Our gaze locks studying me like he's trying to piece something together. My breath catches in my throat. There's a deep, jagged scar that runs from beneath his left eye down to just under his ear. Instead of making him look rough, it only adds to his untamed, dangerous sex appeal. My eyes drift lower, down to his neck. A dragon tattoo. The moment I see it, my body tenses. He didn't flinch under my stare. He is breathtaking-mysterious, dark, and dangerously sexy. Every inch of him radiates strength, from his broad shoulders to the way his muscles flex under his shirt. There's something raw and powerful about him, something that sends desires down my clits I swallow hard, my throat dry. My gaze is fixed on his onyx eyes, so dark as they blend into the shadows. But there's something eerily familiar. "Why are you here?" His voice is low, almost a whisper, as his fingers trail down my cheek, tracing the curve of my jaw with a slow touch. "I... I don't-" My voice is tangled in a haze of alcohol and something far more dangerous. A smirk tugs at his lips. "I know what you're thinking," he murmurs, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth. "You want me to take you. To make you forget." Heat floods my body, and I can't stop myself from nodding. "Just for tonight," I breathe. "Make me forget." *** Alessia's arranged marriage to Vincenzo Moretti is meant to end a bloody feud between their families. But fate twists their destiny when they share a passionate night before the wedding. Vincenzo's contempt for Alessia's recklessness ignites a fiery tension between them. As they go through the dark world of mafia politics, Alessia must confront her worth when her father brands her a "chased bride." Will their marriage be the key to peace, or will it ignite a new wave of violence? Will their love survive Vincenzo's darkness, family secrets, and the weight of their families' hatred? Can Alessia redeem herself in Vincenzo's eyes, or will their union be forever tainted by the secrets of their past?

His Promised Chaste Bride Chapter 1 Alessia

Alessia

"Are you sure about this, Alessia? We can go back if you're getting cold feet about your decision," Livia whispers in my ear.

I can't believe what she's saying right now. We agreed on this before we even left the house.

So I glare at her. "You can go back if you don't want to be here," I snapped, with a sharp voice.

The neon light reflects on her wide eyes as she stares at the building, Then she looks back at me, with a grin slowly spreading on her face.

"No way! Let's do it, girl. I've been waiting for a night like this," she says in excitement.

I take a deep breath. Tonight, I am not just Alessia, I am a regular girl at a club, ready to drown my sorrows in loud music and strong drinks. Even if it only numbs the pain for a while.

I know I should turn back. My dad is going to be furious when he finds out about this.

But do I care? No.

Not when my heart is shattered into pieces. Not when I can't bring myself to feel anything except this unbearable ache.

Tonight, I just want to forget.

The two guards standing outside with an unreadable expression he push the door open without a word,

With Livia right behind me, I make my way to the bar, my heels clicking against the floor. But as I get closer, a small voice in my head whispers, 'This is a big mistake.'

Being the only daughter of Leonardo Rossini the head of one of the most powerful mafia families in Italy sucks.

People think it's glamorous, but they don't see the chains. They don't understand that my life is never my own.

I can't make a fucking move without being watch by someone from the shadows.

They are there, when I cry, when I laugh, when I breathe. It feels so suffocating like there's no escape.

I scan the room, the dim light and the thick haze of smoke curls in the air.

I watch as women dance around poles, as their bodies move to the heavy beat of the music.

Men are not left out they sit at tables, watching, drinking, whispering with the scent of alcohol and expensive cigars in the air.

The ear-piercing music playing drowns the voice in my head screaming that this is a bad idea.

Without a word I turned to the waiter. He understands. He places a bottle of alcohol and two glasses in front of us before disappearing into the crowd.

Livia wastes no time. She twists off the lid, pouring the golden liquid into our glasses. Her hands tremble slightly as she looks around.

"We can take this and leave. What if someone recognizes you?" She says with a tight voice.

