Hace cinco años, Qiao Nian fue víctima de una trama de su hermana, Qiao Xin. Tras pasar una noche con un desconocido, Qiao Nian quedó embarazada. No sabía quién era el padre del niño y eventualmente dio a luz a un bebé muerto. Bajo las maquinaciones de su madre y hermana, Qiao Nian fue despojada de sus acciones en el Grupo Qiao y enviada a un hospital psiquiátrico. Cinco años después, su hermana menor, Qiao Xin, iba a ser casada con el Segundo Joven Maestro de la familia Gu. Se rumoreaba que era extremadamente feo. El día que nació, el doctor predijo que no viviría más de veinte años. Su madre no podía soportar ver a Qiao Xin casarse con tal persona y pensó en Qiao Nian, quien todavía estaba encerrada en el hospital psiquiátrico. De la noche a la mañana, Qiao Nian fue sacada del hospital para reemplazar a Qiao Xin en su matrimonio con la familia Gu. Su madre dijo: —Es una suerte que Qiao Nian, esa inútil, pueda reemplazar a Xin'er para ser una viuda viviente en la familia Gu. Si Xin'er se casara en esa familia, me rompería el corazón. Qiao Xin dijo: —Mamá, no hables así de Hermana. Si no fuera por ella, no sabría qué hacer. Solo me preocupa que Hermana no esté de acuerdo. Su padre dijo: —Xin'er, eres demasiado bondadosa. ¿Has olvidado cómo Qiao Nian te calumnió hace cinco años? Ella no tiene autocontrol. Quedó embarazada antes del matrimonio e incluso dio a luz a un niño muerto. ¡La tratamos lo suficientemente bien dejándola casarse con alguien de la prestigiosa familia Gu! ¿Qué derecho tiene ella para ser exigente? Qiao Nian se burló. En aquel entonces, la trama en su contra solo había tenido éxito debido a una combinación de factores inesperados, haciéndola sufrir. ¡Ella iba a vengarse de todos ellos! Todos pensaban que sus acciones nacían de una combinación de mentalidad de perdedora y enfermedad mental, pero poco sabían que este matrimonio sería una unión fuerte tan impactante como Marte chocando contra la Tierra. Aprovechando sus brillantes habilidades médicas, Qiao Nian hizo que varias personas despreciables y canallas se tragaran sus palabras. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, sus múltiples identidades sorprendieron al mundo a medida que se revelaban. ¡Resultó que era tan rica que podía rivalizar con un país! Más tarde, el Segundo Joven Maestro Gu colocó un par de mini clones de Qiao Nian frente a ella. Frente a estos dos niños que se parecían a ella y a Gu Zhou, Qiao Nian parpadeó sorprendida. —¿Cuándo di a luz a tus hijos? —preguntó.

