Chapter 1

1. Betrayed

~Alina~

The clock read 10:15 p.m. when I pulled into the driveway of Ashford Road.

A cool wind rattled the trees, sending a shiver down my spine as I stepped out of the car. Maybe it was the late hour, or maybe it was something deeper, but unease curled in my stomach.

Shaking it off, I made my way to the front door. Tomorrow, this house would be my home, the place where Ethan and I would start our life together. I could already picture it—lazy Sunday mornings, laughter in the kitchen, and falling asleep in his arms every night.

Marrying Ethan Lockwood, the man I had loved for five years since college and my best friend’s cousin, felt like a dream come true.

Tonight, we were following the age-old wedding tradition of spending the night apart. Ethan was here in our new home while I was supposed to be at Jade’s apartment. But as I was double-checking my things, I realized I had forgotten something important.

My late mother’s necklace, the one I planned to wear tomorrow and the one she had given me on her deathbed. I had left it on the dresser in the master bedroom yesterday while I was packing.

Instead of calling him, I thought it would be a sweet surprise to drop by. After all, in less than twenty-four hours, he would be my husband.

I smiled to myself as I turned the key in the lock and pushed the door open.

The house was quiet and dimly lit. I slipped off my heels and padded inside. The air smelled faintly of Ethan’s cologne, comforting and familiar.

Then I heard it—soft, breathless sounds.

I froze.

The unmistakable moan of a woman.

A chill shot down my spine. No. That couldn’t be right.

The bedroom door at the end of the hall was slightly open, flickering light spilling from within. Another sound, deeper this time, a husky groan, sent my heart racing.

Every instinct screamed at me to turn around. Don’t look. Don’t confirm what you already know.

But my feet moved forward.

The door creaked as I nudged it open.

A tangle of bodies. Twisted sheets. Clothes strewn across the floor. Lace underwear and a silk dress I recognized too well.

A blonde head lifted from the pillows, and my stomach plummeted.

Jade.

My best friend. My sister in everything but blood.

And there she was—in bed with my fiancé. Her own cousin.

My jaw hit the floor instantly, and a cold shiver ran down my spine. For a moment, I was mortified. I couldn’t speak or react—I just watched in horror.

Jade was sprawled across the mattress, Ethan’s body half-covering hers, their limbs tangled together, skin slick with sweat. The air in my lungs vanished.

For a moment, everything blurred. My head pounded. My hands trembled. I could barely hear past the blood roaring in my ears.

Then Jade turned her head and saw me.

Her lips parted in surprise, but it was brief and fleeting before a slow, wicked smirk curled her mouth.

That small, smug curve of her lips shattered the last of my restraint.

A broken sound escaped me. A gasp? A laugh? I didn’t even know.

Ethan sighed, running a lazy hand through his disheveled hair.

“Alina. You should have knocked. Why are you even here? Can’t you listen to simple instructions?”

I stared at him, horror and fury warring inside me.

Knocked?

Jade stretched like a cat, unbothered by my presence. “Told you she might drop by,” she mused, dragging a finger down Ethan’s chest.

He chuckled.

A sick, twisted sound that made me want to scream.

“It was bound to happen sooner or later,” he said.

“Better now than after the wedding.”

The words hit me like a slap.

I forced out a breath. “So… this wasn’t a prank?” My voice barely rose above a whisper.

Everything inside me went cold. I clenched my fists, nails biting into my palms.

I shook my head, trying to grasp onto something, anything, that made sense.

“Ethan, she’s your cousin.” My voice cracked. “This is incest. A disgusting abomination.”

Jade let out a sharp, mocking laugh.

Ethan smirked. “Oh, Alina. You really are the dumbest twenty-three-year-old I’ve ever met.”

The room tilted. “What…?”

Jade sat up, stretching like she had all the time in the world. “God, you actually believed that? That Ethan and I were cousins?”

She tossed her brown, wavy hair over her shoulder and rolled her eyes.

“We fed you that lie in college because we knew you wouldn’t get close to him if you knew he was my boyfriend.”

Ethan grinned. “And you ate it up, didn’t you? Sweet, naive Alina. Rich, stupid Alina.”

My stomach twisted violently.

“No. That can’t be—”

Jade cut me off. “You think he actually wanted you? That he loved you?” She snorted. “You were just a fat, lonely girl desperate for attention. And since you had money, that made you useful.”

Tears burned at the edges of my vision.

“No… this can’t be real. Are you trying to prank me?”

Ethan exhaled, bored. “Believe whatever you want, sweetheart, but the truth is, the only reason I put up with you was for the money. You were my golden ticket. A pathetic little rich girl so desperate for love you didn’t even question why your best friend would suddenly introduce you to her cousin and push you two together.”

Jade laughed. “We played you for five years, and you never caught on. You even proposed, such a dummy. Your rotten parents definitely won’t be resting in peace if they see how foolish their only child was.”

The mention of my parents hit me like a punch to the gut.

Ethan smirked, twisting a strand of Jade’s hair playfully.

