Chapter 1: THE DEAL

The heavy rain pounded the streets of New York, its relentless rhythm echoing in the distance as Isabella Carter stepped onto the slick pavement. The cold night air cut through her thin coat, and every droplet that splashed against her face felt like a reminder of the turmoil in her heart. Tonight, the world she once knew was crumbling—her father's company, Carter Holdings, had been drowning in debt ever since her stepmother Vivian's reckless spending left them vulnerable. And now, with creditors knocking at the door and her family's legacy at stake, Isabella had no choice but to accept a fate that felt more like a sentence than salvation.She approached the towering glass building of Kingston Enterprises with trepidation. Every step she took was weighted with desperation and the lingering taste of betrayal. Inside, the opulence was in stark contrast to the despair churning within her. Golden chandeliers, polished marble floors, and an air of cold efficiency greeted her as she made he

Chapter Two: The Unspoken Secrets and a Dangerous Discovery

The Kingston estate was beautiful, but it felt nothing like home. Isabella sat at the edge of the massive bed, staring at the luxurious room that now belonged to her. The events of the past twenty-four hours still felt surreal. Married. To a man she barely knew. A man who was supposed to marry her stepsister. And yet, here she was. Isabella Kingston. Her fingers ran over the smooth gold band on her finger. It felt foreign, like a shackle rather than a promise. A soft knock on the door made her snap out of her thoughts. The door creaked open, and the head maid entered. "Good morning, Mrs. Kingston," the woman greeted, her voice polite but devoid of warmth. "Mr. Kingston has requested you join him for breakfast." Requested. It wasn’t a question. It was an order. Isabella swallowed her pride and nodded. "Lead the way." The halls of the mansion were eerily quiet as she followed the maid through the house. Sunlight streamed in through the tall windows, illuminating the marble floo

Chapter 3: No Way Out

The pounding of footsteps in the hallway sent a jolt of adrenaline through Isabella’s veins. Someone was coming. Not Jason’s men. Not Alexander’s allies. Something worse. Jason cursed under his breath. “You want to save him?” He glanced at Isabella before nodding toward the door. “Then move.” Alexander let out a ragged breath, his free hand pressing against the wound in his side. “We don’t have time for this,” he gritted out. Isabella’s grip on the gun remained firm, but for the first time, uncertainty crept into her thoughts. Jason had just shot Alexander—but now he was helping him? Why? She had no time to dwell on it. The door handle rattled. “Move!” Jason hissed. Isabella didn’t need to be told twice. She bolted toward Alexander, slipping her arm around his waist just as Jason did the same on the other side. The moment her hand brushed Alexander’s blood-soaked shirt, reality slammed into her. He was hurt. Badly. Jason reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun

Chapter 4: Nowhere Is Safe

The moment the gunfire outside stopped, a heavy silence filled the air. Isabella pressed herself against the wall, her breath uneven. She could hear footsteps crunching against dead leaves, slow and measured, like a predator closing in on its prey. Jason gripped his wounded arm, his gun still raised despite the blood seeping through his shirt. His face was pale, but his blue eyes were sharp. “They’re waiting,” he muttered. “Trying to make us panic.”Isabella tightened her grip on her weapon. “They don’t need to. We’re already out of options.” Alexander groaned from the couch, his face slick with sweat. His breathing was shallow, and she could feel the heat radiating off his skin. He wouldn’t last much longer. Jason cursed under his breath. “We need to get out of here. Fast.” “Through where?” Isabella hissed. “Front door’s a kill zone. Windows are covered.” Jason’s jaw clenched. He turned his head slightly, listening.Then— A slow clap echoed from outside. “Well, well,”

Chapter 5: The Ghost in the Shadows

The weight of Dante’s words followed Isabella long after she left his office."Think carefully about whose side you’re on."The cryptic warning gnawed at her, sending her mind into a storm of doubts. She had spent years surviving on instinct, but now, for the first time, she wasn’t sure who the enemy really was.As she walked through the dimly lit hallways of the safe house, her fingers twitched at her sides. Dante wasn’t a man to throw around empty threats. He knew something.The question was—what?But as she reached the door, something else caught her attention.Muffled voices.Low. Tense.She paused, pressing her ear against the door.Jason’s voice—sharp, but controlled. "You think I meant to shoot you?"A pause. Then Alexander’s voice, quieter but laced with steel. "You hesitated. That’s what got me shot."Jason scoffed. "I hesitated because I didn’t know who the hell to trust in that moment."Alexander let out a humorless chuckle. "Right. And now?"Silence.Then Jason muttered, "

