"When grief seemed insurmountable, one man's life was forever changed by a promise to his late wife. Forced to marry his loyal assistant, he never expected to find love again. But as they navigated their unexpected union, they discovered a love that healed their hearts and defied the odds. Will their love flourish, or will the shadows of the past define their future?"

Chapter 1 The diagnosis

The ambulance sirens wailed as Samuel grasped Sarah's hand tightly, his eyes locked onto hers as they wheeled her into the emergency room. "You'll be fine," he whispered, trying to reassure her. Sarah nodded weakly, her grip on his hand firm. The doctors swiftly pushed her into the ICU, and the doors closed behind them.

Samuel paced anxiously outside, his mind racing with worry. Ten minutes ticked by, then twenty, then thirty, but there was no update from the doctors. An hour passed before Dr. Michael emerged, his expression somber. Samuel sprang to his feet, his eyes fixed intently on the doctor. "Dr. Michael!" he called out.

The doctor turned, his eyes filled with compassion. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sam," he said gently. "Your wife's condition is critical. She has stomach cancer, and it's advanced. We've done everything we can, but... she won't survive."

Samuel staggered back, his world crumbling around him. Dr. Michael handed a document to the nurse, explaining that treatment could only sustain Sarah for a week. "I'm sorry, Mr. Samuel," he repeated. "If there was anything I could do to save her, I would. But it's too late."

Samuel nodded tightly, tears streaming down his face. Dr. Michael left, and Samuel rushed to the bathroom, splashing water on his face. He stared at his reflection, and suddenly, he burst into tears, the weight of his loss crushing him.

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."

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.*
