Sebastian Moretti knew no mercy. As the sole heir to the Moretti crime dynasty, he was raised with blood and power as his inheritance. To him, love was nothing but a weakness-an illusion that had once destroyed his family. His mother, the woman who was supposed to protect him, had betrayed his father for another man-their family's greatest enemy. Now, with the Moretti mafia empire in his hands, Sebastian had only one goal: to rule with absolute power. But everything changed when Luca Moretti, his aging father, issued an ultimatum he couldn't ignore. "You must marry and produce an heir, or I'll give Moretti to someone else." Marriage? An heir? That was never part of his plan. Sebastian preferred to rule with an iron fist, not be tied down by a relationship that could only lead to betrayal. But refusing meant losing everything. When a woman from the very family that had once betrayed them suddenly became his only option, Sebastian faced an unexpected dilemma. Accepting this marriage meant inviting an enemy into his life, but rejecting it meant betraying his own father. And for the first time in his life, Sebastian Moretti wasn't sure which was more dangerous-falling in love or being betrayed again.

Chapter 1 The Inevitable Choice

Sebastian Moretti sat in his father's lavish office, his sharp gaze fixed on the panoramic view of the city below. The towering skyscrapers, the dark alleyways, the bustling streets-all of it was under his control. Everything in his life had always been under his control, from the empire his family had built to the ruthless power he wielded. There was nothing in this world that could shake him, nothing that could make him doubt his position. He was the undisputed heir to the Moretti crime dynasty, and for that, he had sacrificed everything.

Except love.

Love had always been a weakness. A dangerous, deceiving force that could destroy you when you least expected it. That was the lesson Sebastian had learned at a young age. His mother, the one woman who was supposed to protect him, had abandoned him and his father without a second thought. She had left them to chase a man-a rival mafia boss who had once been the greatest threat to their family's reign. The pain of that betrayal had been seared into his memory, and it had shaped the man he became: cold, unfeeling, and ruthless.

And now, his father, Luca Moretti, lay in a hospital bed, weakened by age and illness, asking him to do something he never thought he would have to do.

"You must marry, Sebastian," Luca's voice was hoarse, filled with the weight of his years. "You need to secure an heir. Without it, the empire will crumble. Moretti needs its future. I need you to protect it."

Sebastian clenched his jaw, the words hanging in the air like a heavy burden. He had never imagined a day like this would come. His father, the man who had built the Moretti legacy with blood, sweat, and ruthless ambition, was now pleading with him to carry the torch forward. And the only way to do that was through marriage.

The very idea repulsed him.

Marriage was a chain. A bond. It meant vulnerability, something Sebastian could not afford. He had never trusted anyone enough to let them into his life, and after what had happened with his mother, he wasn't sure he ever would. Love was for the weak. It was an illusion.

But his father's words weighed heavily on his conscience. If he didn't marry, if he didn't produce an heir, the empire would fall into chaos. The Moretti name, built over generations, would be reduced to dust. Sebastian's pride would never allow that. He would never let their enemies take what was rightfully theirs.

But the question remained: Who could he marry? And why did it have to be now?

The Moretti family had enemies on every side-rivals who would do anything to see their empire crumble. Trusting someone with the legacy of the Moretti name was impossible. But there was one name, one family, that kept resurfacing in his thoughts: the Cantu family.

The Cantus had once been close allies of the Morettis. But when betrayal ran through their veins like a poison, the alliance had turned into bitter rivalry. And now, the Cantu name was forever tied to one woman-Elena Cantu.

Sebastian knew her well. Too well.

She had been the daughter of the man who had tried to destroy his family, the woman who had been at the heart of the betrayal that had torn his world apart. And yet, despite everything, she was now the only one who could secure his future. She was the key to the Moretti empire's survival, whether he liked it or not.

Elena Cantu. His enemy. His past. And, according to his father's demand, his future.

Sebastian gritted his teeth. This was not a choice, it was an ultimatum. A cold, calculated decision he had no control over. And in that moment, he realized just how deep the power of fate and family ran.

His father's voice broke through his thoughts, weak but unwavering. "Do this for the family, Sebastian. Do this for the empire."

The weight of the Moretti name pressed down on him like an unrelenting force. For a moment, he considered the cost-the personal cost-and the turmoil that would surely follow. But the reality was unavoidable. His father was right. The empire could not survive without an heir, and the Morettis were never ones to back down from what they had set their sights on.

"Fine," Sebastian muttered, the word tasting bitter on his tongue. "I'll marry her."

But as he spoke those words, a part of him knew-nothing would ever be the same again. The moment he entered into a marriage with Elena Cantu, it wouldn't just be a union of families. It would be a war. A battle for power. A battle for control. And Sebastian Moretti had never backed down from a fight in his life.

The stage was set. And the game was about to begin.

Just because of a small incident during the village festival, Elara Mahesa suddenly had to marry a stranger-Kieran Aditya Ravindra. A massive misunderstanding occurred when the villagers found them in a suspicious situation inside an old storage house. Rumors spread quickly, and to protect Elara's honor and prevent the 'ancestral curse' that the villagers believed would befall them if they didn't marry, they were forced into a wedding within 24 hours. However, the marriage wasn't just sudden-it also had to be kept a secret. Elara's status as Kieran's wife had to be hidden because he was actually the heir of the powerful Ravindra family. His father, a wealthy businessman with political ambitions, had already arranged for Kieran to marry another woman for the sake of the family's interests. If news of their marriage got out, everything-including his father's carefully planned future-could collapse. Elara, who had once lived a peaceful life in the village, suddenly found herself trapped in a world of power plays and wealthy family intrigues. Meanwhile, Kieran couldn't simply ignore Elara's existence. The longer they stayed together, the harder it became to pretend that their marriage was just a 'mistake.' But what happens when their secret is exposed? Will Elara remain as Kieran's hidden wife, or will she choose to walk away from the man who has unexpectedly captured her heart? And will Kieran have the courage to defy his family and fight for the woman who was forced into his life? What started as a misunderstanding soon unraveled a far bigger secret. Will they find happiness in the end, or will their complicated reality tear them apart?

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
