Chapter 1

Sienna POV

The live feed on the sixty-inch monitor was grainy, yet the image was sharp enough to stop my heart.

My father was on his knees.

My mother was beside him.

They were bound with zip ties, their ankles weighed down by cinder blocks, teetering on the edge of the rusted pier where I had spent my childhood gutting mackerel.

"Look at them, Sienna."

Dante Vitiello didn't shout.

He didn't have to.

As the Capo dei Capi of the New York families, his whisper carried more weight than a gunshot.

I stood in the center of his mahogany office, my hands trembling at my sides.

I couldn't scream.

I hadn't spoken a word since I was six years old, since the day I watched a rival gang cut out my uncle's tongue.

Dante knew this.

He used my silence like a weapon.

He walked around his desk, his Italian suit cutting a sharp silhouette against the city skyline.

He smelled of expensive bourbon and the cold, metallic tang of violence.

"You have been difficult lately," he said, stopping right in front of me. "Refusing to attend the gala. Refusing to accept Valeria's position in this house."

He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

His touch was ice, yet it burned like a brand.

"Valeria is family," he continued, his voice devoid of empathy. "Her father controls the ports. She stays. You accept it. Or the feed goes dark."

He gestured to the screen.

On the monitor, a masked soldier held a pistol to my father's head.

My father, a man who smelled of salt and sweat, who paid Dante protection money every week just to breathe.

I signed frantically, my hands moving in a blur of desperation.

She humiliates me. She treats me like a servant in my own home.

Dante caught my wrists.

His grip was bruising, halting my voice before I could finish the sentence.

"You are not a servant," he growled, his dark eyes boring into mine. "You are a Vitiello. Act like it. Pride is a luxury you cannot afford when your parents are at the bottom of the Hudson."

The door to the office opened.

Valeria walked in.

She was beautiful in a way that made your stomach hurt-sharp, polished, and lethal.

Tall, blonde, vicious.

She wore a silk robe that I recognized.

It was mine.

"Dante," she purred, ignoring me completely as if I were part of the furniture. "My father is asking about the shipment."

Dante didn't let go of my wrists.

"It's handled," he said to her, eyes still locked on me. "Sienna was just agreeing to our terms."

He looked at the screen again.

"Nod," he commanded.

I looked at my parents.

My mother was crying, her shoulders shaking even through the pixelated feed.

I felt bile rise in my throat.

I nodded.

One stiff, broken movement.

Dante released me.

"Good girl."

He pulled his phone out and typed a message.

On the screen, the soldier lowered the gun and stepped back.

But they didn't cut the zip ties.

"They stay there for the night," Dante said, turning his back on me to pour a drink for Valeria. "To remind you of the consequences of disobedience."

I turned and ran.

I ran out of the office, down the marble hallway that felt more like a mausoleum than a home.

I made it to the bathroom and locked the door.

I sank to the floor, hugging my knees against my chest to keep from falling apart.

Accepting Valeria meant accepting death by a thousand cuts.

Refusing meant my parents' death.

There was no way out.

Not alive.

Unless I changed the rules.

I pulled my burner phone from my pocket.

My hands shook so hard I dropped it twice before I could unlock the screen.

I texted Gia.

I need it. The pufferfish toxin. Tonight.

The reply came three seconds later.

Are you sure? There is no coming back from this.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Pale skin, hollow eyes.

The mute fisherman's daughter who thought she could marry a King and survive.

I'm sure, I typed back.

Bring it to the back gate.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

C.D
4.5

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Huo Wuer
4.5

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
