Devoted - A Lorenzo de Medici Fanfiction by hauntingem

Amid the golden age of Florence, Alessia Orsini, a noblewoman from Rome, enters into a politically driven marriage with Lorenzo de' Medici, the man destined to shape history as Il Magnifico. But beyond the splendor of the Medici court lies a city on the brink of transformation-where love, betrayal, and power intertwine, and the line between loyalty and ambition is ever-blurred. As Alessia navigates the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and whispered intrigues, she finds herself torn between duty and heart. Her growing affection for Lorenzo is overshadowed by the presence of Lucrezia Donati, his long-time muse and mistress. Yet Alessia is no passive pawn-determined to carve her own path, she immerses herself in charitable work, bringing hope to Florence's most vulnerable and forging her own legacy in a city ruled by men. But Florence is far more than art and culture. Political tensions rise as the Pazzi family plots against the Medici, the Vatican schemes for influence, and distant cities like Imola and Volterra become critical to Florence's future. With war and treachery looming, Alessia must stand by her husband in both the political arena and their personal trials-challenging his actions when necessary, offering guidance, and protecting their growing family.

The Caged Rose by chipmuncks07

When he married Seraphina Moretti, it was supposed to be a fairy tale-until he discovered a damning secret about her past. A betrayal that shattered every ounce of love he had for her. Consumed by rage, he exiles Seraphina to his Sicilian estate, a sprawling palace surrounded by cliffs and guarded like a fortress. He refuses to see her, refuses to listen. Instead, he assigns his most trusted enforcer-Matteo Ricci-to watch over her. But Matteo is no ordinary bodyguard. He doesn't just want to protect her-he wants to possess her. He's a man with no conscience, no moral lines. And he wants Seraphina-badly. Where Lorenzo's cold indifference cuts her deep, Matteo's twisted obsession suffocates her. He likes to remind her that her husband abandoned her, that she is nothing more than a caged bird with clipped wings. He taunts her, isolates her, makes her feel like she's drowning.

That he feels nothing when he hears about how Matteo lingers too close, how Seraphina still refuses to bow. But the moment he learns the truth- that he's been punishing the only woman who ever truly loved him- Oh. He snaps. Now, there's only one thing left for him to do: Burn the world to the ground to get his wife back. But the damage is done. Seraphina might still love him.

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I) by oned_coolR9

"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadows
