She was promised like property. He signed the contract without blinking. Isabella has spent her life obeying the rules-silent, careful, invisible beneath the weight of her father's control. When she's forced into a marriage alliance with the cold and powerful Orlando Lombardi, she doesn't protest. She knows better. Orlando isn't interested in soft things. He doesn't need affection. What he needs is loyalty-and the girl he's been given is a means to an end. But behind quiet eyes, Isabella carries secrets. And beneath Orlando's steel exterior is a man who sees more than he should. As power shifts and hidden loyalties threaten to surface, the house she's leaving-and the man she's bound to-may both be more dangerous than she imagined. One home made her silent. The other wants to hear her scream. ~ "Tell me to stop and I'll stop," he says, his voice rough with restraint. "If you don't tell me right now, I may not be able to hold myself back." My body is vibrating with need, and I don't answer for a beat. When I finally find my voice, the shock of my own words surprises me. "I need you, Orlando. Please." Without another word, Orlando stands and scoops me up. I wrap my legs around his waist as he carries me up the stairs, our lips never parting.

"You're here," she murmured, voice steady. "Tell me two things you can see." His throat worked. "The tub," he managed, voice rough. "You." "Good," she said. "Now, two things you can hear." "The shower," he exhaled. "Your voice." "Two things you can feel." "The water." His grip tightened on her hand. "You." "That's good," she whispered, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"Three years of your life in exchange for your brother's future. Fair, isn't it?" For years, she's lived on exhaustion and sacrifice-working tirelessly to keep food on the table, drowning in debt, and fighting to pay for her brother's medical bills. Hope was never meant for her... until the most dangerous man she knows offers a deal she cannot refuse. Caius Grivano. Her cold, ruthless employer. The infamous mafia leader whose name alone makes the underworld tremble. His proposition is simple: be his wife. No strings. No love. Just a contract that grants her brother's life in exchange for her freedom. Luxury in place of poverty. Safety in exchange for silence. But simplicity is a lie. Because behind Caius's icy indifference is a past that refuses to stay buried... and a little girl who shatters every wall he's built. What happens when a transaction of convenience begins to feel like something far more dangerous-something real?

"Promise?" She said with tears in her eyes. "I promise." He smiled softly.

𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐎𝐍 is the fireball of the group-the life of the party, the girl who always knows how to have fun, and the friend you can always rely on. She believes in love like it's written in the stars, like it's meant to be grand and all-consuming. But what most people don't see is the bleeding heart beneath her confident smile. The same heart that beats fiercely for love is the same one that shatters the hardest. And now, she's starting to wonder-does love heal, or does it only wound? 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 is the guy who never takes anything seriously. He's the one cracking jokes when the room gets tense, the one who turns everything into a game, the friend who always has your back. People love him for it, but they don't realize that it's his way of keeping his own demons at bay. His laughter masks the weight he carries, the things he'd rather drown in another drink than face. But some pain can't be laughed off, and some losses can't be undone. She's searching for something real. He's terrified of facing reality. But when the lines between them blur, when love becomes both the wound and the cure-will he finally step up before she slips away for good?
