"Little mouse, the next time I have to repeat something to you, I'll have to take you over my knee"; I shuddered. The thought of him taking me over his knee made me hot for some unknown reason. I sat carefully on his laps, my legs to the side. He turned me so I straddled him.
He caressed my sides and leaned into my neck. He sucked on the side of my neck and I tilted my head to give him better access. He scraped my neck gently and I moaned. I felt super sensitive all over my body.

"What’s wrong with you?"Dominico’s frustration was evident as he stepped closer.
"Don’t touch me!"I whisper-yelled, unable to muster anything louder. My heart was pounding in my chest, thumping so hard it felt like it would break free.
Heat.
"Shit. You’re going into heat?" Dominico’s voice broke through, and I felt him grab me again, this time pulling me into his chest.
Before I could dwell on it, Dominico’s scent—strong, earthy, filled with sandalwood—intensified. His arms wrapped around me, and the heat in my body blazed hot for a second before, suddenly, it plummeted. His hands gently caressed my back, and for a fleeting moment, I relaxed.

“Good girl…”

The deep, whispered voice cuts through the silence, raising goosebumps along my skin and reverberating through my body in the darkness of the cabin.

So real it freezes me in place, sending my heart racing with pure terror.

I’m not alone.

I want to scream, but nothing comes out. The sound stays trapped in my throat, locked down by fear.

Without looking back, my first instinct is to run.

But before I can take a second step, the wooden floor vanishes beneath me as strong arms wrap around my waist, lifting me off the ground.

My scream is smothered by a large gloved hand as I struggle.

“Shhh,” he whispers against my ear. “Don’t scream… (…) It’s useless. No one will hear you… there’s no one around…”

Suddenly, he turns my body, pinning my arms behind my back.

Breathless, I force myself to lift my face and look at him, but all I can see in the darkness is a black mask covering almost his entire face, revealing only his eyes and mouth.

I swallow hard, a new shiver running across my skin as I meet the intense, shadowed stare behind the mask.

I’m paralyzed again. Only now, not just from fear.
There’s something else—something I can’t understand or control.
Something that holds me still, trapped in his gaze when I should be screaming and trying to escape.

(…)

“I’m not leaving… not until you show me why you want me here so much. And you do want me.”
He slides his fingers along my cheek, a touch that makes me question my own sanity.

“So show me, little flame.”

“This… this is sick,” I breathe, fighting the way his gaze makes my skin burn.

“Then why are you so wet?”

“Strip.” He ordered simply, his eyes boring tentatively, “I'll not give you the liberty of picking up your clothes if you will not do as you're told.”
“You married me to get revenge on me!” I spat, angrily. “You are not supposed to have any carnal knowledge of me, I won't let it happen.”
He smiled. The same smile that cuts across his lips yet doesn't reach his face.
“You want me to have sex with you?”
“Isn't that what you mean by stripping?”
I asked, confusion boldly written on my face. A loud, dry mocking laugh from him almost made me wish for death.
“No wife.” He whispered, standing up from the bed towards me. “I don't want to see any of my properties on you in my house, I want you tattered and extremely void, I want to see what you will do when you're all bare before me.” I stumbled backwards at the hatred in his voice. “I want to see you at your lowest, Now strip!”

I have recurring dreams about a mysterious man who watches over me as I sleep. But I know he can’t be real—at least, that’s what I thought until today.

I’ve spent my life running with my mother. She always said we couldn’t stay in one place for more than six months. Whenever I asked why, she never gave me an answer.

On my 18th birthday, I decided to apply to university. I thought it was a good way to start adulthood. I should’ve listened to my mother.

The consequence of disobeying her came that same day. The reason we’ve been running all these years was to escape my sadistic, mafia father. His first words to me were: “You showed up at the perfect age to get married. Go get ready to meet your fiancé.”

I had to behave—for the sake of my mother’s safety.

