Esmeralda only wanted one thing- To chase after Rael, the crown prince, and hopefully marry him someday. But all that hope fade into nothing when she remembered everything- This world? It's from a novel she read in her past life. And her? Esmeralda Schuan, the villainess who gets dumped, humiliated, and eventually destroyed. No thanks. This time, she's not chasing the crown prince. Not fighting over love. Not ruining her life for a story that isn't worth it. She just wants to enjoy her rich and pampered life. But somehow... The more she tries to step away from the story and save her future- The more she realizes everything isn't what she thought it would be.

Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, a fierce Greek mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."
