❝You think I don't remember the last time I touched you?❞ His eyes pinned me where I stood. ❝You think time made me forget? Marry me, Chiara... and I'll remind you of every damn second.❞ New York was supposed to be Chiara Mancini's fresh start. A city loud enough to drown out her past, glamorous enough to match her designer heels, and ruthless enough to keep her quick on her feet. For a while, it worked-until the cracks began to show. Business turned cutthroat, friends became strangers, and the name she carried became more of a curse than a privilege. When the threats from her late father's mafia empire begin to close in, Chiara is forced into a world she thought she'd escaped. And waiting at the center is Ronan Paladino-razor-smart, ruinously handsome, and the one man who vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing but the memory of a promise. Now he's the only shield between her and the vultures circling her family... on the condition she marry him. In the city that taught her survival, and the country that once taught her love, Chiara will have to decide if some wounds are meant to be healed or sealed in silence with the past they both tried to bury. © All Rights Reserved (victoriapinkglitter) ⚠mature content

"And who the hell are you to tell me that-" But before I could finish, he closed the distance between us in a blink. His breath hit my skin like fire. One hand gripped my jaw, his thumb and fingers squeezing my cheeks as if daring me to speak again. His eyes, dark and unblinking, held something far more terrifying than rage. OBSESSION. He leaned in, whispering at the edge of my neck, his voice a dangerous murmur. "The moment you chose to marry him, you dug your own grave." His grip tightened.
