Synopsis

Christy Rhee (FL) was distraught when she came to learn that she was getting married at 21 and not only that but that she was getting married to the Mafia Boss's son, Jillian Colbert (ML), whom she had never met before but had heard speaking to her father on some occasions. She was being used to pay a debt that her father had incurred when she was little and she was taken away from everything she knew and loved in the blink of an eye. Jillian was cold, merciless and heartless and at the beginning, living with him was hell but she finally adjusted to the mafia lifestyle. Slowly but surely, Christy fell in love with Jillian. However, Jillian’s ex/friend, Alyssa, made it her mission to make sure Jillian would never fall in love with Christy while Christy tried her best to make him fall for her. Will Christy succeed? Or will she just be the wife on paper but never the wife at heart?

Chapter One

“Please don’t do this” I pleaded with my father. He stared at the window, refusing to look at me.“I don't have a choice,” he said, refusing to look at me.“I don't understand. I'm too young to get married” I pointed out.“You're 21 Christy, you're old enough and I am done having this conversation. You may leave” he said sternly. I looked at my father with pleading eyes. However, he kept his eyes glued to the window. He was again, refusing to look at me.I could feel my body trembling as sobs were threatening to escape my lips. “But they're horrible”, I whispered, hugging myself.Still not a word from my father.“Can you at least tell me why?” I asked softly, tears streaming down my face.Finally, he turned towards me.“I owe a debt” was all he said as he turned back to face the window. I was dumbfounded. Baffled, even. Wondering how on earth my father could be indebted to the Mafia Lord that basically runs the whole of Texas. Feeling numb, I slowly walked out of my father's offic...

Chapter Two
Staring down at me with cold, ruthless eyes was Jillian Colbert. I felt my heart skip a beat as intense fear slowly threatened my being.Jillian did a once over and if possible, his eyes got even colder.“I'm supposed to marry this?” he asked, his voice cold as ice.“The woman you refer to as ‘this’ is standing right in front of you and you will be respectful,” the older man said sternly. Jillian’s glare intensified as he looked at me with pure hatred and disgust.He let go of my arm and briskly walked off.I released a breath I didn't know I had been holding. My whole body shook slightly as I recovered from the shock and fear that had had a hold on me not that long ago. “Don't worry, he’ll come around” the older man comforted.“How do you know?” I whispered, fear still evident in my voice.“Because he has no choice. I am his father after all”, the older man chuckled. This made me freeze one more time. ‘His father?’ I thought to myself. I turned around to have a good look at the m

Chapter Three
I looked at him, eyes wide. “Sorry?” I asked, bewildered.His glare returned.“I said, strip. Don't make me repeat myself” he warned.I was frozen in place. I couldn't believe what he was asking me to do. ‘Is this it? Am I about to be assaulted?’ I thought as tears sprung to my eyes. His eyes stayed on mine as he took a step closer.“ I warned you a few seconds ago. Are you disobeying me?” He asked, his voice deepening.“Please, don't do this” I begged quietly, my voice failing.His glare hardened.“You have 5 seconds,” he threatened. My heart was pounding as the tears threatened to spill.“5” he counted. The tears had already started falling.“4” he continued. I shakily started pulling up my shirt and tossed it onto the bed when I was done. My hands went up to cover my bra.“3” his glare remained the same. Now full-on crying, I took off my jeans and tossed them onto the bed.“2” My eyes flew up to him. I thought he would have stopped by now but he wanted me to completely strip. Ac

Chapter Four
I was shocked at first. It felt like my body had moved on its own. I don't know why or how I did it but I did. Jillian didn't move a muscle. We broke apart and he stared at me.I was hoping the earth would open up and swallow me but I don't see that happening anytime soon.I stood a few centimeters away and held my hands over my lips.“I'm so sorry” I immediately apologized. “I don't know what came over me”.Jillian still didn't say a word. His cold, calculating gaze was on me and I felt like an ant at that moment. I had completely forgotten about the gun still in his hand.I watched him as he averted his gaze, walked toward the dresser, dropped the gun, and walked back toward me. In the blink of an eye, his lips were on mine, capturing them in a heated kiss.After realizing what was happening, I kissed back with as much intensity as I could. One hand snaked its way around my waist and firmly grasped it while the other hand went around my thigh as he hoisted me onto his waist. I wra

Chapter Five
My fingers instinctively tightened around hers for a second before I forced myself to let go. I stared into her eyes—eyes that sparkled with charm but simmered with something darker.The way she smiled made my skin crawl. It wasn’t just smugness. It was possession.“This is Alyssa,” Joseph said, voice light but firm as he gestured toward the woman now standing beside me. “A long-time friend of the family.”Long-time friend. Right.I nodded politely. “Nice to meet you.”She leaned in just slightly, her perfume heavy and sweet—like expensive poison. “Oh, sweetheart. You’ll get used to it. Or you’ll break. We’ll see.”I couldn’t even form a response. She turned on her heels, her red dress swaying with every step as she walked back to the table. She didn’t sit in a chair. She sat—no, sprawled—right across Jillian’s lap like she belonged there.And he let her.He didn’t touch her. Didn’t look at her. But he didn’t push her off either.Joseph cleared his throat, pretending none of this was

