"You don't get it do you?"

"Get what Angel?" 

"I'm not someone you can be proud to be with. I'm too broken for my own good. I'm someone you toss aside after you're done me."

"What" I croak out as I see him watching me.

"You don't get it do you?" he said.

"You are the strongest woman I have ever seen. You put the weight of the world on your shoulder and put on a smile while doing so. You give so much and ask for so little. You are the true definition of an angel. You aren't broken you're just a little cracked. And I know I can't change that but what I can change is the way you view yourself. They could never forcefully take the best thing out of you. Your love. You're not used because you've never given your love to anyone. I don't care about the superficial things I care about you and just you. And these scars of yours..."
He lifted up my arms and rolled up my sleeves. He then began to pepper kisses all over the scars on my arms.

"...are your battle wounds." he murmured against my skin giving me goosebumps and shivers.

"Your clothes. They bother me. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐟𝐟." ~ Marriage was not for love -it was for business. It was a strategic move that one had to make wisely. For the Lombardis and the Morettis, this marriage was the most calculated, showstopping move of the century. Roman Moretti, the Don of the Italian Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, the only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, have been betrothed since her birth and were matched to be the bridge that reigned in the two families' supremacy. Hidden away from the world and never seen by any outsider's eye, Angeline was molded and perfected into being the ideal wife since she took her first breath. Controlled, silenced, and undermined, Angeline has known her place in the world from a young age and understands that the second she makes a mistake, she will be defiled and used in any way someone sees fit. But everyone else's first mistake about her is the most helpful: they underestimate her. Even though no one has met her, everyone thinks of the Lombardi Princess being useless and an object for show. Roman sees this marriage as a necessity but not a vital part of his life. He is already feared by all and has countries at his feet; he knows no limits to his control and has men terrified to meet his eyes. To him, Angeline is a means to an end and only there to secure what he already has. He plans to keep her away in a separate house, miles away from his own, and only make appearances with her when it's necessary. But all of his plans change when he sees her for the first time, walking down the aisle towards him. She is pure perfection and knows that she will be his end. His every weakness. His every obsession. His every motivation. But what if that was Angeline's plan all along? ~ "You, my Angel, have 𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 me for anyone else." ~ -HEA -Mature scenes/18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller/action -Strong FMC -No Cheating/OWD
