When Isabella's sister disappears hours before her wedding, chaos erupts inside the grand Salvatore mansion. The media is waiting, the guests are whispering, and the powerful Mafia family stands on the edge of humiliation. To protect the family's name, a single decision is made. Isabella - the quiet, graceful dancer who spent her life away from the world of blood and power - is forced to take her sister's place. She never imagined wearing the gown meant for another. She never imagined saying vows to a man who looked at her like she was a mistake. Dante Salvatore was never meant to lose control. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving - he lived by one rule: Never let emotions become weakness. But the moment Isabella steps into his world, everything begins to fracture. He despises her innocence, her defiance, her softness that doesn't belong in his empire of darkness. Yet, he can't look away. And she, despite every warning, can't seem to stay untouched by him. Between stolen glances and broken promises, love and hatred blur until neither can tell where one ends and the other begins. Secrets from the past start to resurface, threatening to destroy everything they're forced to build together. Because destiny may have replaced the bride... but it also awakened something far more dangerous - a love that was never meant to exist. And in a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal comes dressed as devotion, both will learn that sometimes, the wrong beginning can lead to the most unforgettable story.

A force. The dazzling CEO of Élysian Couture, she built an empire of elegance, dominance, and grace. To the world, she's untouchable - an icon of beauty and brains. But behind those high walls and crimson lips lies a woman suffocating under the weight of expectations, haunted by betrayal, and still healing wounds that no amount of success could hide. Jeon Jungkook walks in shadows - not just a businessman, but the enigmatic and feared Underworld criminal whose name brings silence to every room. Years ago, he lost everything - his company, his power, and his pride - all because of one man. Kim Dae-Hyun. Y/N's father. So, he waited. Planned. Built his empire from the ashes of his downfall. And now, he's ready to strike - not with bullets or blades, but with the ultimate move: a marriage contract. One she never saw coming. To the world, their marriage is shocking yet picture-perfect. But behind closed doors, it's a battlefield - a twisted game of cold stares, buried pain, subtle seduction, and dangerous secrets. Y/N wants to hate him. Needs to. But something about him-his guarded eyes, the way he touches pain like he knows it too well-starts pulling her into a storm she isn't ready for. And Jungkook? He tells himself she's just the means to an end. A pawn in his plan. But her fire... her defiance... her broken beauty... It starts to burn through every wall he ever built. She was never meant to matter. He was never supposed to feel. Now, they're tangled in a war of hate, temptation, and history. But in a world where love feels like betrayal and revenge feels like salvation-what happens when the lines blur? Will she become his greatest weakness? Or will he become the ruin she never saw coming? GRAPHICS by @apxcalypse.

But when a monstrous being, older and darker than any of their clans, rises from the depths of the forest, all creatures must unite or face extinction.