Chapter Six
The room still smelled like him.A mix of something expensive and dangerous, something I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to wash off.I sat in the dark, unmoving, lips tingling from his kiss. My heart was still racing—half in anticipation, half in confusion.Jillian Colbert didn’t say things he didn’t mean. That much, I was starting to learn.But he also didn’t say things to make you feel better. Which made his last words all the more terrifying.“You will be.”What did that even mean?I lay down that night, fully clothed, too wired to sleep and too drained to stay awake. I drifted in and out of dreams where his voice echoed like a warning, like a promise.I didn’t see him the next morning.Nor the afternoon.The mansion was cold and far too quiet, despite the house staff moving about like ghosts. I stayed in my room most of the day, occasionally stepping out just to feel less like a prisoner.I kept thinking about Alyssa. About how sure she was that she still belonged to him. How comfor

Chapter Seven
I wasn’t used to this version of myself.Standing in front of the mirror, clad in a body-hugging black dress that Jillian’s assistant had sent up—without asking—I barely recognized the woman staring back.She looked powerful. Elegant. Dangerous.But inside, I was still the girl who had been sold like property and handed over to a man she didn’t know, expected to become a Mafia bride with no instruction manual.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my spiraling thoughts.It was Maria, the same woman who always delivered messages on behalf of the Colberts. I was beginning to wonder if she could read minds.“Mr. Colbert is ready for you,” she said politely.I nodded and followed her out of the room.The mansion was different at night—alive with movement. Men in suits, discreetly armed, lined the hallways. The staff moved with quiet precision. Everything was coordinated, almost like a ballet… one choreographed with bullets and blood.And then there was Jillian.He stood at the bottom of

Chapter Eight
When I woke up, I was in his arms.It wasn’t a dream. I hadn’t imagined it.Jillian Colbert—the man who terrified me, confused me, and made my heart stutter in ways I wasn’t proud of—was holding me like I was something precious.I didn’t dare move. Not at first.His arm was draped over my waist, one leg tangled between mine, and his face was nestled in my neck. His breath, slow and even, warmed my skin.For a moment, I let myself pretend.Pretend he cared. That I wasn’t just a pawn. That last night hadn’t been some twisted form of mafia comfort or damage control after Alyssa’s visit.But fantasies are fragile things.And Jillian was always the one to break them.He stirred, then shifted away from me without a word. No kiss. No glance. Just silence as he got up, pulled on a white shirt, and adjusted his watch.Back to business.I sat up slowly, the coldness in the room now echoing the one I felt inside.“You’re leaving?” I asked softly.“Work.” He didn’t look at me as he answered. “Sta

Chapter Nine
“Jillian!” I yelled, rushing from the balcony and down the stairs.He met me halfway in the hall, already tensing at my tone. “What is it?”“There was someone outside. Watching.”His eyes sharpened instantly. “Where?”“By the gate. Dressed in black. He saw me—he pointed at me, Jillian.”“Pointed?” he repeated, then turned to the guard at the door. “Get eyes on the north gate. Now.”“Yes, sir.”I reached for his hand without thinking. “Jillian… who would do that?”He looked at our intertwined fingers, then at me. “People who want to send messages.”“Was it Alyssa?” I asked.“No. She doesn’t use subtlety.”“Then who—?”“We’ll find out.”His voice was low, controlled. But I could tell by the way his jaw clenched that his mind was already spinning.He turned to one of the passing guards. “Double the patrols tonight. And send someone to sweep her room for bugs.”My stomach sank. “You think someone’s been listening?”“I think we’re being watched,” he muttered, then looked me dead in the eye

Chapter Ten
The training room was colder than I expected.Sleek floors, black mats, steel shelves lined with weapons I wasn’t sure I wanted to learn how to use. Jillian stood near the center, sleeves rolled up, looking like sin with a holster clipped to his belt.“You’re early,” he said as I stepped in.“I couldn’t sleep.”He nodded toward the wall. “Pick your weapon.”My eyes widened. “You’re letting me choose?”“No,” he smirked. “But I wanted to see what you’d reach for first.”I walked slowly along the shelf, fingers ghosting over blades, brass knuckles, and a row of glinting pistols.I stopped in front of one with a black matte finish.“This one,” I said.“Beretta,” Jillian said behind me. “You’ve got good instincts.”“You sound surprised.”“I’m always surprised when people show me they’re more than they seem.”I turned to face him. “And what do you think I am?”He stepped closer. “That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”His nearness made my heart pound, but I covered it with a shrug. “Teach m