I roll my eyes and chuckle. "No one will, Livi." I pick up my glass, I slowly twirl the liquid before taking a sip. The burn is sharp, but I welcome it.

"Relax Livia, my father has kept me locked away my whole life, no one knows what I look like."

She sighs, as she scans the room as if someone is about to jump out any minute and drag us home. "I think he's just trying to protect you from his world," she says softly.

I shake my head with a scoff. "Protect me?" I repeat. "You mean to make me invisible? Keep me locked away like some secret he's too ashamed to let the world see?"

Livia didn't argue. She just stares at me with something I can't stand. 'Pity.'

That's all anyone ever does. Look at me with pity.

I let out a sharp breath as I try to push down the lump rising in my throat. Tonight, I don't want pity. I don't want thoughts of my father and his world.

Tonight, I just want to be different.

My heart feels tight in my chest as if it's being squeezed from the inside.

I think about Marco, my ex-boyfriend; I thought he loved me as much as I loved him. But no. He chose someone else. He couldn't choose me. And to make it worse, he didn't just leave, he breaks my fragile heart completely with his words.

"I never felt anything for you."

The memory of his voice etched on my mind and it feels like a knife twisting my heart. My throat tightens, and I barely hear myself over the loud music as I whisper, 'He never loved me.'

And just when I thought I'm healing from that heartbreak, my father dropped a bombshell on me last night. He didn't ask. He didn't care. He simply decided my fate for me.

In two days, I am getting married.

Livia watches me carefully, with sympathy. "Alessia, your father has your best interests at heart," she says gently.

"You know he was never going to approve of your relationship with Marco. In your world, love doesn't matter. It has to be arranged."

I clench my fists, as my nails dig into my palms. She's right. I know that. But knowing doesn't make it hurt any less.

I reach for the glass in front of me, desperate to drown the ache clawing at my chest. But before I can grab it, Livia tries to pull it away.

I shoot her a glare.

She hesitates but later leaves it, while she watches as I lift the glass to my lips.

I gulp it down in one go, the burning liquid scorching my throat. But I didn't stop. I need the pain to go numb.

"My father only cares about allying with his enemies. To him, this marriage is nothing more than a strategy. A way to gain power. To expand his territory."

"He's doing it so Vincenzo will be a strong ally when rival gangs come for us. As long as I play my role as his loyal wife, he wins."

With a trembling hand I slam the empty glass down on the table. Livia didn't say a word. She just keeps looking at me with that same expression.

Pity.

She knows every word I'm saying is true.

Without any interruption, I gulp down the alcohol, glass after glass, until the ache in my chest is dulls. For the first time tonight, I can breathe without feeling like I'm going to break down.

But beneath the temporary relief, the truth remains, I don't know where I stand in my own life. I don't have the freedom to choose anything. Not my future. Not my happiness. Not even the man I will spend the rest of my life with.

Everything about me has already been decided.

My vision starts to blur, the room swaying in and out of focus. The heavy beat of the music thrums in my veins, syncing with my heartbeat.

My senses are heightened, every sound becomes sharper, every light brighter. Everything around me moves in slow motion, as if the world is spinning but I am standing still.

Suddenly, something pulls me from my haze.

I lift my head, scanning the room, and my gaze falls on a man sitting alone in the corner of the club. His back is to me, his shoulder is broad and unmoving, as if he doesn't belong here.

He must have felt my eyes on him because, at that exact moment, he turned.

Our eyes meet from across the room.

A strange, electric pulse shoots through my body, making my breath hitch. My skin prickles, my nerves light up, and I shudder under his stare. It's intense but I can't look away.

Something about him draws me in, and before I can stop myself, my body moves on its own.

The alcohol has started to take its toll. I know it. I can feel it.

I push up from my seat too fast, with my shaky legs. The floor tilts, and for a second, I stagger. But after a deep breath, I steady myself.

And then, without a second thought, I make my way toward him.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

One Night With The Wrong Brother

Tangye Wanzi

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
