Elena was given to him - not asked, not chosen, just handed over as if her life belonged to someone else. She is fragile, unloved, and wary of every touch, every glance. Lorenzo De Luca, ruthless, possessive, and feared by everyone, is the only man who can claim her. She hates him... but her body and heart refuse to obey. As danger closes in and secrets threaten to destroy everything, their twisted bond grows - a dance of desire, dominance, and betrayal. Will Elena survive Lorenzo's world of power, passion, and ruthless obsession, or will she lose herself completely to the man who owns her?

BILLIONAIRE MAFIA LORD & HIS GIFTED BRIDE Chapter 1 Contracted to him

Elena arrived quietly. Not crying. Not begging. Not even apologizing. Just a girl standing at the doorway of Lorenzo De Luca's private residence, clutching a small handbag to her chest as if it were the last thing in the world that had ever chosen her.

Her coat was thin, shoes scuffed, and posture careful, like she had been trained to take up as little space as possible. Soft mouth. Long lashes. Skin that seemed too fragile to be admired. She didn't demand attention. She barely wanted it.

Lorenzo didn't rise from his chair. One ankle rested over the other as he studied her. Slow, measured. Assessing. Waiting to see where the weakness would show.

"This is her," said the man behind her, voice too eager.

Lorenzo said nothing. The silence stretched. She lowered her eyes instinctively, curling into herself.

That annoyed him.

"Does she speak?" he asked.

"Of course," her guardian said. "She's... shy."

Shy was a lie people used when the truth was crueler.

Lorenzo leaned forward. "What's your name?"

"Elena," she whispered.

Only her first name. As if she didn't deserve more.

"Look at me."

Her breath caught. Slowly, obediently, she raised her eyes. It wasn't fear. It wasn't confidence. Just quiet, almost hopeless acceptance.

Something sharp lodged itself in his chest.

They talked around her. Debts, promises, obligations she had no say in. She stood there, nodding politely, hands folded like she might be punished for moving wrong.

When the men finally left, relief crossed her face before she could stop it.

"You're relieved," he said.

She froze. "I- I didn't mean-"

"Sit," he interrupted.

Perching on the edge of the chair, she obeyed, smoothing her skirt three times, tucking her hair behind her ear, then letting it fall again.

"You know why you're here," he said.

"Yes," she whispered.

"And you agreed to this?"

"Yes," she repeated, quieter. Hesitation lingered. That hesitation mattered.

"You don't sound certain."

"I wasn't asked," she admitted, voice trembling, "in a way that allowed me to say no."

There it was. Small, honest, devastating.

Lorenzo stood. She flinched - not dramatically, just a brief tightening of her shoulders.

His jaw clenched.

He stopped in front of her. Close enough that she could smell him - dark, expensive, dangerous.

"You're safe here," he said.

"Safe?" she whispered, uncertainty shading her tone.

"Yes," he said. "But don't confuse safety with freedom."

Her eyes dropped. "I wouldn't."

He tilted her chin with one finger. Not gentle. Not rough. Deliberate.

"You belong to me now. That doesn't mean I'll hurt you. It means no one else will."

Her breath stuttered. Relief flickered, followed instantly by shame.

"I understand," she whispered.

He studied her, then said softly, "You're shaking."

"I always do," she admitted.

Her honesty struck something unexpected in him.

That night, she expected him to touch her. Expected cruelty, cold indifference, punishment.

What she didn't expect was distance.

He showed her where she would sleep. Gave her space. Said nothing more.

That hurt more than anything.

Because lying alone in a bed too large for her, she realized something terrifying: she wanted his attention.

Even if it hurt.

In the dark, barely audible, she whispered, "Goodnight."

A pause. Then his voice, low and controlled, came from beside her. "Sleep. You're mine now. No one takes what's mine."

Her chest tightened.

And just as she began to close her eyes, she heard it - a sharp, metallic click from the lock on the bedroom door.

The kind of click that wasn't supposed to happen.

Not tonight.

And then a voice, rough and unfamiliar, murmured through the shadows:

"Did he really think no one would try to take what's his?"

Her heart stopped.

Because it wasn't just a visitor. It wasn't just a threat. It was the first sign that her life, her fragile safety, and even Lorenzo himself were about to explode into danger she couldn't run from.......

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
