Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Complete
Vicious Obsession
Katya I made a terrible mistake the night of my brother's wedding. I had too much fun and ended up in bed with New York's notorious crime boss. He never told me his name, and I never told him mine. That was it until the two red lines on the pregnancy test. It was over for me at that moment. I was scared because I didn't know who the father was. I could go to Adrik, but that would make everything worse. My Mama would be ashamed of me for producing a baby when I wasn't married, especially since I gave that man my innocence. It was against our beliefs, and what I did tarnished my soul forever. It's my big secret, or so I thought. The devil has come to collect his dues, but I can do nothing about it. He controls everything and everyone and is the boss of all bosses. He knows what I did and will punish me for it. Gaetano I've watched her for years. That night on the yacht, we did something that was never part of the plan. The worst part of it was the blood she coated me in. It was only an obsession, but Katya Mikhailova begged me to take her innocence, her worst mistake. I formed a plan to steal her from my enemy, Adrik Mikhailov, but there was no plan after that night. She was mine to keep. I waited and offered territory, but it was the worst thing I did. She stole from me, and her brother has his business in my territory. It wasn't her decision, but I regretted not coming to her sooner. Katya will pay for the sin she has committed, and I'll burn her with my flames.
