"I’ll give you everything a wife deserves—protection, loyalty, power. But love? I can’t give you that." That’s what Nicholas Baldocchi said the night he proposed. Our marriage was never about love. It was a deal—one meant to unite two mafia dynasties and end years of bloodshed. I told myself I could survive it. After all...he was the love of my life. I dared to hope that beneath his cold exterior, there might be something real. I was wrong. Now I’m stuck in a cold, loveless marriage with a man in love with someone else and caught in the middle of a war fueled by old family secrets and deep betrayal. Maximus Vanucci is ruthless and secretive, his thirst for revenge darker than I ever imagined. I am his ultimate leverage. And his obsession. And he won’t stop at nothing to have me. Even if I belonged to his brother—Nicholas. In a fight between two enemies bound by blood and sharing a past written in revenge, who will lose everything? And where will I stand when the storm finally hits? PS: Very steamy, 18+ content ahead.

After seven years of marriage, my wife had rarely asked me to accompany her back to her parents' home. She always said she didn't want me stepping into that cramped, crowded little house and feeling wronged. This year, during the New Year, I happened to be in the city where my in-laws lived for a business trip. By chance, I came across a local video online. It was posted by a resident of an upscale neighborhood. "Mom, Dad, my beloved wife and son—thank you for giving an orphan like me a complete and happy life." The elderly couple in the video were dressed in the same high-end outfits I had bought for my in-laws. I thought of how frugal they had always been, how they lived simply and spared every penny. A decision formed in my mind: tomorrow, I would buy them a place in that very neighborhood, in their name, so they could enjoy a comfortable retirement. It would be my small act of filial piety. But the next day, the moment I stepped into the residential complex, I saw my in-laws coming downstairs—with my wife and a child. Could it be that my wife had secretly bought them an apartment? I pressed my lips together, about to step forward, when a man rushed over and caught my father-in-law just as he nearly stumbled. "Dad, careful now." My footsteps froze. My wife was an only child. I had never heard of any foster relatives. He called my father-in-law "Dad." Then… who was I?

Baru pertama kali saja sudah ada primadona kelas yang nyerahin diri ke kamu." "Gimana rasanya adik tiriku?" Ethan menjawab dengan nada santai, "Luarannya memang tampak polos, tapi di ranjang ... luar biasa liar." Gelak tawa memenuhi ruangan itu. "Jadi, ke depannya aku harus panggil dia adik atau kakak ipar?" tanya Lucas. Namun, wajah Ethan tiba-tiba berubah dingin. "Kakak ipar apanya? Aku lagi coba dekati kapten tim pemandu sorak, takut dia kecewa sama kemampuanku, jadi Cynthia aku jadikan latihan dulu." "Oh ya, soal aku tidur sama Cynthia, jangan sampai Sylvia tahu.
