no villain

Territorial Mafia Series 1: DEMETRI SYLVESTRE 𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒. 𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐒. 𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐒. Demetri Sylvestre is more than just a man—he’s a ruthless force. At 31, he rules the criminal underworld with power, wealth, and a deadly charm that no one dares to resist. No commitments. No complications. Just pure, unbridled pleasure. Until Snow Hidalgo crashes into his world. At 24, she’s the dazzling big-screen starlet that has the world at her feet. Stunning. Untouchable. Kindhearted. But she's already engaged to someone else. Not just anyone but his own half-brother, Marcus. The golden boy. The perfect one. The man who has everything handed to him—including Snow. But Demetri doesn’t share. If he can’t have her the right way, he’ll take her the wrong way. A drunken wedding. A shattered romance. A web of lies that turns him into the villain of her story. At first, it was just lust. He wanted to own her, to bend her to his will. But the deeper he sinks into obsession, the more he realizes—he can’t breathe without her. He can’t exist without her. And even if she hates him, even if she pushes him away, he will stay. Possessively. Obsessively. Because love isn’t always sweet. Sometimes, it’s a relentless storm. A dark, dangerous obsession. And Demetri Sylvestre will never let her go.

Xavier Storm was a man who thrived on control. Ruthless in business and merciless in vengeance, he knew exactly where to strike to bring an enemy to their knees. And Marie Lockwood was the perfect target. A seductress, a spy, a woman who played with fire and never got burned—until now. She had destroyed his best friend, and for that, Xavier would make her suffer. But Marie was not the villain he thought she was. Framed by the very man she served, she had become the fall girl for crimes she didn’t commit. Betrayed, hunted, and trapped in a game she never wanted to play, she vowed that no man would ever see her break. Not even Xavier Storm. He wanted revenge, but she wouldn’t beg. He wanted to break her, but she knew how to endure pain. What neither of them expected was the fire that ignited between them, a dark and all-consuming obsession that blurred the lines between hatred and desire. The deeper Xavier dug, the more Marie’s mask began to crack, and with every secret he uncovered, he realized he had miscalculated. Because in shattering her, he was unraveling himself. And by the time the truth came to light, he would have to face the one thing he never saw coming— that he had fallen for her.
