His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his dark suits and ties. After Lauren's first encounter with her father's killer, she realizes he’s just as dangerous as he is handsome. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from wanting to jump out of her chest like an excited rabbit when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice. And he’s always near. Telling her what to do. Dragged into his world in a contract marriage that'd benefit the dark lord and satisfy her thirst for revenge against her mother's enemies, her life and heart goes towards a downward spiral. Lauren may be a sweet girl on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands on her neck, cigarettes, and emerald-colored eyes.

Flames of love and war Chapter 5
Lauren's POVThe dress he had sent for me fit perfectly–a floor-length ruby gown that shimmered with every movement. It felt expensive, regal even, but it wasn’t enough to settle the unease brewing in my stomach.I had spent the last few hours getting prepared for whatever new humiliation or test awaited me. I had learnt that Kelvin Aldoracco wasn’t a man who did anything without purpose. Tonight was not going to be an exception.I tugged the silk gloves higher up my arms, glancing at the enormous estate through the car window. Lights spilled from every window, and music buzzed faintly as I approached. The driver opened the door for me, and I stepped out, immediately feeling like I had stepped into a lion's den.I pretended not to notice the stares. Whether they were admiring my dress or assessing how out of place I looked, I couldn’t tell.“Lauren?”The voice froze me in my tracks.I turned and immediately locked eyes with the two people I least wanted to see—my Stepmother, Clarissa

Lauren's POVI smoothed my trembling hands over the dress I had been given, wishing for anything to distract me. This wasn’t how my life was supposed to go. The maid had made it clear that he wasn't someone I could deal with.But if aligning myself with a devil like Kelvin Aldoracco gave me a way out, a way to fight back, I’d walk straight into hell and keep my head high.The door opened behind me, breaking my train of thought. I didn't need to turn around to know he had arrived.Kelvin Aldoracco.For a heartbeat, I froze in shock at what my eyes beheld. He was far too handsome, the kind of beautiful that was overwhelming, almost impossible to understand. His features were sharp and sculpted, perfectly placed in a way that felt unfair. There was a scar grazing his jaw that only heightened the vibes of danger wafting off of him.He was the villain in every story. The monster hiding in plain sight.And today, I was marrying him.He walked toward me with a confident stride, his presence

Lauren's POV“Get the doctor ready!” a deep voice commanded, nothing more than a groggy sound to my sore ears as I struggled to wake up.Coldness like nothing I had ever known controlled my body from head to toe, and it was not just cold, I was soaking wet too. Every inch of my body was hurting. Even my eyelids ached as I pulled them apart.“Finally awake,” the deep voice drawled.I lifted my head using more strength than I thought I would. I was still in my clothes coming from the hospital but my pants were ripped at the knee, and there was a pain in my ribs as I took a sharp breath.Flashes of memories attacked me quickly. The gunshot, my father’s lifeless body. The men who had injected me ... How was I still alive?“You seem lost in thoughts.” The deep voice mumbled, reminding me that I wasn't alone. I turned my head sharply, my eyes locking onto the source. A man sat in a high-backed chair beside me. His posture was lazy and his aura was commanding. I could only make out his glow

Kelvin's POV The man’s head snapped to the side.His blood sprayed in a satisfying arc across my face. I didn’t stop. My fist came down again, slamming into his jaw with a sickening crunch. “You bastards. You failing bastards.” My voice was eerily calm as I drove my knuckles again and again into his already broken nose. His blood pooled beneath him and he collapsed limp and unmoving.“Answer me,” I said softly, crouching down to his level. He flinched as I grabbed his chin, forcing his face upward. “Who told you to bring her here?” “I…she…” he stammered with a mouthful of blood. “You didn’t think,” I corrected, dropping his head in disgust. “That’s the problem. None of you think.” I straightened, shifting my gaze to the other man pressed against the wall, frozen in terror. His wide eyes darted to his partner, then back to me. “Say something,” I prompted, tilting my head. “You’re the genius who approved this mess, aren’t you?” “Boss, it…it wasn’t like that,” he stuttere

Lauren's POV“I’ll be blunt, Miss Lauren. Your mother’s condition is very serious. We have done everything we can, but the situation is delicate. It’s a matter of whether she’ll survive the night.”My heart dropped. The words were hopeless, but I ignored them. “What does that mean? Please, is there anything you can do? Any surgery? A treatment?”My mother's frail hand was firmly clutched in mine as I sat in her hospital room. The beeping of the machine and the antiseptic smell made me nauseous.The doctor paused, his fingers tapping on his clipboard. “There is something we can try, but…” He trailed off, clearly hesitant. “It’s a rare procedure. Expensive. And honestly, it’s… it’s a risk. But if you want to give her a chance, you’ll have to pay upfront. The cost is...”I leaned forward, my grip on my mother's hand tightening.“How much?” I asked, impatiently interrupting him. “Please tell me, I need to know.”His gaze shifted toward the papers in front of him. “Five hundred thousand do
