"He didn't marry me for love. He married me to own me." When Amira Monroe is sold off to settle her father's debt, she becomes the unwilling bride of Leonardo Vercetti-ruthless billionaire, mafia boss, and the coldest man she's ever met. Locked away in his golden mansion, Amira is no wife. She's a prisoner, a plaything, a possession. But beneath the cruelty lies something darker... and more broken. Leonardo is hiding secrets-dangerous ones. And the deeper Amira digs, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth that could destroy them both. She promised to protect her sister. She swore she'd escape. But what happens when hatred turns to obsession... and freedom starts to taste like his kiss? She walked into his world to destroy him. She never expected to fall for the devil in disguise. ---

Sold to the devil Chapter 1 Sold to the devil

--

It rained the night her life was traded. Not that it mattered to the man who signed her away.

Amira Monroe sat stiffly in the corner of the dark room, the cold of the storm leaking through the cracked window behind her. Her long curls clung to her skin, soaked from the short walk to the building. Her father hadn't even offered her an umbrella.

She wasn't surprised. He never cared about her. Never shielded her from the bruises of life. Never gave her love, only orders. And tonight, he was giving her away.

The contract sat on the mahogany table between two men. Her father, Charles Monroe, an aging gambler in debt, and Leonardo Vercetti, the man they called the Devil in a designer suit.

Leonardo didn't speak much. He didn't need to. Power sat on him like a crown. Tall, broad, young-only twenty-four-but the deadliest man alive. His wealth was beyond comprehension. His cruelty, legendary.

He tapped a gold pen against the table, looking bored.

"She'll do," Leonardo said after one glance at Amira. "Sign it."

Her father didn't hesitate. Didn't flinch. He signed his name with a cold smirk and pushed the document forward like he was closing a real estate deal.

"That's it?" Amira asked, her voice low, hoarse.

Charles turned to her, dry-eyed and unapologetic. "Be grateful I picked you and not your sister."

Her stomach twisted.

She stood up, fists clenched. "You're selling me to a monster."

"He's rich. You'll live better than you ever have here."

"And if I say no?"

"I'll marry off your sister instead," he said flatly. "He agreed to take either of you."

Amira froze.

He wouldn't.

But the look in his eyes told her everything. He would. And he'd sleep like a baby afterward.

Her little sister, Aria-sweet, soft, only sixteen-wouldn't survive a man like Leonardo. Not even a day.

Amira's heart dropped into her stomach. The air thickened with the weight of her silence. She swallowed hard.

"I'll go," she said quietly. "Leave Aria out of this."

Leonardo stood, adjusting the cuffs of his black shirt. "Good girl. Be ready in the morning."

The mansion was a fortress.

Massive iron gates. Armed guards. Security cameras at every corner. White stone walls and endless glass windows, shining like ice. It didn't feel like a home. It felt like a castle built by a man who wanted to be untouchable.

Leonardo didn't welcome her when she arrived. He simply walked away.

She was escorted to a large, cold bedroom by a silent maid. The bed was king-sized. The sheets were black silk. There were no pictures, no flowers, no warmth. Just space. Sterile. Owned.

Dinner came, untouched. She wasn't hungry.

The silence in the room roared around her. Her body was tense, her mind louder. She sat at the edge of the bed, hands in her lap, staring into nothing.

The door opened at midnight.

Leonardo stepped in without a word, his presence enough to darken the room.

He didn't ask. He didn't wait.

"Take off your clothes," he said.

She looked up, heart skipping.

"Now," he added.

Amira stood slowly, her fingers trembling as she reached for the straps of her dress. She felt humiliated. Powerless. But she moved. Obedience was survival here.

He watched her with icy detachment, like she was a thing to be inspected. When she stood bare before him, his eyes moved down her body, slow and sharp.

"You're beautiful," he muttered, stepping closer.

His hands were rough. Possessive. He touched her like she was already his. She didn't cry. She didn't beg. She lay there, still, silent, her mind somewhere far away.

His weight pinned her. His breath was hot against her neck. There was no gentleness in his touch, no emotion in his voice. Only command. Only dominance.

When it was over, he didn't say a word.

He stood, dressed, and walked out like she didn't matter. Like she wasn't real.

Amira lay there, cold and aching, staring at the ceiling. She had no idea how much time passed.

But one thing was clear.

She was married to a man with no heart.

And the life ahead of her had just become a living, breathing hell.

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The Billionaire's Secret Triplets: Mom's Revenge

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."
