Elena Cruz, a hardworking but wronged woman, signs a one-year marriage contract with cold, powerful mafia boss Matteo De Luca-only to save her reckless brother's life. She enters Matteo's dangerous world expecting a cage, not a connection. But behind his ruthless mask, she discovers a man capable of gentleness, loyalty, and unexpected tenderness. What begins as a cold arrangement quickly turns into forbidden desire. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their nights burn hotter than either planned. And when Elena secretly becomes pregnant, Matteo's world shifts-she is no longer a contract; she is the woman he cannot afford to lose. But the mafia war Matteo has been fighting erupts violently. A traitor leaks Elena's location to his enemies. To protect her and the unborn child, Matteo stages a public breakup, pretending cruelty to drive her away. Heartbroken and alone, Elena disappears from the city-believing he never loved her at all. Months later, hiding under a new identity, Elena is hunted down by Matteo's enemies. At the brink of capture, Matteo returns-bleeding, furious, and desperate-to save her and their baby. He risks his life and nearly dies in her arms. Now their fates are permanently tied... But the enemy who wants their child as leverage is still out there. Matteo must recover, reclaim his throne, and fight for the family he almost lost. As danger intensifies and old betrayals surface, Elena must choose: Will she return to the man who broke her heart to save her life? Or will she stay hidden and protect her child-even if Matteo dies trying to find her? A story of contract marriage, intense chemistry, mafia danger, secret pregnancy, betrayal, survival, and second-chance love-perfect for readers who crave heartbreak, heat, and a hero who would burn the world for his family.

Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? © IcecreamSundae5.

Love is a fragile thing. It can be nurtured, like a delicate flower in spring, blossoming under warmth and care. Or it can be neglected, left to wither under the weight of indifference until nothing remains but dust and regret. This is the story of a love that was once whole, then broken, then lost entirely. A love that burned brightly in the heart of a Queen-so deeply, so fiercely, that it consumed her. And a love that the Emperor never recognized until it was too late. She loved him. More than she should have. More than he deserved. She had given him her loyalty, her devotion, her very soul. And in return, he had given her nothing. Not his trust. Not his protection. Not even his mercy. Her love for him had died long before her body did. If fate ever gave her another chance, she would never love him again. But fate is cruel. Death was not the end. She would return, reborn from the ashes of her suffering. Not as the woman who once waited for his love. Not as the Queen who had begged for his favor. But as someone who would never waste another moment longing for him. This time, it would be his turn to burn.

The late-night cries of a six-month-old baby echoed softly through the dimly lit apartment. Amid the stillness, Meera sat on the edge of the bed, gently rocking her daughter in her arms. Her eyes, heavy with exhaustion, held a kind of love only a mother could understand-selfless, patient, unwavering. The world outside moved on-cars honked, alarms rang, people rushed-but for Meera, time stood still in that tiny nursery. Her husband, Rohit, hadn't come home yet. Again. She glanced at the clock. 12:47 a.m. Another "late-night meeting," he had said. Another night she whispered lullabies alone. She pressed a soft kiss to her daughter's forehead and tried not to let her heart feel the cold emptiness beside her. "This is just a phase," she told herself. "He's just stressed. Things will be better soon." But deep down, beneath layers of denial and devotion, a part of her already knew-something had changed. And soon, her world would never be the same again.
