Bound by debt and haunted by a past she can't speak of, Annamaria is offered as a bride to Ares de Luca Sinclair, the ruthless head of the Sicilian mafia. He needs her secret; she craves revenge. Ares believes Annamaria holds the key to stopping a Russian mob invasion, but he doesn't know she blames him for her family's massacre and has vowed to get her revenge on him. As their lives intertwine, the lines between enemy and lover blur. But their fragile bond is threatened by a vengeful half-brother hungry for Ares's power, a scorned woman determined to reclaim her place by his side, and a forbidden love that refuses to be denied. When the truth is finally revealed, Annamaria finds herself a pawn in a deadly game. Kidnapped and tortured, she's forced to confront the secrets she's desperately trying to protect. Ares, consumed by betrayal, unleashes his fury, unaware he's playing right into the hands of his enemies. Will their love survive the lies, the betrayals, and the ever-present threat of the mafia underworld? Or will their dangerous dance end in heartbreak and ruin?

The Don's Obsession Chapter 10
Anna's POV The cold stone walls of the room pressed around me, tighter than the guards’ grip ever did. I felt suffocated, and it didn't even help that I was pacing around. My heart thumped rapidly in my chest, while I tried to make sense of everything that had just happened in the past hour. One second I was running for my life, and on the verge of escaping too, and the next, I was being told I was going to be someone's wife. Not just anyone's wife. His. Ares’A shiver raced down my spine at the very thought, and I wondered if it was due to fear, or something else. Anger rippled through me at the thought of feeling something else aside from anger at Ares, and before I could stop myself, I found my fist slamming into the nearest wall. The pain was a welcome distraction from the storm in my head. I knew it was going to hurt later, but right now, I didn't care. Anything to not think about my current predicament. But how did I get here? A small groan slid past my lips as my mind

Ares' POV Anna's reaction was priceless. In fact, I couldn't have pictured a more perfect reaction to my words than how she looked right now. Her face was scrunched up in equal bits of fear and surprise. Like she'd imagined everything, but not that. My decision had caught her unaware, and I loved it. The moment the words had slid past my lips, she went completely still. Stiff. Like an animal caught in a snare, or a little mouse caught in a trap. I wasn't a mind reader, but I could very well say her mind was racing with a million ways as to how her life was finally ruined. It was too late to fight, and yet she'd barely begun. Pathetic, wasn't it? She remained rooted to her spot for what seemed like forever, like she was still processing it and having a hard time believing. Then suddenly, it was gone. She exploded. Her body twisted violently, thrashing , kicking, and fighting like hell. Fighting like she actually had a chance. I'd expected it, and a tiny part of me welcomed it

Anna's POV The night smelled of rain, fresh and clean, and while I would have wanted nothing more than to gush over how it made the night sky beautiful, I didn't have time. I was on a tight schedule, and I didn't push myself to do what I needed to, then I would forever resent myself, and that was the last thing I wanted. I slipped through the shadows, making sure the dark blanket covered each and every inch of my body. Thanks to the slightly open windows in the mansion, the cold air nipped at my skin. It sent goosebumps and a chill down my spine, but I ignored it completely. If I wanted to get out of here, I would have to endure more than a silly cold. My heart hammered in my chest, and every nerve in my body was on fire. I'd timed this perfectly, and I muttered a quick prayer that nothing would ruin it last minute. I hadn't seen Ares since he abandoned me in my so-called room, and even though I was certain I didn't want to see him, a small part of me was furious that he'd j

Ares' POV Matteo stood in front of me, stiff as a damn board, and waiting for the storm he knew was coming no doubt. He knew it was his fault, and there was no way he would dare say otherwise. Time seemed to slow to a halt as he stood unmoving. For a moment, I was tempted to think that the world around me had somehow slowed down, or worse, stopped. Until he let out a small sigh that is. Of course. I dragged a hand down my face, inhaling slowly and forcing myself not to let my anger take over completely. Not yet. While it would heal my inner and troubled child, I knew it was only going to spell out doom for all the parties involved. “She's mute.” I decided to break the silence. My tone was deceptively calm, and that was the first step to knowing that nothing was okay. I watched Matteo tense. “I..”I threw my glass against the far wall before he could finish. It shattered on impact, the sound sharp and heavy, and piercing through the stillness of my office. Matteo on the other

