"Marry me for a year." Adonis deadpanned. Cara frowned. "You want to use me? I don't even know a thing about you." "I know everything there is to know about you." He replied. "That doesn't mean I can just decide to spend the rest of my life with you." "Not the rest of your life. Just a year." She snapped. "Look here, Mr.-" "Adonis." "Sorry?" "Adonis Alessandro Bernardi." "Well, look here, Mr. Bernardi. This doesn't make any sense to me," "It doesn't have to, Bellissima. How about this? Agree to marry me for a year, and I'll f*ck you into oblivion after." **** Adonis needs a wife to inherit the throne. Cara needs money to pay her father's gambling debts. So she unknowingly signs a contract with the devil; now she's lost in a world she never knew existed. This story explores the consequences of adversity, the theme of power, and maybe love?

Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King The Real Heir
Adonis paused, an uncomfortable silence settling in the room as he gave Cara and her father time to process his confession.The way she stared at him, mouth agape and eyes wide with a mixture of disbelief and shock indicated she, in particular, would need a while to—but as her face pulled a look of horror and nose wrinkled, he knew she wasn't just surprised; She's got to be reeling on at least four emotions...Her face kept contorting and switching within seconds, unlike Miguel, who remained quiet, gazing at him with a calculative expression and steeples fingers."I am utterly and completely lost."He cocked his head, his lips parting to speak when a dissatisfied pout graced her lips."Seriously. Even a scriptwriter wouldn't add this much twist to his or her story. Why the hell is your family so complicated?"A soft snort racked out of Adonis when he saw he was right. He felt like a psychic on the seventh plough in the spiritual realm.First, confusion. Now, annoyance? How many more

Cara paled in realisation. This was the reason for his lack of attentiveness. Her heart dropped."It's my fault.""Stop it.""No." She looked away. "You were fine before. I'm guessing it's a side effect, right?""Yes, but—"Then it is my fault." She cut Adonis off, eyes widening when he didn't refute the claim. "It really is. I can't believe you'd have to live like that for the rest of your life."Miguel's face contorted in disbelief. "What are you talking about, Camilla? What is she talking about?""I should've just taken the bullet."Adonis cursed, momentarily dazed at her stupid conclusion."Are you crazy?""Do not speak to your wife in such a manner!""She's being illogical. It's just a temporary side effect that'll clear with time. So you would prefer to die with my children because of a simple discomfort I can manage?"He argued but even he felt the slight twinge of his eyes as he winced from the ringing sound that he'd gotten used to the moment he awoke."Simple discomfort?

Leaving the mansion with Adonis was a bit more difficult than planned. Not the action itself but the 'convincing the rest of the people'.He was recuperating, and his grumbles were far more subtle than Cara expected, yet he didn't object to leaving. Not once.The problem, however, was the questions and scowls on his men's faces as they wondered why their Capo, who had only awakened a few hours ago, would be leaving his home with his wife, who had also left without a word a month back.After the surprising news from his wife, Adonis had quietly agreed with her. Cleaning up and packing all his necessary things. He didn't speak another word. Not to her or anyone else. Not even to his men, who lined up side by side on the ground floor, waiting to greet him with happy expressions until they realised he was leaving.Then it fell. The obvious confusion on their faces twined the chaos happening in the family; still, there was no one to give answers—no one had them.At least no one but Tina,

Cara yanked the covers away, hurriedly pulling on a coat over her robe.Adonis had woken up? God! That felt like the best news she'd received all her life.Her heart had nearly stopped in joy and relief until Luca's next words followed as did the increasing sound of metal clanging in the background.He sounded so urgent..."Talk to me, what's going on?" She hissed, rushing out of the room. "I'm on my way and will be there as quickly as I can. And what is that awful noise?"Luca kissed his teeth, "That would be the sound of your husband's tantrum. He's refusing treatment when he can barely stand on his own."Cara would've laughed if it hadn't been for the seriousness of the situation.Luca sounded more like himself than he had in weeks, and if she had any doubts about Adonis being awake, that had just cleared it up. The violence said more than enough..."We kind of delivered the news to him when he walked in on me and Tina in his study.""You shouldn't have done that.""I know! But th

