Secrets, betrayal, and passion await. Will she become a pawn, or is there a chance she could take control of her fate? Find out what happens next...

Chapter 1 The Beginning of Submission

Isabella Monroe stood in the lavish penthouse of a Manhattan skyscraper, gazing out at the glittering city lights below. The world outside seemed so far away-so out of reach. Her once-thriving life as a socialite, a daughter of an affluent family, had crumbled to nothing. The man who had owned her heart had betrayed her, and now, she was bound to another. The mafia had claimed her. But she wasn't just anyone. She was his now.

The life Isabella once knew-full of glamour, high society events, and the freedom to be herself-was gone. Her father's fortune was wiped out by a series of bad investments, and her mother's health had deteriorated, leaving her family desperate. And when the last of their wealth was drained, Isabella had been sold. Not in the traditional sense, but in a much more terrifying way-she had been promised to one of New York's most feared men: Alexander Rossi. The mafia boss whose name sent shivers down the spine of every person in the city.

She hadn't met him yet. The stories she had heard about him, however, were enough to make anyone's blood run cold. Alexander was ruthless. A man with no mercy. Yet, there was a quiet power in his presence that she couldn't deny. It was as if he held the entire city in his hand, playing with it as a child would a toy.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the elevator doors sliding open. Isabella turned, heart racing, as a tall figure emerged from the shadows. Dressed in a sharp, black suit, Alexander Rossi stood there, his icy blue eyes locking onto hers. His face was unreadable, but there was something dark and magnetic in his gaze. He didn't smile. He didn't need to. His very presence was enough to demand attention.

"Isabella Monroe," his voice was deep, commanding, yet strangely calm. "I've been waiting for you."

Isabella's throat tightened. She had been warned about this moment-told that the first time they met would feel like an electric shock. But nothing could have prepared her for the intensity of his stare, the overwhelming sense of danger that radiated from him.

"I didn't have a choice," she said quietly, her voice betraying the fear she tried so hard to hide. "You know that."

A flicker of amusement passed over Alexander's face, but it quickly disappeared. "We all have choices, Isabella. You made yours the moment you walked into my world. Now, you belong to me."

Her heart thudded in her chest. She wasn't sure what she had expected from this encounter, but it definitely wasn't the cold, possessive tone of Alexander's words. He stepped closer, closing the distance between them. His cologne-a mix of leather and spice-was intoxicating, and Isabella fought the urge to step back.

"I've heard so much about you," she said, trying to sound braver than she felt. "You're the monster everyone talks about."

Alexander chuckled softly, the sound dark and dangerous. "A monster?" He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from her face. His touch was surprisingly soft, but Isabella could sense the power behind it. "Maybe. But I'm not the one who sold you, am I?"

She flinched at his words, and a wave of shame washed over her. Her father had promised her to Alexander as a way of securing the family's safety. The thought of it made her stomach churn.

"You'll learn quickly, Isabella," Alexander said, his voice low. "In my world, loyalty is everything. And betrayal? It's a crime that comes with a heavy price."

She swallowed hard, trying to find her voice. "And what happens to those who don't... betray you?"

Alexander's smile was slow, deliberate. "Those who don't betray me," he repeated, "get to survive. For now."

The chill in his words was unmistakable. She was no longer just Isabella Monroe. She was now a possession-a part of his empire. A game piece. And that thought sent a shiver down her spine.

As he turned and began to walk away, he paused at the door, glancing over his shoulder. "Get some rest, Isabella. Tomorrow, you'll start learning what it means to be mine."

The door closed behind him, and Isabella was left alone in the cold, empty room. Her heart pounded in her chest as the realization hit her: there was no going back. Her life, as she knew it, was over.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
