I woke up as someone's wife.
No memory of the wedding. No memory of the man. Just strangers with kind eyes and careful voices, a ring I cannot remove, and photographs of me smiling at the altar beside the most dangerous man in the world.
Don Hidalgo. Boss of all bosses. Leader of the Cosa Nostra.
The marriage certificate bears my signature. I have no explanation for it. So I do the only thing that makes sense.
I run.
Now I take orders from a new player who pays well and asks one thing of me: collect his debts, or end the people who owe them. I've become good at the latter. Too good. My nights are fever dreams and hallucinations. My sanity becomes a joke. I am unraveling, and I don't know why.
Then my employer names his next target.
Don Hidalgo.
My husband.
My orders are simple: Infiltrate his villa. Bring back his head. Forget that his name makes something in my chest ache with recognition I cannot explain.
But nothing about Don Hidalgo is simple.
And the closer I get to him, the more I begin to suspect that I didn't stumble into this marriage by accident - that somewhere buried beneath the gaps in my memory is a truth far more dangerous than the man they've sent me to kill.
I was told to take his life.
What if he's the only one who can give mine back?

Stuck | 18+
Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?Complete

The Beast
HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me.

He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.Complete
