The only mistake she made was to be seen by the most ruthless mafia Don. Don Carlos Santiago is a ruthless and dangerous man. He is Don of the Santiago's Family. The throne was passed unto him at the age of twenty-five when his father could no longer rule due to his bad eyesight. Carlos is a churchgoer. Even though he is merciless. There is still a little humanity in him. His late mother. Teresa taught him to fear the Lord even though he deals in crime. He had sworn not to get married because women are not respected in the Santiago Family. Peradventure, he decides to get an heir. He will contract a woman of his choice to bear him a Son. Until one faithful day. A certain girl with the nickname 'church girl' caught his eye, and her life became a nightmare because of him.

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.

Earlier known as Devil In Disguise!! "Has anyone ever kissed you, Maria?" He said with a low voice. Well, that got my attention. I was unable to say anything. His one hand slowly moved from my thigh to my neck with a firm grip but not enough to cut my air supply. Oh lord, now I am wet. He leans to my ear saying, "Tell me, do you like being choked, Maria?" Well shit. ***************** Maria is just another girl who is now out of college and searching for a job. She is a people's pleaser and knowing her past very little, she believes what others tell her blindly. However, knowing her family she has to sacrifice some things in life. But is that sacrifice worth it? When the cold-hearted Mafia boss married Maria who is unknown to his world from the start, takes care of him, he finds himself being cared for.

Will she find out or be oblivious to it? ***************** COMPLETED Highest ranking 1# in darkthemes 1# in sexualthemes 1# in possessive 2# in dark 4# in marriage 7# in kink 7#in Italian 22# in lies ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!

Sophie Black is twenty, but she's lived through more than most people twice her age. Trapped in a house that feels more like a prison than a home, she's learned to survive in silence-swallowing pain, hiding scars, and trying to forget a past that never stops chasing her. Then Brandon Salvatore walks in. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. A man who rules the criminal underworld with cold precision-and eyes that see straight through Sophie's defenses. Brandon doesn't ask. He decides. And when he decides Sophie belongs to him, nothing will stop him from taking her. She knows he's trouble. He's too controlling, too lethal, and far too off-limits. But when the world has already broken you, danger doesn't scare you-it calls to you. As Sophie is pulled deeper into Brandon's violent world, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and power begins to shift. He's possessive, ruthless, and infuriating-but he's also the first person who's ever truly seen her. And once you're seen, you can't go back to being invisible. This is a dark, twisted love story about survival, obsession, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission. It's not sweet. It's not safe. But neither is Sophie. Not anymore. Trigger warning: contains mature content, violence, trauma, and a morally grey hero who doesn't play by the rules. ----------------------------------------------------------- Plz do read the prologue and then decide if you wanna continue or not. :-) :-* Start date - 15/04/2019 Completed date - 05/07/2025

"Noooo" I cried as I desperately prayed to be anywhere else but here. I struggled in the painful grip, my face was yanked upward forcefully through my hair. 
There were those eyes, the eyes that watched me live in hell every single second, the eyes that smiled at my pain and misery, the eyes of the monster I ran away from. 
"Long time no see, little snow." 
My heart dropped in terror as I stared into the familiar face that haunted my nightmares. SHATTERED REPUBLISHING ❤️
