Chapter 1 ONE

ONE

"He's dead,Isa," Nina, her chambermaid said softly,and reached out to pull Isabelle close to her,her arms warm and comforting against the sudden chills that racked Isabelle's body. "Your papá is dead."

The door opened as soon as Nina dropped the news. An older chambermaid who wasn't close to Isabelle walked in with a dress on her hands.Walking towards the bed,she lay the dress there.

"Get dressed! You have visitors.Your uncle Don Francesco will not like to be kept waiting. You must hurry up," she stated,unbothered by the position she had met them.

Isabelle sat on the floor,mute and frozen at the spot.She needed time to process the news.

Her papá was dead?

No it couldn't be.

She felt a hand grab her as she was pulled up from the floor.

"Didn't you hear what I just said? Get dressed!" she repeated,this time around with more aggression.

Isabelle wasn't sure what was happening.She just knew one thing...her uncle had taken over. The door closed after Nina and in the room she remained with Giulia.

She let the dress she wore fall to her feet as she picked up the dress,laying on the bed for her.

Something was happening,but she didn't know what.

Looking at the mirror,she clutched at the sides of the dress.She felt empty...dead.

Her nipples were visible for anyone to see through the thin silk fabric. Her curves-her body was there for anyone to see.

The dress couldn't hide her pain neither could it hide her naked body.

"Stop it! You will ruin the dress.I'm sure you don't want your uncle getting angry," Giulia said, grabbing her hand again. "Let's go.They're waiting."

They made their way through the hallway with Giulia holding her hand firmly.She didn't want to take chances.And right now,Isabelle felt she was right to do so,

because right now she wanted nothing more than to run away.

The sound of men's laughter and wine glasses clicking against each other greeted her as they neared the biggest room in the house.

How many men were there?

She got her reply as she walked into the room to meet the lustful gazes of men eating her up-all the way down.She felt like they were undressing her with their eyes and she got extremely uncomfortable.

She needed to get out of here.

The guards weren't hiding that they were ogling her.

"Ahh! There she is,my beautiful niece," she heard her uncle say as he pointed towards her.A surge of defiance riled up within her.Her father was dead and he was drinking?

She turned quickly and headed towards the door, pushing Giulia away from her.

"Get her! Do not let her escape," Don Francesco ordered,standing immediately on his feet.

Isabelle ran as fast as she could,with guards running after her.She got close to a ceramic long vase,making sure to let it crash on the floor to slow them down on their chase.

And just as she had gotten to the exit,the sound of a gunshot stopped her on her tracks.

"Isabelle don't make me consider killing you," her uncle uttered,his voice loud enough for her to hear.

The guards held her tightly, dragging her towards the room and onto the podium.

Don Francesco walked towards her,giving her a glare and turning his eyes back to the men.

"My niece here is so enthusiastic to get married...that I can assure you," he stated,his face beaming with smiles.He let his hands caress her hair and slowly let it drop to hold her hand.The feeling of disgust increasing by the moment.

He gazed at her again lustfully,licking his lips.He urged her to turn around for the men.She knew better than to disobey.

"My beautiful niece,Isabelle Conti.She just turned twenty-one.And she's a virgin-you see," he said,making sure they heard the virgin part.

A virgin? Did he have to tell them?

"Then she's a sweet one then.I like them untouched," a man said,his eyes ogling her.

"Surely you are not mistaken.Sometimes I wish I can have her myself," her uncle revealed.

Isabelle turned towards him and spat in his face.

"I'ld rather die than let you get your filthy hands on me," she declared defiantly.

He uttered no word.

Instead,he gestured towards Giulia.She came up to the podium and slapped her hard.

"Do not be disrespectful,Isabelle,"

Isabelle looked at her angrily unable to let the words in her throat out.

"Alright.Shall we begin?" the auctioneer asked.

Don Francesco raised his hand in the air in agreement.

Isabelle brought her eyes down,she couldn't stand the hungry gazes on her.She was yet to understand what was going on.The number of men in the room brought chills all over her.They looked ready to have their way with her in turns.

She clutched her dress tightly again,but stopped when she realized her nipples were becoming more visible.

"Five hundred dollars," a man yelled out from the crowd.

She looked up immediately,and only then did it occur to her that she was being auctioned...sold off.

"One thousand dollars," another yelled,in a bid to outbid his counterpart.

"Four thousand dollars"

"Ten thousand dollars"

"Twenty"

"Thirty"

Isabelle shut her ears to keep out the shame with tears sliding down her cheeks.She was going to end up with one of these men.Men that were twice older than her father.Disgust ripped through her.

"Thirty? Did I hear fifty?" the auctioneer urged.The haggling continued.

Not until,a voice said-

"One hundred thousand dollars!"

Silence ensued throughout the room.The men were whispering now.It seemed as though no one could outbid that amount.

Most of the men turned to trace who the voice belonged to.

Isabelle couldn't help but look up to see who she now belonged to.

Her eyes stopped to examine the man who had just bought her for a hundred thousand dollars.He was just as she had expected,twice as old as her father.The aura around him was unmistakable.

"It's Don Domenico Lombardi," one whispered.

"You dare not bid again," another muttered.

"Going? Going?" the auctioneer asked looking around to know if there was going to be an out bid.Noticing there wasn't going to be any,he yelled out-

"Sold!"

And the gavel echoed loud across the room.

For four years, I traced the bullet scar on Chace’s chest, believing it was proof he would bleed to keep me safe. On our anniversary, he told me to wear white because "tonight changes everything." I walked into the gala thinking I was getting a ring. Instead, I stood frozen in the center of the ballroom, drowning in silk, watching him slide his mother's sapphire onto another woman's finger. Karyn Warren. The daughter of a rival family. When I begged him with my eyes to claim me, to save me from the public humiliation, he didn't flinch. He just leaned toward his Underboss, his voice amplified by the silence. "Karyn is for power. Ember is for pleasure. Don't confuse the assets." My heart didn't just break; it incinerated. He expected me to stay as his mistress, threatening to dig up my dead mother’s grave if I refused to play the obedient pet. He thought I was trapped. He thought I had nowhere to go because of my father’s massive gambling debts. He was wrong. With shaking hands, I pulled out my phone and texted the one name I was never supposed to use. Keith Mosley. The Don. The monster under Chace's bed. *I am invoking the Blood Oath. My father’s debt. I am ready to pay it.* His reply came three seconds later, buzzing against my palm like a warning. *The price is marriage. You belong to me. Yes or No?* I looked up at Chace, who was laughing with his new fiancée, thinking he owned me. I looked down and typed three letters. *Yes.*

"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?

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