My fiancé was old enough to be my grandfather and looked at me like I was his favorite dessert. But he wasn’t the one who caught my attention. His son did.

Standing beside the man I was promised to… was the man from my dreams, in the flesh—dangerous, tempting, and very real.

All I want now is to find a way to escape, but now that I know he exists, I realize I won’t get very far.

Ayla:

I grew up shielded from the Mafia lifestyle... until a merciless killer got his eyes on me.
Alessio Razone. Mysterious, intense, and ruthless. A decade my senior, with enough influence to bind me in an arranged marriage from which there's no escape.
His demand for obedience is startling. I'm treated more like a possession than a spouse. Yet, why does his rough, possessive demeanor feel oddly fitting?
With each surrender, I sink deeper into darkness. Unveiling desires I never knew existed.
Desires I should resist.
It would be simple to surrender. But if I relent, will he shatter me?

Alessio:

Ayla's innocence is a blank canvas, and I'm determined to leave my mark. Indelibly.
The offspring of our family's greatest adversary, she's mine to shape however I please.
She'll submit to me, or I'll annihilate her.
I'm too damaged for love, but I'll relish in molding Ayla into my obedient plaything. When she complies, I'll ignite her passion. When she defies, she'll face consequences.
Our union is nothing more than this. She's my fixation, but she'll never truly comprehend me.
If I allow Ayla to glimpse behind my façade, she'll discover my true self.
And that would spell ruin for us both.

“Have you ever considered the possibility that the universe sometimes sends your nemesis in form of a person? To deal with you for all the wrongs you have ever committed.”

I don’t answer that question mainly because I don’t know how to. I feel his stare hot against the side of my face, the hatred surging through my skin. I am compelled to speak.

“No… I haven’t”. My voice is shaky, betraying me. I keep my stare trained on the textbook in front of me as I say, “I haven’t done that many wrongs”

I hear his low laugh. He is amused by my confidence. Or audacity. “I think you have”. He says with a sly grin. “And your nemesis has only just begun his work.”

I peel my eyes from the book slowly to stare at him. His gaze is hard, his face stoic. “Who…”. My words trail off but he gets it. He knows what I am asking him.

Who is my nemesis?

I watched my fiancé put a bullet through my parents' heads before he blew my brains out—so why am I staring at my own funeral on the car radio?

"Splash!" The icy water woke me up to a nightmare. I had been tied to a chair in a godforsaken warehouse for three days without food or water.

Standing before me was Kurt, the man I was supposed to marry, and clinging to his arm was Vera, my best friend of seven years. They didn't just kidnap me; they drained my billionaire empire dry.

"Let's just kill her and get it over with!" Vera pouted, playing with my fiancé's chest.

I refused to beg. I promised them the Vaughn family would skin them alive. But Kurt just laughed, snapping his fingers. Thugs dragged my parents in and threw them to the blood-soaked floor. Before I could even scream, Kurt pulled the trigger. Two bullets. Two dead bodies.

"NO!!!" I thrashed against the ropes, tearing my skin to the bone. Kurt just smiled, pointed the gun at my forehead, and whispered, "I never loved you."

Boom. A gaping red hole in my head. Darkness.

But then… I jerked awake.

I wasn't in hell. I was in the passenger seat of a moving car, looking into a rearview mirror at a face that wasn't mine. Black hair, striking green eyes.

"Have you gone deaf, you stupid country bumpkin?!" my new "step-sister" screeched from the driver's seat. "You're marrying into the Graves family today as a substitute! You're marrying the paralyzed vegetable, Lucian Graves!"

My heart stopped. Lucian Graves? My biggest, most ruthless rival in the business world?

The radio crackled: "Breaking News: Heiress Elara Vaughn and her parents found brutally murdered..."

I touched my new face as a vicious, bloodthirsty smile spread across my lips. Kurt. Vera. You thought you killed the Queen. But I've just been reborn.

And my new, comatose husband is going to help me destroy you.
