"I said I do to the man I hate the most... but why does my heart betray me every time he says my name?"

Aria Lancaster never expected her freedom to be traded for a marriage contract. But when her family's empire teeters on the edge of collapse, she's forced to marry Leon Calderon-the cold, calculating heir of the very mafia dynasty that destroyed her world.

Leon doesn't want a wife. He wants leverage. Aria is just another pawn in a decades-old game of power, secrets, and revenge.

But neither of them expected the tension. The fire. The slow unraveling of hatred into something dangerous-something real.

As hidden truths surface and enemies close in, Aria must decide: Will she destroy the Calderons from the inside like she swore... or fall for the man she was meant to ruin?All Rights Reserved

Wrong Bride To The Right Husband by Romanc_Empire

Aria is the beautiful, smart, and beloved daughter-praised by everyone and trusted with their father's company. But her twin sister, Alina, lives constantly in her shadow-unseen, uncelebrated, and forced to work under Aria's command. When Aria causes a major financial loss to a powerful, mysterious company owned by an unknown billionaire, their father is forced to pay a large sum in compensation. But it's not enough. In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision. Alina is forced to marry the unknown CEO in Aria's place. She's terrified-of the marriage, the man, and the new life ahead. No one knows what he looks like, and he's never appeared in the media. He's a complete enigma. Alina's first night in the mansion is unsettling-she's kissed from behind by a stranger while humming a song known only to her and a long-lost love. The kiss stirs something in her, something painfully familiar. And when she finally meets her husband, Darren Blackwood, she's stunned. He looks familiar-too familiar-but she can't place him. As days pass, memories from eight years ago start surfacing. Clues hidden in the house, songs, and gestures slowly unravel the truth: Darren is the man who once loved her and vanished from her life. The heartbreak returns-but so does the spark. Their love story reignites, beginning with slow trust and deep emotion. But Aria, full of jealousy and rage, isn't done. She wages a subtle war to tear them apart, using lies and manipulation to destroy Alina's newfound happiness. Yet, against the odds, and despite the pain of the past, Darren and Alina prove that love-true, hard-earned love-can conquer even the deepest wounds and fiercest enemies.
