"Hatred is still an emotion, sweetheart," I murmured, stepping closer. "That means you still care." Forced into a marriage with the man who despises her family, Isla vows to resist him. But Dante is a man who always gets what he wants, and what he wants… is her. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Serena finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of power, revenge, and an undeniable attraction she can't escape. Because in Dante’s world, love isn’t gentle. It’s a war. And Serena is about to learn—when the Don wants something, he takes it.
view moreIsla~It's been two days. Two days since I've been locked up in this room. All I did was cry myself to sleep and thrash various objects in the room.It was all my fault. My brother was dead because of me.Maybe if I wasn't trying to run from my fate or fight it, I wouldn't be in this mess right now. I had lost both my brother and my freedom.A series of knock suddenly came from the door and I already knew who they were. Apparently, Dante had hired an entire posse of personal attendants to look after me. I was however unmoved by this gesture."Mrs Moretti?" A voice called out from outside and I frowned.That name. I was now bearing the surname of my brother's killer. It made me feel like every bit of a murderer as Dante is, and I hated that feeling.I tightened my grip on the bedsheet as they continued to knock and call for me."Mrs Moretti, please let us in." "Go away!" I screamed at them, sinking further into the king-sized bed. I didn't want to be around anyone right now. Why can'
Dante~ Isla hadn’t said a word since we left the church, which was expected. I did kill her brother. She sat stiffly in the backseat, her wedding dress stained with blood that wasn't hers. Her hands trembled in between her laps, but she didn’t wipe away the tears streaming down her face. She didn’t look at me, didn’t acknowledge me. That was fine. She would still have to face me sooner or later. The car ride was silent, the tension thick enough to choke on. My men were in the front, driving us back to my estate, while I sat beside her, watching with keen interest. I had never been with a redhead before and a part of me was curious to know how she would taste. I knew however, that there was absolutely no need to rush. She now belonged to me. Those lush lips of hers would certainly be put to good use, and those eyes! She definitely had her father's eyes. The hatred burning in them wasn’t new. I had seen it in countless people before her. It only made me more obsessed with brea
Isla~This was it. This was the moment my entire life would come crashing down. Today, I would officially be wedded to Dante Moretti. I would be wedded to a man who had no problem with wiping out my entire family. The sound of the wedding bells sent jolts through my body, making me feel more like a prisoner, who was about to be executed on a death row. With every step I took towards the altar, I felt suffocated by the wedding dress and veil over my face. The bouquet of flowers felt like thorns in my hands and the scent made me sick to my stomach. A small crowd of people were already gathered, which included my parents and household staff. I couldn't see Matteo anywhere, which was quite understandable. I didn't want to be here too. I was walking down the aisle by myself, as my father was now confined to a wheelchair. He still had bullet wounds in his thighs and I remember my mother's words to me on his account. "This is all your fault!" She had yelled angrily at me. "
Isla~ Terror. That was all I felt as he grabbed hold of my wrist, pulling me back into the house. "Let go of me, you monster!" I screeched. "Go ahead, little princess. Scream all you want!" Dante mocked, his eyes reflecting something sinister. With every attempt I made to free myself, his grip only seemed to get tighter. I was absolutely no match for his raw strength. "Nobody's coming to save you." I panicked even more as he dragged me up the flight of stairs. I was only beginning to notice that he didn't come alone. He was accompanied by an entourage of masked men in black coats, all armed to the teeth. It made me realize that he was even more dangerous, more powerful than I've been made to believe. I'd rather die than be his bride. We soon arrived at my family's living room and he forcefully shoved me onto a nearby sofa. Where the hell was everybody? Weren't they hearing my screams? Dante plopped himself down on a sofa just across from me. Even sitting, he still looked l
Isla~ Tonight, I was getting engaged to my father's sworn enemy, a man with a vendetta against our family. I stared blankly at my reflection in the mirror, as I was being dolled up in preparation for his arrival. My supposed husband-to-be would be here anytime from now, and I had to look perfect for him. I took a look at the black, evening dress that ran all the way down to my feet. It clung to me like a second skin, it's expensive noose tightening around my body. The dress was stunning, to say the least but it might as well be a funeral attire. A part of me was about to die tonight. It was a gift from HIM, I was told. A sigh left my lips as my mind suddenly drifted off to Jake, my boyfriend. Just a few days ago, he had called to inform me that he would be coming back to Vegas, to me. He had been away for years and we excitedly made plans on all the things we would do, places we would visit together. I guess none of those would be happening now. By the time he gets back, I
