IN HIS RUTHLESS GAMES

Three days before her wedding, Stefhanie Rexanne Villafuerte disappears without a trace.
The world believes she ran away from her groom-too afraid, too weak, too guilty to face her vows. But the truth is far more dangerous.
She was taken.
Abducted by Baron Kyro Mendez-the most feared Mafia Baron-who believes Stefhanie is responsible for the death of his twin brother. To Kyro, she is not an innocent bride-to-be... she is a criminal who deserves punishment far worse than prison.
And Baron Mendez does not believe in mercy.
"I will make your life worse than you ever imagined, Villafuerte."
But justice, in his hands, is twisted into something darker. Instead of sending her to jail, he binds her to him-forcing her into a marriage built on revenge, control, and cruelty. Every day becomes a calculated punishment. Every touch a reminder that escape is impossible.
Until the truth begins to fracture everything he thought he knew.
Because the woman he kidnapped... is not Stefhanie Villafuerte.
She is Hera Briggite Vergara.
Stefhanie's twin sister.
And now the man who vowed to avenge his brother's death has made a fatal mistake-punishing the wrong woman while the real one remains somewhere in the shadows.
But by the time Baron realizes the truth, it is already too late.
Because Hera is no longer just a substitute for revenge...
She is the consequence of his ruthless games.
And in a world built on blood, lies, and mistaken identities-love is the most dangerous punishment of all.