Adonis's POVI was stuck in an unknown place—I'd been stuck there for a while. Living through the same horror over and over again.The crazed look in Natasha's eyes as she aimed for Cara and gow I jumped in without a second.The repetition caused me to keep reliving the pain.The pain and anxiety I felt when I thought Cara was going to die.The pain as the shot pierced through my chest.At first, it was all I kept seeing until that one time when I heard her voice. 'Adonis. I need you.'It reminded me of that night in the room. I wanted to go to her but couldn't. In the empty hollowness of my mind, I felt lost.Once in a while, I'd hear her voice and other times; it was just blackness. Then, the very day, I saw her in the void, and she reached out to me... the moment I took her hands, my eyes fluttered open. They lazily fluttered about the space. What I laid on felt extremely soft and comfortable.I recognised it as my bed; then my eyes took in the familiar sight of my room.Everyth

Whoever had said love doesn't bring pain had lied. After our intimate night together, I'd tried everything I could to get Cecelia to leave, but it just always ended in just a fight.We were both walking on eggshells around each other, yet she refused to leave.It got me thinking: Does she love me that much to stick by my side, or have I made her used to toxic situations?There was a sizzling tension between us that was threatening to explode anytime soon. The fact that I was also busy making arrangements at the mansion made it easier to avoid her, but that meant I had to see Cara.She, I knew, I had to avoid at all costs. There was no use acting like I was pissed at her; she'd see right through me. Unlike Cecelia who kept overlooking everything I did, and I couldn't be more glad when Miguel reached out to me to begin the plan.It was going to be the last straw for her, and as I anticipated—it was.Approaching Tina was overrated. I already knew it'd be easy, but it was too easy.How

"Sebastien again? Why didn't you do anything about it then?" Miguel shrugged, pouring himself another drink."Because I wasn't sure. He was yet to show his true colours, so I couldn't follow up my suspicions." "What makes you so sure now?" "The truth." What truth again?Maybe I should take him up on his offer to sit after all. So, without asking for permission, I picked up the second glass that was brought in for me when I came in and poured myself a shot, too. He eyed me with a small smile."I thought you said you were fine." I threw it back at once, pouring another that I took with me to my seat."That was until I heard all these. You're yet to answer my question. How sure are you?""You told me you suspected that Antonio knew of my daughter's Spanish roots. Turns out his father had once given him a clue, but he wasn't broad-minded and only saw the close-up, not the whole picture. Sebastian wasn't trying to tell him to come after my throne. Mine and Dimitri's is just a step in

Flashback: The day after Adonis's rescue..."You're back." Miguel eyed me, taking a sip out of his whisky glass.I couldn't blame his attitude. If I were in his shoes, I'd be more hostile. With the encounters and revelations that happened the day before, weariness was allowed. Especially since his long-lost daughter agreed to go back with me instead of staying with him.But I also couldn't care less.After our intense discussions yesterday, a lot of questions began bugging my mind. Things didn't add up, but I didn't want to worry Cara by opening up another void she wouldn't be able to fill."I have questions." One of his brows shot up, and amusement displayed across his face. He took another sip."That's why I'm sitting here. You don't think you have the power to summon me whenever you like, do you?" I ignored the question, refusing to drop my hardened expression. Until I got the answers I wanted, this man still wasn't to be trusted.Cara's father or not.Suddenly, he sat up, downi

Cara's POV"I'm sorry for the discomfort, Mrs. Bernardi. The baby seems to be hiding away, and I can't seem to get a good position." The doctor said jokingly, moving the wand-like device all around my bump.I just gave a small smile in reply, waiting patiently to hear the news. If anyone had asked me, this wasn't how I expected to find out the gender of my child. I'd imagined my huge hulk by my side, nervously twitching his fingers every five minutes as he sat quietly for the reveal. There'll be that slight pull down of his brows that he thought no one noticed when he was anxious. But as fate would have it, I was doing it alone.It was better than doing it with an unconscious Adonis anyway.I didn't feel motivated to find out the gender and wouldn't have decided to do so if it hadn't been for the unusually rapid growth of my bump. Just a month ago, it was barely there, and now, it had doubled in size. Then the severe discomfort began."My!" The doctor gasped, snapping me out of my t

Life Can Be Cruel
"Your drinks."Cara mumbled, dropping the tray filled with drinks on the table before walking away. Anyone could tell she was extra grumpy and moody tonight.Who wouldn't be?Struggling to make ends meet with a drunk and gambler for a father hasn't always been easy for her, but he was her only family. She'd pick doing this every day over losing him.Like everyone else, her family was once a happy one.

Everything went crashing down when her mother became diagnosed with stage three lung cancer in her first year at college.