“Oh, that’s the best part. I was going to marry you, endure you for a few years, siphon off as much of that inheritance as I could. But then—boom. Your parents die, and guess what? Turns out Daddy wasn’t as rich as everyone thought.”

Jade feigned a pout. “And suddenly, you were just a broke, fat, ugly nobody.”

Ethan’s face twisted in disgust as he clicked his tongue mockingly.

“The idea of actually marrying you after that? Jesus. It makes me sick just thinking about it.”

Jade leaned closer, her voice dripping with mock sympathy.

“So, what now, Alina? You gonna cry like the baby you are? Run away? Try to fight for a man who never wanted you?”

Ethan chuckled. “Better hurry up and decide. We’ve got plans tonight, and you standing there like a dumb cow is ruining the mood.”

I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe.

Everything I had ever known, ever loved, was a lie.

Ethan exhaled heavily. “Honestly? I didn’t plan on settling down so soon anyway.”

My breath caught in my throat. “What do you mean?”

Jade smirked.

Ethan hesitated for half a second, then looked me dead in the eyes. “I mean, I never planned for things to spiral out so quickly. I just wanted fun, rip off as much money as I could from you, but then I realized how desperate you were to become my wife. You even proposed to me.”

Jade shook her head, amusement dancing in her eyes.

“Who even proposes to a man? God, you’re pathetic.”

“A desperate little pick-me girl,” she sneered.

Ethan didn’t even look guilty. He leaned back against the pillows, completely at ease, like this was nothing.

Like I was nothing.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I dropped to my knees weakly.

“Please,” I whispered. “I don’t have anyone else. I forgive you both. Just marry me, Ethan. Please.”

Silence.

Then they burst into loud, cruel, mocking laughter.

Jade wiped at fake tears. “Oh my god, this is embarrassing.”

Ethan’s smirk faded. His expression turned cold.

“I only accepted your ring to save your face in public, Alina. And I forgot to mention…”

He paused, watching me, waiting for my last bit of hope to die before delivering the final blow.

“Jade’s son, Dennis? He’s mine.”

2. Nana
~Alina~ “What!?” My breath hitched, my entire body freezing as Ethan’s words echoed in my ears. Dennis was Jade’s son. The child she had in her final year of college. The little boy I had helped raise, loved like family. She had told me it was a one-night stand, a mistake. That some random guy at a club had gotten her pregnant and disappeared. She had cried in my arms, sworn she didn’t know who the father was. And I, God, I had believed her. I had stood by her, paid for her pregnancy and after-birth expenses, held her hand through every doctor’s visit, every sleepless night. At one point, I even stole from Dad’s safe and from my mom’s purse, using my family’s money to make sure she and Dennis never lacked anything. I had sacrificed for them. And the whole time…… Ethan was Dennis’s father. A sharp, ugly sob tore from my throat as I stumbled back. “You,” my voice broke, “you lied to me. Both of you.” Jade smirked, completely unbothered. “You shou

3. The Devil Of Milan
~Valentino Romano~ “The shipment from Colombia arrived last night,” Rocco, my PA reported, standing across from my desk, his voice businesslike. I swirled the golden liquid in my glass, watching the ice melt into the whiskey. “And?” He hesitated for half a second. “They were short,” he admitted. “Five kilos missing.” Silence settled over the room like a thick fog. The sound of my glass tapping against the large L-shaped executive desk was the only thing that filled the air. Five kilos. I exhaled through my nose, setting my drink down. “Let me guess,” I murmured. “The shipment was handled by the Cortés crew?” Rocco nodded. “Sí, Boss [Yes, Boss.].” “Then they are either incompetent or they think I’m blind.” I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the desk. “Which one is it?” “Does it matter?” Rocco asked. “The disrespect is the same.” He was right. It didn’t matter. A message needed to be sent. I picked up my gun from t

4. Kidnapped
~Alina~ The moment the plane touched down in Milan, a wave of nostalgia crashed over me. For a second, I wasn’t a heartbroken, penniless woman. I was a little girl again, running barefoot through the sun-drenched streets, my father’s laughter echoing beside me. I could almost taste the sticky sweetness of gelato on my tongue, feel the warmth of his large hand holding mine as we weaved through the bustling streets. Back then, Milan had been magic. Now, it was just another reminder of everything I had lost. I tightened my grip on the handle of my suitcase, the wheels clicking softly against the airport’s shining floors. The air smelled like freshly brewed espresso, warm pastries, and expensive perfume. I moved through the crowd, my body heavy with exhaustion, my heart heavier with the weight of what awaited me. By the time I slid into the back of a taxi, the midafternoon sun lights washed the streets in a golden glow. The ride was silent. I kept my eyes on the

