Challenges and hurdles thrust their way left and right, leaving the couple no chance but to manifest this fake relationship into something real. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt : "I think I'm strong enough to handle myself" She confesses with specks of anger darting through her eyes. I groan "You are, but it doesn't mean I like you being away from me in case anything happens" I stress my words, my breath hitting her face in gentle waves. "Shall you put me on a leash too?" She spits defiantly, smelling the tinge of alcohol on her breath, the knife digging deeper into my skin, I feel it's only moments away from piercing through my skin. My eyes snap to her angry contortions, her eyebrows furrowed, mouth slightly agape. "Come on, dance with me. The earth is spinning, we can't just stand on it" ❣️•••❣️ *I do not own any of the pictures used in this book, they belong to their rightful owners. *contains cursing. *contains mature themes. *focuses more on the romantic aspect, but I guarantee there's some action;) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in mafiamarriage #7 in ForcedMarriage #1 in mafiaking #1 in arranged #10 in arrangedmarriage #1 in fastpaced #1 in fake #1 in darkacademia #3 in mafia #1 in marriage #6 in completed #4 in youngadult #1 in enemies #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in drama #1 in spicy

"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
