I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And?

~ 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 ~ * * * It's Brutal. Chaos. A Trap. ------ Ariyah Moretti has spent her life running-from her past, her name, and the father who wanted her dead. Living in the shadows, she's learned how to disappear... until the night she's found by Damien Niklov-the infamous and feared leader whose empire is built on blood, power, and silence. When Damien offers her a dangerous proposal of marriage, Ariyah knows she must accept to survive. What he doesn't know is that she isn't who she claims to be. Beneath the name "Moretti" lies the truth she's sworn to bury-the last living heir of the Grayan bloodline, a name that was meant to be erased in fire and ash. But Damien isn't a man easily deceived. He sees through every lie, every attempt she makes to escape him. And with every failed run, every heated exchange, the line between hatred and desire blurs until she can't tell which burns hotter-her fury or his obsession. ------ He chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting in the dark, "The hate I had for you transformed into an emotion so powerful that it became unbearable for me to handle, to the point where it fucking physically hurts." His hand slithered to back of my neck and pulled me closer. "You made me like this, you turned me into this, you made me love you even when it seemed fucking impossible." "You don't love me." It came out harsher than I expected. "This is you manipulating me, using me into getting what you want." His eyes narrowed. "Is that what you think?" "Yes." His thumb smoothly rubbed my neck in a circular motion. I breathed in. "Do you love me?" His gaze remains on mine. "If I loved you, then our love would be a sin, that led to chaos, betrayal and death." I spat. "If our love is a sin, then let us be punished together." ------ In a world built on secrets and sin, love is the most dangerous betrayal of all. ------ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⚠️ ~ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧
