With her succession to the throne of the Italian Mafia Crime Family hindered by the challenge posed by the newly-crowned Boss of the Russian Federov Crime family, disillusioned Irene Caravello is determined to play the cards to her favour.
As Underboss of The Caravello Mafia, Irene undertakes a dangerous operation to retrieve a family heirloom stolen by her ex-lover, only to be returned when his proposal is accepted.
Livid, she begrudgingly forges an alliance with The Federov's strikingly cynical ex-consigliere, Valerian Orlov, and in return agrees to grant him immunity.
As the lines between hatred and lust blur, the story unravels to reveal the truth which leaves Irene to believe if everything was indeed an illusion all along.
And as the faces disappear off the cards, Irene must weave her own path to the top, rise above the rest and emerge victorious in this cross-fire.

BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED
Copyright © 2024 by xphoenixo BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED ELIXIR SERIES | BOOK 1 ××× Everything around her was chaotic. Lights were flickering on and off, casting wild shadows across the room. Sparks flew from broken wires, and the stench of burning plastic filled the air. But through it all, she heard the sound of slow footsteps approaching her. A pair of black boots stepped into her blurry line of vision. She tried to lift her head, but it felt like it weighed a ton. All she could do was lie there, soaked and shaking, staring up at the figure that loomed over her. He crouched down, his cold dark eyes gleaming with a twisted kind of pride. The one who smiled when she screamed. "Finally," he whispered, his voice smooth and calm, like he was congratulating her on passing a test. "My beautiful creation... ready to take on the world." Evelyn's heart pounded in her chest. She wanted to move, to fight, but she was too weak. The power that had burst out of her was gone, leaving her empty and drained. All she could do was glare up at him, her vision fading as exhaustion swallowed her whole. The last thing she saw before the darkness took her was his cruel smile, and she knew - this was far from over. He had won this time. But deep inside her, there was still a spark. And one day, that spark would become a fire that would burn him and all the monsters like him to ash. But for now, all she could do was survive. And wait. Because she has nothing to lose but him?Complete

"You can't marry her. I can't let you." His head snapped towards mine. "I didn't see you there beside me as I grieved for you," he snapped. "She was there." "She's also the reason why we lost each other." He let out a scoff. "We lost each other because you gave up on us and ran away. I'm marrying her and that's final. If you came here with the idea of us getting back together then you need to get the fuck out 'cause that's not happening." My breath hitched in my throat.