Anna's POV The scenery whizzing past did nothing to calm me down. If anything, it only made me all the more furious. But as we sped down the road and farther away from the orphanage, reality began to kick in. I was really leaving. No, I was really being forcefully taken away by Ares and Matteo. Shit. I pressed my eyes shut, and apparently, that was all my brain needed to replay what had gone down in the past thirty minutes. It wasn't a long time since it had happened, but I wasn't sure I was ever going to forget any of it. The feel of Ares' gun pressed against my side, and the sheer terror that gripped me as his words filled my ears. The sadness in Sarah's eyes too was definitely going to haunt me till I died, and I wasn't going to try to fight it because I deserved it. Ares had put me in a tight spot. In all honesty, he hadn't given me a choice at all. It was clear what he wanted. Follow him, or Sarah died. In fact, a tiny ugly part of me couldn't help but feel like if

Anna's POV It was in moments like these I really wished I could speak. No, not speak. Scream. Blood rushed to my ears, and I felt my bones thrum and buzz with something I could only tag as exhilaration. No, not that. Fear. I'd pressed my eyes shut, wishing that the experience I just had was nothing but a slight fever dream. I hated those, but right now, I would take anything over the thought of being in the same space with a murderer. I inhaled and exhaled, and once I had finally convinced myself that I was okay , I opened my eyes. The moment I did though, I regretted it immediately. I felt Ares' heated gaze on me instantly. His icy blue orbs bored a hole into my skin, and I couldn't help the shiver that raced down my spine. I knew he was trouble, but I found myself being drawn into his ocean hues, so much so that I didn't mind the fact that he was staring at me like some lowly animal. “Anna.” The sound of my name was all it took to snap me out of my reverie. I turned to t

Annamaria's POV The silence that followed was deafening, and for a moment, I feared I might have also gone deaf too. I had no idea what was going on, but I didn't let that stop me one bit.I stared at the men in front of me. They were nothing like Sarah had described, and the mere sight of them struck something in me. The shorter one, who stood at my right, had a small smile on his face. It looked genuine, but I didn't miss the way his eyes wandered. With his black hair and brown eyes, he looked like a pretty normal guy. I dragged my eyes to the man standing next to him and I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn't surprised. No, astonished. I wouldn't be kidding if I said he was over 6ft tall. His brown hair was slicked back, with just a couple stray strands slipping from their designated spot. I didn't understand what the kids meant when they'd told me about him, but as I stared at his icy blue eyes, it suddenly made sense. They were icy blue chips that radiated an a

Ares' POV The journey didn't take too much time and I couldn't be more grateful for that. I wouldn't say I was grateful though, I had everything I needed to make it happen, so it wasn't that big of a deal. After Matteo had gotten into the limousine, I instructed him to give directions to the driver. I wanted nothing to do with the menial details, all I wanted to do was get my hands on that girl. The limousine had driven to the airport in record time, and thanks to Matteo, we both boarded my private jet in less than five minutes. The town in question that held the orphanage was situated at the outskirts of the city. I was impatient, but I wasn't that impatient to spend two hours by road. “We'll be there in forty five minutes.” I raised my head to the sound of Matteo's voice. He'd just come out from the cockpit, before settling into one of the sofas opposite mine. “Give or take.”“And the orphanage?” I snapped,not pulling my gaze from my phone. “The jet isn't going to land in f

Ten years later Ares' POV I drummed my fingers against the desk, the ruly rhythm reaching my ears. I wasn't a fan of music, but even I could tell that the rhythm coming from underneath the tips of my fingers was total garbage. The upside of it all, was the fact that I didn't care. The downside, someone was in trouble. I bit back the urge to pick up the phone lying carelessly on my table. It had been an hour since it rang but somehow it felt like an eternity ago. They had no right to keep me waiting. I was the head of the seven families and….A loud buzzing against my mahogany desk was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. As quickly as I could, I picked up the phone. “Yes?” I spoke into the cellular device, without even bothering to check who it was. “This better be good.” “We got him, boss.” Matteo's voice came from the other side of the phone. “We're on our way in.” That was all I needed to know before the call dropped dead. With the ghost of a smile on my li

Chapter 1
Prologue Annamaria’s POV “Maria, Vivian.” Dad's panicked voice reached our ears immediately. “Get inside now.” My gaze wandered to my sister and I didn't miss the confusion in her voice. “Anna.” She called out to me. “What's going on? Why is Dad yelling?”“I have no idea.” I shook my head slowly. “Come on, let's go and find out.” I looped my hands around my sister as I led her inside. With each corridor we passed, I didn't miss the maids and father's men scuttling about.What was going on? “Dad?” Father turned to me the moment I called out to him. He gasped, before running towards me and my sister. “What's going on?”“What are you doing here?” He yelled, his voice a panicked whisper. “I told you two to hide.” “But Papa…”“Go!” He cut us off. “Take your sister to the hideout and no matter what happens, don't come out. Your mother will be with you soon.” I stood, confused, but father wasn't having it. As gently as he could, he pushed me and my sister in the direction of ou...
