Tangled in His Chains

Alex had always led a simple life—small town, small dreams. He worked as a waiter in a local café, serving coffee to people who didn’t even notice the tiredness in his eyes. He never complained; after all, he was used to being invisible. His life was quiet, lonely even, but it was manageable. That was until his world was turned upside down by an unthinkable proposal: an arranged marriage. The name on the papers that had sealed his fate: William Blackwood. The name alone sent a chill down Alex’s spine. William was not just a rich young master—he was the heir to the Blackwood Mafia family, a man whose reputation was as dark as the underworld he ruled. Alex had heard whispers about him—stories of violence, power, and ruthless ambition. The man who was about to become his husband was nothing like the fairytale prince he had dreamed of. He could hardly believe it when his parents told him about the arrangement. There was no room for argument; his family was in debt, and the Blackwood family was offering a solution. It was a contract—a way to secure their future, no matter how much Alex hated it. But he had no choice.
