The Don’s Captive Bride
“Will you give me your life in exchange for your father's?” He whispered in my ears, as he traced down my face, to the skin on my neck, with the cold edge of his gun.
“No… Irene, don't…,” my father begged faintly from where he lay, straining against the grip of Diego’s men.
"Yes,” I blurted out, a tremor in my voice.
“If that's what it takes, then… Take me!” I surrendered, closing my eyes.

How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
Would you trade your soul to the devil to save theirs?
Well, I did.
I, Irene Herrera, offered myself to the Mafia Devil, Diego Vargas, in exchange for my father's life.
I became his captive bride.
He put me through hell, yet… I refused to break.
I played his game, but I made my own rules, breaking his.
I challenged him at every chance, defying the Almighty Diego.
He was captivated by my rebellious spirit.
As we drew closer, I started to see the man behind the mask, he was hurt, lonely, and haunted by the ghost of his lost love.
I was drawn to his broken heart.
Soon, the lines between captor and captive blurred for us, as we lost ourselves in a flaming love affair.
But what happens when I learn that my long lost sister was Diego’s ex-lover, involved in a plot to destroy him?
This conspiracy arises again and Diego’s life is threatened.
I face a choice to either seize this chance to escape, and leave him to die, or stay and protect the man I now love, even if it could cost me my life.
Whatever choice I make, Love or survival, am I justified?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
