As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

"Queen," he murmured, his voice dark, "you wanted to die?" I didn't answer. I just stared at him. He smiled-cold, cruel. "I see. Your mouth isn't working now, is it?" My jaw tightened painfully. Then he leaned closer, his grip firm, his voice dropping to a whisper- "You want to die... but I won't let you." My breath hitched. "You don't get to die unless I allow it." For a second, my mind went blank. I just looked at him. Is he even in his right mind? His hold loosened just enough for me to breathe. My eyes drifted to the edge of the cliff. To the drop. His arms were still around me-loose... but there. I took a deep, shaky breath. "And if I decide," I said quietly, "that I don't care what you allow?" The satisfaction on his face disappeared. I pulled away from him. Without another word, I walked back to the car and got inside. ________ MATURE THEMES #9 feminine #22 lust 🥈 #34 rich #279 billionaire #90 hatelove #149 forced marriage #586 mafia #746 slowburn #203 hate #199 hope #28 sick #28 matureaudience #28 maturelanguage #151 couples #39 maturethemes #203 hatelove

Nico Desantis and Chiara Russo are sworn enemies. When three bullets meant for Nico find their mark, it's Chiara, his fiery rival, who defies everything to save him. The act sparks an unwanted obsession in Nico, a hunger not just for power, but for the woman who cheated death for him. To secure a fragile peace, a ruthless bargain is struck - an arranged marriage. Chiara, now bound to the man who once threatened everything she and her family ever worked for, vows to make him regret the day their lives became entangled. But Nico, consumed by a possessive desire, will stop at nothing to claim her heart, even if it means setting their warring empires ablaze. In a world where love and loyalty are luxuries, this marriage of convenience might just become their undoing.

They were the shadows everyone feared. Four boys. Sons of Italy's most dangerous mafia bloodlines. Handsome, ruthless, untouchable-kings in a kingdom of terror. No one dared cross their path. No one dared dream of being close. But in the quiet corners of their brutal lives, they noticed her. The girl who smiled too easily. The girl too soft for their world of fire and blood. The girl they decided belonged to them. The girls never knew their names. Only whispers, only warnings-"Stay away from them." But fate has a twisted way of binding destinies. When years later, four arranged marriages are announced, the girls think it's coincidence. A deal between families. A cruel twist of fate. But it isn't fate. It's them. The bad boys with obsessions sharp as knives. The broken heirs who swore in blood: "You are mine. You were always mine. And I will burn the world before I let it take you away." This is not a love story. This is a story of Twisted Desires.

"I can show how much of a 'little' guy I am." He said emphasizing the little. He came closer to me. Our lips were inches away. I could smell the scent of his cologne definitely not cheap. My breathing became uneven. "What's wrong princess? Cat got your tongue" He stroked my cheek. I leaned into his touch but he removed it. He pulled away grabbing another glass. I let out a breath.
