"Do you know what your name means in Greek Alina?" He asks me as his hand sneaks around my waist, drawing me in closer
My breath hitches, trying to find the words without fumbling, "My father used to call me his light." I answer, my words coming out in a breath, shifting under his weight, pressing myself against him.
His eye meets mine, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear before replying, " you are my light Alina, you will always be my light." His lips connecting to mine, and I feel at peace, like I'm home.

But when Colden offers Alina a proposition that could save her life, how could she refuse ? She'll have to make decisions that go beyond her imagination and bend boundaries that has been placed her whole life. A new adjustment is hard when the person your living with you absolutely hate.. sort of.

❝You think I don't remember the last time I touched you?❞ His eyes pinned me where I stood. ❝You think time made me forget? Marry me, Chiara... and I'll remind you of every damn second.❞ New York was supposed to be Chiara Mancini's fresh start. A city loud enough to drown out her past, glamorous enough to match her designer heels, and ruthless enough to keep her quick on her feet. For a while, it worked-until the cracks began to show. Business turned cutthroat, friends became strangers, and the name she carried became more of a curse than a privilege. When the threats from her late father's mafia empire begin to close in, Chiara is forced into a world she thought she'd escaped. And waiting at the center is Ronan Paladino-razor-smart, ruinously handsome, and the one man who vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing but the memory of a promise. Now he's the only shield between her and the vultures circling her family... on the condition she marry him. In the city that taught her survival, and the country that once taught her love, Chiara will have to decide if some wounds are meant to be healed or sealed in silence with the past they both tried to bury. © All Rights Reserved (victoriapinkglitter) ⚠mature content

Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Complete
