The Don’s Captive Bride
“Will you give me your life in exchange for your father's?” He whispered in my ears, as he traced down my face, to the skin on my neck, with the cold edge of his gun.
“No… Irene, don't…,” my father begged faintly from where he lay, straining against the grip of Diego’s men.
"Yes,” I blurted out, a tremor in my voice.
“If that's what it takes, then… Take me!” I surrendered, closing my eyes.

How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
Would you trade your soul to the devil to save theirs?
Well, I did.
I, Irene Herrera, offered myself to the Mafia Devil, Diego Vargas, in exchange for my father's life.
I became his captive bride.
He put me through hell, yet… I refused to break.
I played his game, but I made my own rules, breaking his.
I challenged him at every chance, defying the Almighty Diego.
He was captivated by my rebellious spirit.
As we drew closer, I started to see the man behind the mask, he was hurt, lonely, and haunted by the ghost of his lost love.
I was drawn to his broken heart.
Soon, the lines between captor and captive blurred for us, as we lost ourselves in a flaming love affair.
But what happens when I learn that my long lost sister was Diego’s ex-lover, involved in a plot to destroy him?
This conspiracy arises again and Diego’s life is threatened.
I face a choice to either seize this chance to escape, and leave him to die, or stay and protect the man I now love, even if it could cost me my life.
Whatever choice I make, Love or survival, am I justified?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Chapter: Chapter 4: Losing to darkness Irene’s POV. "No!” I protested firmly.My heart thumped in my chest as I struggled to accept the helplessness of my current situation. My eyes wide with fear and defiance, I looked into Camilla’s smug face. “Diego can't do this!" I insisted, my voice cracking as my panic rose. "He has no right!!"Camilla's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Oh, but he does, Irene. He is Lord Diego.”“And after your little display of arrogance, this is a rather lenient punishment, don't you think?” She tilted her head, feigning concern. “A few days in the dungeon should teach you to obey him as your Lord.” Anger began to stir up within me, overshadowing my fear. “Obey?” I spat the word out like shit. “I will never obey that tyrant… that monster!”Camilla’s smile faltered for a second.“You keep running your mouth like this, then you might get yourself into bigger problems.” She said coldly."Now, are you going to come peacefully, or should I order these men to drag you out? What will it be?"I co

Chapter: Chapter 3: Trapped.Irene’s POV. ‘There was no way I heard that right.’"Wife?" I stammered, my mind reeling. “I... I don't understand."His eyes narrowed, "Did I stutter, niña?"The floor tilted beneath me, making me stagger backward, disorientedly.‘This was utter madness.’‘Coming here to work for a villain like him was humiliating enough, not to talk of being his wife, sharing his bed… oh, that would be the end of me.’ I imagined his hands, slithering down my body, his cold hands like claws on my flesh. It made my skin crawl.I fought back the urge to scream and tell him he was insane to think that I was ever getting married to a monster like himself."No! I can't do this," I forced out, adamantly. I looked away, unable to hold his gaze, with the same boldness I had in my voice.“You can't do what?” he questioned, his voice rising dangerously.I tried to evade the question, hoping if I was subtle enough, I could somehow deflect his anger.“You could have any woman you desire, why me?”“This can't

Chapter: Chapter 2: Walking into the Devil's lair.Irene’s POV.I settled my father into bed, then hurried to the nearest clinic, to get medical supplies, needed to fix his battered body. By the time I finished cleaning and bandaging his wounds, I was exhausted. My body ached from the stress, and my soul was worn out by the fear and terror I witnessed tonight. I collapsed onto my bed, hoping I could black out the miserable reality of my life, but sleep offered me no escape. All night, I tossed and turned, trapped in a recurring nightmare of Diego, shooting my father in the head with his silver pistol, while I watched in horror, unable to save him.I took some sedatives and I was finally falling asleep as morning crept in, but the jarring clink of glass bottles stirred me out of bed.‘Papa was at it again.’I stumbled out of my room in my nightgown, following the strong aroma of Spanish whiskey into the kitchen. My father sat hunched at the table, four bottles before him, one was already empty."Papa, seriously?" I grumbled, frustrat

Chapter: Chapter 1: Say your goodbyes.Irene’s POV.The sharp metallic click of a pistol being cocked echoed in the dark room. I watched in horror as Diego’s gun barrel moved slowly, halting to aim at my father's head."No!" I cried out."Please, don't do this!"Tears streamed down my face, as my hands covered my mouth, holding back my heavy sobs."Your tears won't save him, girl."“He’s as good as dead” he sneeredWithout a second thought, I threw myself in front of my father, putting myself between him and the pistol.‘He’d have to kill me first, before my papa.’My father was held down, on the cold floor, by Diego’s men. They had beaten him to a stupor, bruising his body with their shoes and fists. If I hadn't intervened on time, It would have been a very different story.My Father was the only family I had left, apart from my sister who’d strangely disappeared, some years ago.He survived a car accident that killed my mother, but a part of him died with her, leaving a void in him that he desperately tried to fill.He b
