls. She tries to pull away from him but his hold around her neck tightens. "Your father might have sold you to me for his selfish reasons but one thing is certain, I'm definitely keeping you."

"Over my dead fücking body!" She growls and he chuckles then licks her earlobe, causing her to flinch from the wetness.

"We'll see, Peaches."
