Me. Isabella Morello. My life wasn't always rainbows and a field of flowers on a sunny day. But, I thought I meant more to my family than this. Who do I have to marry? The net heir of the Italian Mafia. I thought I would find love on my own. I thought I would marry the love of my life. I thought a lot of things by my life isn't a book and this isn't a fairytale. I have to abide by my parents' arrangement; even if it means I lose my heart to the Devil himself. He's arrogant, cruel, heartless, but under his cold exterior there has to be a soul inside, right?

UNWANTED DEVOTION by selenespellbound01

I was taught from birth, through force, how to be perfect for him, how to obey everything he said, and how to be his devoted follower. I was being prepared to become his perfect wife. But when he came, he brought someone else with him, making me the happiest person, but not for long. He killed her in front of me just to show that now the place of his wife would only be mine-the place I never wanted.

𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 The billionaires daughter's dreams and fantasies of marrying for love crushed within a second as she finds herself helping her family and marrying for convenience. Helping her arranged husband get back with his ex, wasnt something she'd dream of. She'd always been warned not to fuel the fire, but maybe she 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙙 to fuel the wildest fires she encountered. 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐳𝐳𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢 Settling down with someone was never in his cards, especially after he got out of a 3 year relationship. Next thing he knows, he's being swindled in a marriage, he couldn't give one fuck about. Letting his arranged wife help him go back to a relationship he got scarred from, wasn't expected. A soul so tainted, in disguise. Perceived as a 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣, but he's far from it. ᥫ᭡. 𝐃𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍; 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭.

Heyy, guys so I made this story when I was pretty wrong and now going back and reading, I've decided to edit and improve the story line and ending!!!!! 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝗼𝐫𝐢𝐚 It's hard to love someone after what happened. It change me, it mold me. Living is pointless, I found myself thinking sometime all it takes it one bullet to the head. The need to stay high from drinking is the only thing holding me together until I meet 𝐇𝐢𝗺. Him with those gray eyes who gives me a reason for me to want to breathe. He who makes me feel alive with one touch , who every time I see my heart beats faster but my lungs slower. Loving just hurts so what's the point in love if it will only hurt you. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚 She has that stone cold face but when you look into 𝐡𝐞𝐫 eyes you see the pain. The pain she hides from others and dwells when alone. Who can hurt a beautiful creature like that but who am I to judge when I myself have hurt her. In my world love is a weakness that will bring you to your knees for the one in your heart. No matter how hard I try , I can never forget 𝐡𝐞𝐫 but what's the point of loving if it will only hurt you. Victoria Mary Santos is the fearless badass daughter of the Spanish Mafia. She will do anything to seek her revenge on her assaulter who almost broke her. And by all means anything, she is willing to except an arranged marriage.

Broken Vows by emotionalabuser

He vowed he would never love her. But some vows were made to be broken. *** "You know, maybe this marriage is going to be exactly how I imagined." she says in a tone that's flat and harsh, her eyes ice cold. "Oh? And how's that?" I ask with sarcasm dripping from my tongue, tilting my head. "Miserable and utterly loveless." ***
