He Ruined Me And Left Me With A Son, Now I Must Marry Him!

TRIGGER WARNING! This story contains graphic depictions of gun violence and murder, mafia-related threats and organized crime elements, sexual content, kidnapping, alcohol use, betrayal and emotional manipulation. Reader discretion is advised. — “Is there no other way?” I asked, totally subdued by the fact that this nightmare marriage was the only solution. “No, there isn’t,” he said coldly. “I can’t afford to lose my son and have you turned into a sex slave by the Romanovs.” “Your son?” I scoffed, the memory of him taking my virginity and vanishing without a trace slicing my heart. “You seem to have forgotten that you never intended on taking things further with me. God, you’re no different from the Romanovs!” He assessed me coolly with those dark eyes and then said with a note of finality, “He’s my son, Niamh, and you’ll have to become my wife.” My father was killed. My uncle sold me to the Russian mafia syndicate. And now, the man I hid my son from for five years—Massimo Valentino—is forcing me to be his wife. My survival and the safety of Matteo depend on this hated forced marriage. But the situation is worse than I thought: I am the key to a hidden vault that the Texas underworld is willing to kill for. With the war raging outside and a major betrayal brewing inside the Italian mafia syndicate, my safety depends entirely on Massimo. I have to forgive and trust the man who ruined me, or lose everything. This is the first installment in The Valentino Princes Series.

A Shotgun Wedding with the Mafia Don

“You need a wife.” She said. “What makes you think that you are cut out to be my wife?” Oliver asked. The smug smile on his lips was the only indication that he didn’t find her suggestion offensive. “I am not like any of the other women you’ve been with before, Mr. Morton.” Seductively, she let her fingers draw patterns across his chest. “Ms. Sophia, are you aware that you’re playing a dangerous game?” He asked, capturing her fingers that were busily tickling the five o’clock shadow along his jawline. “I am.” But really, was she? But this was not the time to back out now. To second-guess herself. “But are you brave enough to play my game?” She dared, looking him directly in the eyes. Without giving him time to react, she kissed him. Damn! She knew she should stop. This man was her enemy, but her body wouldn’t let her. She missed this. Being wanted. Being desired. Being... No! Not love. This was not love. Oliver saw her as an object. A beautiful woman to conquer, nothing more. And she should feel the same way. No! She could not fall back into his charms. Armed with this realization, she busily let her other hand wander off until she felt it. The hard, metallic weapon that he put aside. Grabbing it, she immediately placed it on his temple, mimicking his action earlier. Then, she gradually pulled her lips away. “Are you gonna kill me now?” The great Mafia Don asked, but she could not see any trace of fear in his eyes as he stared at her. Only curiosity. “No, as I said, I’m not like the woman you’re used to. I know what I want, and I get it.” She said confidently, while slightly pushing her body harder against his. Damn! Her body still responded the same way to him, just as she remembered it. “And what do you want, Ms. Sophia?” He asked, lifting his hand to cradle her chin gently against his fingers. But he never attempted to remove the gun she had placed threateningly against his temple. The most feared man in the city just sat quietly, watching her. “As I said, marry me?” *** Amelia Clarke might have been the curvy, nerdy girl who was constantly bullied and mocked by everyone, but she still won the heart of the Quarterback King. Oliver Lambert. But her happily ever after came to an end too soon. After four years of keeping their love affair a secret, she finally discovered that Oliver was not the man she thought he was. It turned out that he was the heir of the Morton Group and the next Mafia Don. Moreover, he was already engaged to a famous heiress. Now, Oliver’s father, the current Mafia Don, wanted her out of the picture. And he would do anything to finish the job. Leave Oliver, or he would make her and her family’s lives miserable. Give up the custody of her child, or the child would not see the light of day. Amelia tried to seek Oliver’s help, but the misunderstanding between them, plus Maximus manipulations, had already caused irreparable damage to their relationship. Left desperate and with no other option, she tried to run away with her family so she could protect her child. But the accident happened, taking the lives of her parents and unborn child. But was it really an accident? Left with nothing but a broken heart, she moved away. What started with love eventually turned to hate. What was once a promise of forever became a hunger for revenge. For six years, she lived with only one thing on her mind. To make her ex and his family pay. Motivated by vengeance, she returned as a completely different person. Amelia Clarke was dead. The chubby nerd was no more. In her place, Sophia Maddison was born. A supermodel and a promising entrepreneur. Her first agenda. Infiltrate the Morton’s business. Seduce the new Mafia Don. Oliver Morton. Marry him. Then, take everything that mattered to him. His business, his family, and even his child. *** [Warning: Mature steamy content, moderate violence, and some inappropriate language] COVER PHOTO - Credit to the owner.

My Love From Hell.

MY LOVE FROM HELL Synopsis She has no name. No family. No past. For as long as she can remember, she has lived on the streets—feeding from wastebins, sleeping under broken bridges, surviving on scraps the world discarded. Invisible. Unwanted. Forgotten. But the shadows have never forgotten her. Strange eyes follow her in the dark. Whispers crawl into her dreams. And on the night she is almost killed in an alley, a dangerously beautiful stranger appears — cold, commanding, and inhuman. He calls her Celestia. He claims he is her protector. Lucien is powerful, mysterious, and terrifyingly calm. He takes her into a mansion that feels alive and introduces her to beings that are far from human — demon hybrids, a higher vampire, creatures born of darkness. She should run. But she doesn’t. Because for the first time in her life, someone is protecting her. Soon, her nightmares become real. Witches gather in secret covens. Dark angels descend. Higher demons hunt her. She learns a truth that shatters everything: She carries angelic pure blood — a sacred, celestial essence powerful enough to grant dark forces access to Heaven itself if sacrificed. She is not a nobody. She is the key to a war between realms. And the most devastating truth of all? The man she is falling in love with… The man who saved her… The man who swore to protect her… Is the Prince of Hell. Now caught between Heaven and Hell, hunted by witches and demons, rejected by angels, and betrayed by destiny, she must choose who she truly is. A weapon. A sacrifice. Or the girl who dares to love the devil. Because in a war between light and darkness, love may be the most dangerous sin of all. warning:Mature content! Beware!!!

Soul Land: Reborn Yuhao, I Will Never Die in a Shura Field

[No System] [Semi-Invincible] [Harem/Multiple Heroines] [No Low-IQ Tropes] [Dual Shrek & Sun-Moon Academy Paths] When he opened his eyes again, Huo Yuhao had been reborn at the exact moment his Martial Soul first awakened. At this point in time, he hasn't lost everything yet—he still has the chance to make amends for every regret! ... ... "Excuse me, Mr. Huo Yuhao. As the author of this century’s best-selling series—including The Theory of Soul Ring Pseudo-Dantians, The Soul Core Loading Method for Soul Rings, The Evolution of Artificial Soul Rings and Soul Bones, The Integration of Soul Shells and Battle Armor, and On the Importance of Blue Silver Grass in the Development of Soul Engines—do you have any thoughts you'd like to share?" "Thoughts?" Huo Yuhao—the man hailed as the founder of modern Soul Tools, the Master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, and the man who 'Absolutely Will Not Die in a Shura field'—snatched the microphone and barked angrily at the camera: "I don't have any 'thoughts'! I just want to know: Who the hell is out there spreading rumors that I’m going to die in a Shura field?!" PS 1: While the book may seem lighthearted, it is actually "big brain" focused, featuring deep dives into the technical applications of Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and Soul Tools. PS 2: This story features multiple heroines; if that’s not your thing, consider this a fair warning. Also, all character designs will follow the manhua (manga) versions.
