An angel given into the hands of the devil himself.

What happens when an innocent girl collides with the man the entire world fears? The Mafia King, Alex Roy whose single glance makes people tremble yet, for the very first time, he found himself... afraid. Afraid of her. "Say sorry, Mr." she demanded, her voice calm yet unshakable. One of his guards scoffed, stepping forward. "Do you even realize who you're talking to?" Zoya's eyes sparkled with a strange fire. "Yes. To the man who spilled my coffee. Oh, my poor lovely dream in a cup," she replied, utterly unfazed. The guard was about to lash out, but Alex simply lifted his hand, silencing him instantly. To everyone's shock, the Mafia King lowered his head ever so slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry. It's my fault." The silence that followed was deafening. His guards froze in disbelief unable to process what they had just witnessed. But Zoya? She only smiled sweetly and said, "Good boy." And in that moment, Alex Roy the untouchable king of darkness realized one terrifying truth. She wasn't afraid of him. He was afraid of losing her.

(NOT EDITED YET!) "I'm gonna make things clear". He said walking slowly toward me as I took a few steps back. "I was forced into this too.". My back hit the wall as he came even closer. "But you're mine now. Only mine. You are MY wife. There's no way out of this. You belong to me". He hissed in my ear. I shiver as he looks at me with his cold stare. My heart was beating so fast. He then kissed my lips before heading out of the room leaving me there. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sarah Dantes is a 22 years old young girl, heiress of the Dantes family along with her older sister Sandra.

She was the price of a debt. He was the devil collecting it. Sofia Murphy lives in a world of color and quiet-a life spent painting soft dreams and hiding from sharp truths. But when her father signs her away to settle a blood debt, she's thrust into the arms of a monster wrapped in a tailored suit. Alessandro Lombardi is a king among criminals. Feared. Worshipped. Deadlier than the sins that built his empire. He doesn't ask for a wife. He takes one. In his world, vows are shackles. Kisses are claims. And love? Love is just another weapon. Sofia is everything he's not-sweet, untouched, innocent, a light he was never meant to hold. But now that he has her, he won't let go. Not when she trembles under his touch. Not when she flinches at his darkness. Not even if she wants to run. Because Alessandro doesn't chase. He hunts. He craves her obedience. Worships her purity. And if she ever thinks of running? He'll track her down with a smile, chain her to his bed, and remind her-slowly, ruthlessly-who owns her body. And who owns her soul. He didn't just marry her. He branded her. And in this house? There's no escape. Only surrender. And if the world dares come between them? He'll burn it to the ground-just to watch her smile in the ashes.

"Laurent, it will do you well to understand that Salina is not yours anymore. She is mine. These insults you throw her way, they affect me. These," he gripped Salina's face a bit roughly. Squeezing her cheeks and tilting her chin to show the tear stains on them, glistening in the light. "These tears, they are mine. Choose your next words carefully in reference to my woman." •• Dominik Ivanov needs a wife. Or rather, does he simply want one? The Russian Devil is feared by many and known by none. When the devilish man is searching for a wife, Salina didn't once assume it would be her. But when she ends up in a courthouse signing her life away, she can't help but wonder if there's a bright side to this all. ~ When the devil finds himself obsessed, what more can he do but corrupt her? #2 in dangerouslove |10/23/23|

(Can be read as a standalone.) My parents are hell bent on getting me married, convinced that a wife will magically "fix" me. As a mafia leader, idle talks and constant affection makes no sense to me. Never had and never will. Thanks to some dumb rule and my parents' constant nagging, I settle down with the girl of their choice. Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking. And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me. I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.
