Mated By Fate
Scarlette, a devoted wife, loved and worshipped her husband deeply, but her love was met with cruelty and betrayal. Her husband not only mistreated her, but also brought in another woman and an illegitimate child. Overwhelmed by the heartbreak, Scarlette tragically took her own life. In her final moments, regret consumed her, wishing she could undo her decision.
Fate, however, gave her a second chance. Scarlette reincarnated, finding herself one month before her husband brought his mistress and child into their lives. Determined to change her fate, Scarlette vowed not to let history repeat itself. She resolved to rewrite her story, no longer the naive and submissive wife, but a woman ready to claim her happiness.
In this second life, Scarlette crosses paths with MaverickDanteDeLuca, her father’s long-time friend, who is twice her age but mysteriously youthful, appearing no older than his twenties. Maverick Dante De Luca is a powerful mafia man, who rules the entire business and mafia world. As their paths intertwine, Scarlette faces a new kind of love—one that is intense, passionate, and driven by fate. Now, with a mysterious man at her side and a chance to reclaim her life, Scarlette must navigate her second chance with caution, as fate may have more in store for her than she ever imagined.
The fear of being with a man twice her age was keeping Scarlette from admitting to her true feelings.
Scarlette Pov
He pulled me to very close to himself, closing all gaps and spaces between us. I could feel his hot breath on my face and the strong strong arm which he placed against my waist.
"princess, you can't escape my from me" he whispered in my ears, causing my heart to jump out of my chest.
"You have always been and you'll always be MINE" he added looking straight into my soul.
I shivered in his embrace by the way he was looking at me. I felt like he was about to eat me up. I couldn't pull myself together to say a word. I just mentioned his name which was barely a whisper.
"Dante......i-i-i.....Dante" I stammered
"Yes princess, that's my name" he said in a husky voice
The intensity was too much for me to handle............
