One of Asia's youngest and most ruthless businessmen-a Mafia King whose name alone strikes terror. Arrogant, fierce, and dangerously unpredictable, he is a storm that never bends. Women crave him, power surrounds him, but love? Love is a weakness he buried long ago. Betrayal taught him that. Yet, beneath the ice and steel, there is one truth only a few will ever know-a heart that still beats, but only for one.

And yet, he becomes the only place she ever felt safe. "𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦, 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝." Tropes Grumpy x Sunshine, Age gap, Arrange marriage, Bi

DOOMED BY FATE
Kyla never believed silence could feel this loud- until she found herself standing face-to-face with the man who ruined her. Ken grey. His eyes held rage, guilt, and something far more dangerous-regret. "Kyla," he breathed, stepping closer. She stepped back. "Don't. You already destroyed everything." But he didn't stop. He never stopped. "I'm trying to fix it," he said, voice low, trembling. "For once... let me." Her heart wanted to run. Her body refused to move. And he was close-too close. "Kyla," he whispered again. "If love and hate brought us here... then fate isn't done with us." She hated how her breath hitched. She hated how he noticed. And he did notice-because his voice softened dangerously. "I'm not letting you break alone anymore." Her heart betrayed her first. Her eyes betrayed her next. But her voice... her voice stayed strong. "You don't get to choose for me anymore," she whispered. He gave a faint, painful smile. "Then choose me... or destroy me. I'll take either." When love is poisoned by betrayal, the heart becomes its own battlefield. Kyla thought marriage would save her... Instead, it dragged her into a world where secrets cut deeper than wounds. And when Ken discovers the woman he's been breaking... is the same sister he once swore to protect- everything explodes. Will Kyla survive the truth? Or will love destroy them both?Complete