5. Owing The Devil
~Alina~ A slow, steady beeping sound pulled me from the darkness. My head throbbed, my body ached, and the air smelled different. Unfamiliar. I woke up slowly, my eyes adjusting to the soft light from the chandelier above me. The ceiling was high, decorated with gold patterns on ivory-white paint. The bed beneath me was too soft, the sheets cool against my skin. As I turned my head, the rest of the room came into focus—furniture, heavy velvet curtains partly covering tall windows, and shiny black tiles. This wasn’t my room. A chill ran down my spine as last night’s memories hit me. I had been kidnapped. Panic shot through me and I tried to sit up, but my movements felt restrained and uncomfortable. My hands flew to my chest, gripping the unfamiliar fabric and as I slowly looked down a violent shiver ran through me. I was wearing a pristine white lace wedding gown. My breath hitched. What. The. Hell? A scream tore from my throat before I could stop it. The do

6. The Wedding
~Valentino~ I stretched out a hand to her, my gaze locking onto her perfect, full-figured body. For some reason, I had always preferred curvier women. Society glorified tall, thin women with sharp cheekbones and endless legs, but that wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted a woman with flesh, softness, and curves that could handle a man like me. Alina had all that and more. Her rich, dark hair cascaded past her back in loose waves, framing a heart-shaped face. Her bright green eyes were filled with fear, an emotion that, for some reason, intrigued me. Her full lips trembled slightly, and her porcelain white skin had lost its color from shock. The maids had dressed her while she was unconscious to avoid any delays, and I had to admit, they did a damn good job. The fitted silk dress hugged her curves perfectly, cinching at the waist before flowing elegantly to the floor. The makeup they applied made her look more mature, stripping away the innocen

7. Wedding Night
~Alina~ “No… no, no, no,” I sobbed, my vision blurred by tears. My hands trembled as I cradled Nana’s lifeless body, her warmth fading with every passing second. Guilla knelt beside me, wailing and rocking back and forth. The chaos around us continued—the sound of bodies dropping, bullets whizzing through the air, and men shouting orders in Italian. Through my haze of grief, I saw him. Valentino Romano—The devil I had just married. Drenched in blood, his white shirt was now crimson. His face was stone cold, void of remorse, void of anything human. His dark eyes burned with something raw, something terrifying. As I watched, he lifted his gun, aimed it at the man who shot Nana, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The man collapsed, blood pooling beneath him. Valentino didn’t even flinch. He turned and killed another. Then another. I had never seen a man so merciless, so terrifyingly lethal. The Devil of Milan.

8. Wild Little One
~Alina~ His fingers pressed into my thighs, spreading me wider, forcing me to yield to his control. A traitorous shiver rippled down my spine. No. I can’t let him break me. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. “Stop,” I groaned, the silk rope cutting deeper into my skin as I thrashed, my wrists burning. Valentino’s laugh was dark and mocking. “Begging already, principessa? [princess] And here I thought you wanted to make me pay.” His knee shoved between my legs, forcing them wider. The cold air hit my exposed skin, but it was nothing compared to the heat of his gaze, black with violence, dripping with something worse. Hunger. My stomach churned with disgust. “Get off me!” I spat in his face. The liquid splattered across his cheek. For a second, silence stretched between us. The tension in the air crackled, dangerous and charged. My heart pounded as I waited for his reaction, expecting rage. Violence. Instead, he laughed. A dark, rumbling sound that made

9. Good Little Wife
~Alina~ I was about to lash back at him when his mouth crashed onto mine, stealing my breath in a brutal, suffocating kiss, his teeth catching my lower lip until I tasted copper. I gasped, and he swallowed the sound, his tongue lashing against mine with a hunger that felt more like punishment than desire. His hand slid down my body, calloused fingers scraping over my nipple, pinching until I arched off the bed with a sharp cry. “Hmmm…” he moaned, rolling the tight peak between his fingers before leaning down to replace his hand with his teeth. I whimpered as he bit down, the pain lancing straight to my core, a twisted pleasure coiling low in my stomach. “Stop—ah!” My protest dissolved into a moan as his mouth moved lower, trailing wet, open-mouthed kisses down my sternum, pausing to flick his tongue over the bloodstain between my breasts. His dark chuckle vibrated against my skin. “You wear my sins so well.” He leaned back, and his hands found his belt as he began to unbuckl

10. The Funeral
~Valentino~ The dead didn’t give a damn how grand their funeral was. But the Romanos? We buried our kings like saints, then sent them to hell in style. Black silk suffocated the private chapel of Castello Romano, swallowing the walls, the windows, even the light. The air was heavy, thick enough to choke on, the cloying stench of lilies mixing with the sharper, metallic bite of gun oil. Outside, umbrellas leaned against the weeping sky, a sea of black, interrupted only by the shine of gold cufflinks and the occasional flash of a hidden weapon tucked beneath a jacket. Men in sharp black suits lined the pews, heads bowed low in a performance of respect, but the real emotion in the room was fouler. Greed, hunger, and silent joy. I stood at the front, knuckles bleached white where I gripped the edge of Padrino’s coffin. The wood was polished to a high shine, cold under my fingers. I glared at him, an unfamiliar ache blooming in my cold heart. He looked small now. Shrun
