All I want is Power. The authority to exact vengeance on those who have mistreated my family and me. They took the lives of my loved ones, and I will take revenge on them in a manner far more severe than merely ending their own lives. - "How incredibly breathtaking. You are beautiful...Anna." I check myself in the mirror. Scrutinizing my face starting from my forehead and working my way down to the base of my neck. I do this while keeping my chin up and my head held high. I can't help but feel content as I observe how everything that has been snatched away from me has resulted in something very different from what it was before. I smiled triumphantly, but tears of bitterness and hatred began to fall down my face. They took everything from me. This will be the final chapter of the years I spent living in anguish...and the beginning of my perfect seduction.

Le dos de Lana heurta le mur alors que Lancelot s'avançait vers elle, les yeux remplis de frustration et d'autre chose. Quelque chose de plus dangereux . « Je ne t'appartiens pas », cracha-t-elle en levant le menton. Lance sourit, d'un sourire qui lui donna des frissons dans le dos. Ses mains s'abattirent contre le mur de chaque côté de sa tête, l'emprisonnant. « Ah bon ? » Sa voix était grave. « Alors pourquoi me regardes-tu comme si tu voulais que je te prenne ici même ? » Elle se retrouva soudain incapable de respirer et se maudit pour la façon dont son corps la trahissait. Son regard se posa sur ses lèvres et il se pencha juste assez pour qu'elle sente son souffle, sa chaleur. « Menteuse. » Elle appuya ses paumes contre son torse, avec l'intention de le repousser, mais dès qu'elle le toucha, ses doigts se recroquevillèrent, le rapprochant d'elle au contraire. « Tu vois ? Tu parles comme si tu me détestais, mais ton corps ? » Son genou se glissa entre ses cuisses, les écartant légèrement. « Ton corps raconte une toute autre histoire, ma chérie. » Lana retint son souffle, le cœur battant à tout rompre contre ses côtes. « Tu es un salaud arrogant. » « Et toi, murmura-t-il en effleurant ses lèvres contre sa mâchoire, la taquinant, la ruinant, tu trembles. « Je te déteste », murmura-t-elle, mais sa voix était essoufflée, faible. Il releva enfin la tête, sa bouche à quelques centimètres de la sienne. « Non, ce n'est pas vrai », dit-il avec assurance. « Tu me désires, Lana. Tu m'as toujours désiré. » Son pouls battait dans ses oreilles tandis que ses doigts descendaient le long de son bras, puis plus bas, effleurant à peine la courbe de sa taille.

That year, during the Sicilian arms trafficking conflict, my lover of three years, Silvio, deliberately betrayed my transport routes at a critical moment in a deal with the rival "DiMarco" family, causing me to lose all my territory. He immediately defected to the DiMarco family's leader Marina, becoming her lover. As he left, he didn't even bother to disguise his betrayal, coldly tossing out, "What we had was just business, nothing personal." While I was burdened with my family's blood debts and pushed to the edge of a cliff, Lorenzo, who had secretly harbored feelings for me since childhood, found me and offered his family's entire fortune. "Isabella, don't be afraid. In my eyes, you'll always be Sicily's most formidable Queen of the Arms Trade," he said. He took the Colt pistol from my hand, and his voice was gentle yet resolute. Five years later, my power resurged. I was about to completely crush Marina's smuggling network and reclaim everything I had lost. My caporegimes, the captains of my organization, were ready and waiting for my command. But on the night before the operation, my weapons warehouse suddenly exploded, turning priceless arms into worthless scrap metal. I barely escaped through the thick smoke, my body covered in burns. In a secluded monastery, I overheard Lorenzo and Silvio whispering outside my door. "You really had the guts to blow up the arsenal. Weren't you afraid of blasting her to pieces too?" Silvio's voice carried a mocking tone. "If she died, just died. I've always loved Marina. If it weren't for that unlucky family marriage lottery five years ago, I wouldn't have had to endure this ugly bitch for all this time." Lorenzo's voice was ice-cold and unfamiliar. I closed my eyes, feeling like a dagger had pierced my chest. Explosion. Arranged marriage. Ugly bitch. So those five years of shared hardship were just his unwilling choice after losing a high-stakes gamble. "I married her to keep watch. If it weren't for me paving
