She was the enemy's daughter. He was the mafia king who swore to destroy him. Aria Moretti's life shatters the moment her father trades her hand in marriage to Raffaele Vitale-the ruthless Don who built an empire on blood, vengeance, and fear. She's meant to be a pawn, a silken offering meant to mend old wounds and forge uneasy alliances. But Rafe doesn't want peace. He wants revenge. And his new wife is a reminder of everything he's lost. Cold, commanding, and untouchable, Rafe makes it clear Aria will never hold his heart. Yet the longer she lives in his gilded cage, the more the lines between hate and hunger blur. Beneath his tattoos and brutal control, she glimpses the man who aches as deeply as he burns. Now she's caught between two worlds: loyalty to the family who betrayed her, and the dangerous man who has become both her torment and her salvation. Passion. Power. Betrayal. In a marriage born of sin, only one question remains- Will love be their ruin...or their redemption?

The Russian mafia followed a set of old-fashioned traditions, one of which is called 'The blood pact'. To the Dimitri family, the strongest bonds are blood bonds. That's what the last living descendant of the Dimitris, Alexi Dimitri, believes. When wrong intel arrives, accusing his father's former right-hand man, Igor Knight, of having a hand in his parents' murders, Igor has no option but to merge their families through marriage to gain his Don's trust and save his family from a dark fate. The blood pact binds his daughter, Sophie knight, and Alexi Dimitri in holy matrimony, till death do them part. The young woman learned long ago that everything happens for a reason, so when it came down to a life-or-death situation, there was no second-guessing herself. It was either die at the hands of the Russian Don or die living alongside the Russian Don. Sophie Knight knew that life loves to shoot you with its surprises, almost like a game of Russian roulette, but what she didn't know is that the bullet is going to hurt like a bitch.

"Basically, it means the transporter of goods by cart or wagon, it's from an old french word I believe. You wanna know yours?" "You looked up mine?" I question, hiding the small smile on my face, because I'm mad at him or whatever. For... I don't know why but I'm mad at him because I am. Carter catches up to me, grinning to himself.