Diana stood in front of his door fumbling with the knob. it wasn't like she was scared to enter his room as this won't be the first time she was entering and neither would it be the last. She was about to do something very wild and may be stupid of her but this was the definition of her and it won't change. Sighing and taking a heavy breath,she opened the door closing it behind her and she met him on his bed with his back kissing the surface of his bed...shirtless as usual. he really didn't like putting on a shirt from what she had gathered. "Diana..what the hell are you doing here?" He said sitting up to reveal the cross on his chest and his sleeve tattoo on the left arm. he also had the drawing of a skull at the right. "We made a deal remember?"she reminded him and he raised one brow up to ask 'what deal?' Diana was wearing a smirk looking so wicked and Xavier could not help but wonder what she was up to. standing up fully from his bed,he went to stand in front of her. "What deal Diana?" "I got a tattoo" she bursted the news to him and his facial expression said it all,he was shaken up. "You got a whaa?" "Tattoo....I got a tattoo" "Are you fucking with me.. please tell me you're messing with me Diana" It felt so good to hear him curse. it sounded so seductive coming from him... everything he does is seductive... FOCUS DIANA..NOT NOW,she said slapping herself internally. "I'm being serious" she made it clear to him incase he e was having problems believing it. "Diana I told you not to get a tattoo" "Not exactly as I remember,you dared me to get a tattoo" "Your dad is gonna be mad" "It's my body..I get to do what I want" "How many tattoos did you get?" "Three" "Three? isn't that too much?" "Speak for your self. you got your whole sleeve tattooed, you've one on your chest and you've one on your right arm...who has the most tattoos now?" "That's me, I'm a male and I'm not underage" she scoffed when she heard him. "So now,I'm underage? I'll be 19 next year...I think I'm off age to make my own decisions" "You're still under your father's roof" " I will be moving out...and besides,he won't know...unless you're gonna tell him" Xavier sighed. this girl who stood in front of him could be so stubborn at times. How could such a pretty face be this stubborn?, he asked himself. "Can I at least see the tattoos you got?" "yeah sure." Taking off her shirt to reveal the black tank top she was wearing underneath it, she turned to her side so she could reveal her left arm. "Fuck!! you got a skull?"And for the second time since she entered his room,he cursed again.... why do it seductively?,she said in her mind. "Yes I did..what's wrong with it?" "Couldn't you get a flower or something feminine?" that was the samething the tattooist had said. "If you could get a skull,why can't I?" "I'm a man... Dianne..you're a girl, the whole point of being a girl is being girly and getting a butterfly or flower tattoo is something that is girly" "Well I don't want to be girly if I can't get a skull tattoo" He heard her say " And besides, I got a flower tattoo" She showed her belly which was now very visible as she was wearing a tank top. "And where's the other?"He asked as his eyes scanned her body for the last one. "I rather not say" He scoffed when he heard her.did she really get the tattoo in that place he was thinking of? "Besides you still have to keep the end of your deal" "And what was the deal again?" "If I get a tattoo before Wednesday, you would fulfill one thing I ask for and if I don't get a tattoo before Wednesday,I would do what you want" "I won so you will fulfill one thing I ask for" "Fine,what do you want?" "Kiss me...."

Sold to the highest bidder to pay off a blood feud, I never imagined I would be the pawn in my father's fatal game. Still, here I am before Enzo De Luca, the most vicious mafia leader in the city. Though appealing, he is cold, deliberate, and as lethal. Though my heart races just from his proximity, it is his touch that ignites me.

In his deadly kingdom, I am only another bargain, another transaction. But every time we are alone, the conflict between us snaps—desire becomes a terrible addiction. Although I detest him for everything he stands for, I yearn for the way he consumes me, body and soul. He has made it quite evident—our marriage is more about power than love.

And as the past calls for us, I have to question myself: will our passion be the thing that ruins us both or can I survive loving a guy like Enzo De Luca? Burning in his arms is me.

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

'Death...death, was all I could think of at this very moment. It scares me, and yet it doesn't, since we'll all end up dead someday eventually, right?' There was absolutely nothing I could do. Nothing for me to do, because I had no power to do so. And even if I did, would that change things for the better, or for worse? Everything comes with a price and for most, they become consequences. Each one regrettable than the first - a fear that rattles me beyond belief. It was already, March 25th and the news was tragic - beyond tragic, there were so many things to do and say, things that I am not yet ready to say, but willing to do. That was what I thought when I first met him. The night was young, and it was pouring down heavily. But, he was just standing there, under the rain, looking down at me with those intimidating eyes that I almost gave up hope of ever enjoying life to it's fullest. "I think you should go home." He stared down at me with those eyes, void of emotions, and it seemed like I was being pierced by the cold itself, as I stood rooted to the spot. But when he turned his back to me and started walking away, I thought about my situation right now. I thought of the mess I was already in. Deep down I couldn't. I just couldnt let him go, no matter what! I need to change my fate. So I raced up to him, just as he was about to get into his already awaiting ride, I called out to him. "Wait!" Once I raced up to the tall man, I was already panting for air. Although scared beyond my wits, I still managed to say the words that kept replaying in my mind, "let's get married."
