"Don't fight me, mi amor... surrendering will hurt much less," he murmured, his lips grazing her ear, sending a chill down her spine. "Good girl," he growled, his dark eyes locking onto hers as he hovered over her trembling frame, his dominance suffocating yet impossible to resist. A Deal Sealed in Betrayal Dario De Costa-the merciless and feared Don of the Italian mafia-is forced into an alliance with the American mafia through marriage. Known for his cold cruelty and unforgiving nature, Dario views this union as nothing more than a means to secure absolute power. But his meticulously laid plans collapse when the bride he was promised-Ashley Brown-disappears on the eve of the wedding, fleeing with her lover. In a desperate attempt to salvage the alliance, the family substitutes her younger sister, Olivia Brown, just 19-a quiet girl haunted by years of abuse from their father, Alexander Brown. The whispers are everywhere: "Dario De Costa-betrayed by a bride switch!" Now shackled to the Devil himself, Olivia must endure a marriage born of deception. Dario, enraged and humiliated, sees her as nothing but collateral damage-a pawn in his ruthless game to dominate the American mafia. But Olivia, fragile as she seems, hides a quiet strength. As Dario's icy façade begins to crack, an unexpected connection ignites between them, blurring the lines between vengeance and desire. Can Olivia survive the inferno of his wrath-or will she emerge as the one to tame the Devil? In a world of betrayal, power, and dark passion, only one thing is certain: Love and hate have never burned so dangerously close

"Your favorite color." "Hmm." Davon let out as he leaned in towards her. He inspected Scarlet's cold eyes with full concentration, and after a few seconds, he finally responded when he moved away from her. "Auburn." ♢♦♢ Scarlet. She was a nightmare brought to life. A horror story to be told around campfires. A beast used to scare children if they didn't go to bed on time. The name alone struck fear into the most bravest of men or women. At the age of just 27, she had grown to be the most fatal assassin to walk the face of the Earth, and no one even knew what she looked like. Scarlet purposely left harmless traces behind with every kill, which served as a reminder to everyone that she still lurked in the shadows. But on one occasion, a dark-haired man with even darker eyes left a trace on her heart. 18+

"Rule number one," He whispers, pulling back to look me right in the eye, "Never let your guard down." He flashes me a cunning smirk as I stare at him, stunned at what he had just done. Only, he makes a mistake of turning to see what everyone else ahead of the bleachers is doing. I smirk and take a step back forcefully. Just as he turns his head back to face me, I swing my arm at his face. "No. That's rule two," I snap, "Rule one is never turn your back to your opponent."