Chapter 6: Unraveling Truths

The tension in the air was suffocating. Isabella’s pulse hammered in her ears, and her breath came in shallow, panicked gasps. Her hands were still clenched around the gun, though she no longer felt its weight—only the suffocating feeling that had settled in her chest. Raúl’s words echoed in her mind, each one slicing deeper than the last. “He lied to you, Isabella.” Her father? Lied? She couldn’t process it—couldn’t make sense of what he was saying. The truth felt like an explosion, like a bomb waiting to tear apart everything she knew. “About who really pulled the trigger.” For a split second, everything went still. The room felt as if it was closing in on her. Her thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and horror. Her father was the one who had kept her safe from the dangerous world outside, from the truth. But why had he never told her? Why had he shielded her from the truth? A cold sweat broke out on her skin as memories she’d pushed deep into her subconscious came ru

Chapter 7 – The Devil’s Bargain

The night air was thick with tension as Isabella stood in the center of Alexander’s hidden mansion, her heart pounding against her ribs. Jason’s arrival had confirmed what she feared—Dante’s disappearance wasn’t random. It was calculated. And whoever took him wanted to send a message. But that wasn’t the only thing haunting her. Her father’s sins were creeping into the light, forcing her to face a past she never understood. Alexander had known the truth all along. He had married her with secrets buried deep beneath his cold exterior, and now, she was tangled in a world where trust was a luxury she could no longer afford. Alexander paced the room, his presence commanding, his sharp mind already calculating their next move. His men stood around him like shadows—Marcus, Damien, and Nikolai—all waiting for orders. Jason crossed his arms, eyes locked onto Alex. “We need to move fast. If James Michelle was Dante’s last contact, then he’s already a target. If Callum gets to him first

Chapter 8 The Trap is Set

The taste of Alexander’s kiss still lingered on Isabella’s lips, but the weight of Moretti’s words crushed her like a storm. "You have no idea who your husband really is." The sentence echoed in her mind, unraveling everything she thought she knew. Her heart pounded as she searched Alexander’s face for any flicker of emotion, any denial—but there was none. Just calculated silence. “You built your empire by taking Moretti’s,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Is that true?” Alexander’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t deny it. Her stomach twisted. “Then tell me, Alexander. Did you marry me to protect me… or to keep me under control?” For a fleeting moment, something flickered in his gaze—something raw, unguarded. But just as quickly, it was gone. “I married you,” he said carefully, his voice unreadable, “because it was the only way to ensure your safety.” Her pulse quickened. “That’s not an answer.” “It’s the only answer you’re getting.” Before she could p

Chapter 9 Love and War

Callum’s words sliced through the air like a blade, leaving behind a suffocating silence. Isabella’s breath caught. If Adrian Costa wasn’t after her, then who? Alexander’s grip on his gun tightened, his voice razor-sharp. “Talk.” Callum smirked, rolling his shoulders despite the blood caked on his face. “Now, Kingston, you know me better than that. I never give something for nothing.” Jason cocked his gun and pressed it hard against Callum’s skull. “Then let’s make it nothing.” Callum chuckled, completely unfazed. “Please. If you were going to kill me, you’d have done it already.” His bruised gaze flickered toward Isabella, his lips curling slightly. That look.Like he knew something she didn’t. She hated it. Alexander moved swiftly, dangerously, his presence thick with warning. “Who is Adrian going after?” Callum sighed, dragging it out before his smirk deepened. “He’s after your brother.” The world shifted. Alexander froze. His expression was unreadable,

Chapter 10 The Truth That Shatters

The air in Alexander’s office was suffocating. Isabella stood motionless, every muscle in her body wound tight as Callum leaned back in his chair, a lazy smirk stretching across his face. He was enjoying this, dragging out every second of the truth that was about to destroy her. Alexander stood beside her, silent and unreadable. But Isabella wasn’t blind—his fists were clenched, his breathing was controlled but heavier than usual. And that silence told her everything. Her heart pounded. “What are you talking about?” Callum sighed, tilting his head as if considering how best to break her. “I’m talking about the fact that you were never meant to be your father’s daughter.” A sick chill crept down Isabella’s spine. “That’s a lie,” she whispered, but the tremor in her voice betrayed her. Callum’s smirk deepened. “Oh, but it’s not. You see, your father’s wife—the woman who raised you—fell into a coma after giving birth. And the baby she carried?” He tilted his head, drawing
