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."

---------- (Sneak peak) "Oh my beautiful Fugl" he said as his finger tucked away a stray strand from my face. (Fugl = Bird) I still looked away from him, pissed. "Don't look away from me. This is a warning" And I ignored it. Soon, he grabbed me neck with one hand and waist from another and pulled me on his lap. My eyes widened at the position that I was in. My legs on the either side of his waist and my body on his lap. My core touch his and he was hard. He thrusted his hips upwards and I gasped at the feeling. "Don't ignore me love. I mean it, there will be consequences" and with that his hand shifted from my waist to under my skirt and he cupped my pussy, and I bit my lip. "Tsk" he said as his mouth attached to mine and his finger shifted my pantie aside and inserted his big finger inside my wet pussy. "My beautiful whore, look at you, all wet. This is what I mean when I say you are mine" And I kept my head on his shoulders as he moved his finger. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Read for the smut actually. <3

But when tragedy strikes, her life is shattered, leaving her a mere shell of who she used to be. Wracked with self-hatred and haunted by the past, she's lived in isolation, barely holding on. Now, an old threat resurfaces, threatening to destroy the last pieces of her fragile sanity. Desperate, she makes a choice she never imagined-striking a deal with the one man she vowed never to fall for. Aman Mehra. Flirtatious, charming, and irresistibly charismatic, he's the man everyone calls the "golden-retriever energy." But Nitya knows better. She's seen what lies beneath the surface, and she's sure she could never love someone like him. After all, the devil you know is better than the monster lurking in the shadows. Their agreement is simple: a marriage of convenience. He gets out of an unwanted engagement, and she gains his protection. But can a deal with the devil ever truly stay just business?
