Cord3lia

"My wedding was supposed to happen today," Serena whispered, her voice dry and bitter. "I haven't gotten used to not being with him."
"Then let me help you forget about him. You needed a distraction, didn't you?" Ralph asked, his eyes daring.
I laughed, breathless. "That's an understatement of the century."
"Yeah?" Nik leaned in, his gaze hungry. "Then let us distract you."
Us.
Two days before her wedding, Serena Vale thought she had it all: love, stability, a new job, a perfect future. That is, until she discovers her fiancé's betrayal—and his shocking lack of remorse. Broken-hearted and running from her own life, she escapes on what was supposed to be her honeymoon... only to collide with two dangerously powerful billionaires.
Rafael and Nikolai are supposed to be rivals, yet they share one desire: Serena Vale. They both want her. They both claim her. And neither is willing to let her go.
Caught between heartbreak and temptation, past and passion, Serena must navigate a world where desire can be deadly, love is a battlefield, and surrender might be the only way to survive.

"Let's make a deal."
"Six months. I give you six months. If you fall in love with me within that time frame, I will kill you. If you don't, your freedom is guaranteed." He gave me a sinister smile. If I looked hard enough, I'd see the horns on his head, portraying him as the devil he really was.
"Deal?" Everything in me was screaming to say no and get the f**k away from him. I knew I was going against everything I know when I said, "Deal."
Jordan Miller is a twenty-year-old engineering student drowning in debt and secrets she cannot afford to expose. What started as a desperate way to survive pulls her straight into the hands of the most dangerous man in the city.
Alessandro Maurizio doesn't tolerate risks. And Jordan is one. She was supposed to be eliminated. Instead, he locks her inside his world. What begins as control turns into a ruthless game. He trains her. Tests her. Uses her as bait in a war between powerful mafia families.
And with every step deeper into his violent empire, Jordan stops being the girl who was trying to survive... and becomes someone far more dangerous.
Because Alessandro doesn't just control. He claims. And once he does, he never lets go.
But the rules of the deal never changed.
Fall in love, and she dies. Walk away, and she's free.
So why does it feel like he has no intention of letting her go?

"Make love to me." I pleaded. I wasn't thinking straight and I was only doing this to get back at Benjamin but the way Saint was currently looking at me did not help with my decision making. "Make love to you?" He repeated. He was probably baffled seeing as I was dating his nephew.
"Yes." I didn't back down. Saint took a few steps closer to me, making me falter. Was he finally going to throw me out of his room for talking such nonsense? I held my breath as I waited for the inevitable rejection. "I don't make love, mia cara. I fuck."
When Adriana Jensen catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, her first idea is to get back at him by sleeping with his uncle, Saint, but when she is rejected by him, she sees it as a challenge and stops at nothing to make him break before their trip is over.
What starts as revenge soon turns into a fake relationship, one that comes with a price: being under his control, following his orders, and living by his rules.
Saint Rossi has no business lusting after his nephew's girlfriend but he cannot help his obsession, especially after she boldly gives herself to him. He tries his best to stay away from her because she is too good to be brought into his darkness, but it seems like fate had other plans for the pair.
