However, despite the already struggling life, things changed when her father old acquaintance, a cold ruthless mafia king seeks her hand. With hidden secrets, double life and a scarred past, Sera has no idea what's in store for her in her new world.

Loving the Ruthless Mafia King Chapter 1 Sera's POV

The banging and clattering broke through the thin walls like thunder, jarring Sera from her sleep. She blinked at the ceiling, disoriented, before realizing that the noise wasn't stopping. Cursing and the sound of cupboards slamming shut cut through the quiet. She rolled over and glanced at the small clock on her nightstand, squinting at the blurry red numbers-2:04 a.m.

With a heavy sigh, she rubbed her eyes, pushed herself out of bed, and tiptoed toward the kitchen. She knew this routine all too well, but tonight felt worse somehow, maybe because of how exhausted she was, maybe because she'd actually dared to hope things might improve after the recent scare with the mafia. But as she drew closer to the kitchen, her stomach knotted. He was there, opening and slamming cupboard doors, a whiskey bottle clutched loosely in one hand. She could see his glassy, unfocused eyes even from across the room.

"Dad?" she called softly, but he didn't look up, his muttering only getting louder as he fumbled around, knocking over containers and shoving aside dishes.

Finally, he opened the highest cupboard, his eyes lighting up with a twisted sense of triumph. Sera's heart plummeted as she saw him reach into the back, his hand emerging with her shoebox-the faded cardboard box that held every dollar she'd managed to save. She clamped a hand over her mouth, swallowing the panic rising in her chest, and stepped forward quickly.

"Dad, wait!" she said, her voice trembling as she tried to approach him calmly. "That's... That's my money. I need that."

He froze, his bloodshot eyes narrowing as he looked at her, the haze of alcohol making his gaze heavy and unfocused. "Your money?" he slurred, voice laced with irritation. "Where'd you get money, huh? Always whining about how poor we are..."

"Please, Dad, I worked for that money," she said, stepping closer, her hands outstretched in a silent plea. "It's for bills, for food-"

He cut her off with a sneer, swaying slightly as he held the shoebox just out of her reach. "I work too, you know! I work hard. But you're always complaining, acting like I don't do enough for you."

She tried again, her voice shaking with barely restrained desperation. "I'm not saying that, Dad. I just... we need that money, okay? Please, just give it back. I'm begging you."

But he only let out a bitter laugh, his gaze shifting to the contents of the box. "Look at this... a whole fifty bucks," he muttered, counting the small, crumpled bills with a sneer. "This won't even cover the beer I've had to put up with tonight." His words stung, a twisted mockery of all the late nights she'd spent scraping together pennies, just trying to survive.

"Dad, please-" she began again, moving forward to take the box from him. But before she could reach it, he shoved her back, his grip tightening around the money as he pocketed every last bill. The shove sent her stumbling backward, her body colliding with the floor. Pain radiated up her side, and she winced, blinking up at him in stunned silence.

He didn't seem to notice-or care-that she'd fallen. Instead, he muttered to himself, his fingers clutching the money with a kind of greedy satisfaction that made her heart ache.

"Dad, please, just... just think about what you're doing," she managed, her voice barely more than a whisper. "We barely have enough to make it through the week. I don't know how much longer we can... we can keep going like this."

Sera felt the tears pricking at her eyes, a painful lump rising in her throat as she struggled to keep her composure. "I don't want to be tough, Dad. I just... I want us to be okay. I want... I want us to have something normal, something better."

He didn't even seem to hear her.

With that, he stumbled toward the front door, his movements sluggish but determined. Sera pushed herself up from the floor, reaching out a hand as if to stop him, but he didn't look back. He barely even acknowledged her existence, his focus already elsewhere. He fumbled with the lock, swaying unsteadily, and then he was gone, disappearing into the night with her last fifty dollars crammed into his pocket.

The silence that followed was deafening. The apartment felt emptier than ever, the shadows thicker and colder in his absence. Sera stayed where she was, her knees tucked up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around herself, the weight of it all crashing down on her at once.

Her fingers trembled as she pressed her palms to her face, struggling to hold back the tears. She didn't want to cry; she was tired of crying. But as she sat there, alone in the darkened apartment, the bitter truth settled over her. She was on her own-truly, utterly on her own.

Tears burned in her eyes, but she forced herself to blink them back, taking in a shaky breath as she let the numbness settle over her like a shield. She would figure this out. She had to. Because if she didn't... no one else would.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
