I'm Amara. Never been loved by my parents. Never been liked by my friends. Until one guy who saw me through my walls. He made me believe I'm loveable. Gave me strength to dream. Took my heart and crushed it. Left me with nothing. When i finally gathered the pieces he is back this time now as my boss. And he wants me back. Again. But I'm no more a naive girl i once was. He can't fool me with his charms again or that's what i thought. Will I be able to resist his charm this time?

Chapter 1 Pilot

I wake up and check my watch on the bedside table. Crap i overslept. i hurriedly change into my office attire with a toothbrush in my mouth. I have to hurry otherwise i am going the miss the bus which is the last thing i want. I ran to the bus stop and the see the bus is leaving. If i miss this bus i will have to wait 30 minutes for the next one.

"Stop the bus please" I shouted running after the bus. I tripped over a stone and fell on the ground. Bloody hell now my shoes are broken. What a fabulous start to my day. Now i have to go back to my house and change my shoes. It will make me even more late. I don't want my boss to hate me more than he already does.

I reach the office. I just want to sneak into my cabin without being spotted. But of course today nature decided it wants to make me suffer. I am almost near my cabin door just few more steps and i will be safe. A voice came from behind me "You are late" Dang it.

Does he think I not know that? I can't say this to his face. Wish i could. So i just apologized. Thankfully today he isn't in the mood to mess with me. At least something is working out in my favor. I got off with a warning only.

I work in a books publishing company. I absolutely adore my job. I have been a reader ever since i can remember. So when i heard there is a job which literally pays you to read books and review them. I jumped at the opportunity and thankfully got it. I'm basically living the life every reader wants.

I start reading the book which i have to review by tomorrow. Shit It's a romance book. I used to love reading romance until i tasted how it felt and got my heart broken. Now i avoid reading such books. Don't want to trigger my trauma. I avoid everything related to romance like a plague. I am 22 and only been in a relationship once. How sad is that?But work is work. I gotta do it.

It is the same old cliche book where heroine fells in love with a boy and boom they have a happy ending. Same old bullshit. Real life doesn't work like that. I threw the book on my desk and got up i am so not in the mood to read the cheesy stuff.

I look up to see it was lunch time. I'm so hungry i didn't even eat breakfast today. I eat my lunch alone everyday because i have no friends. Trust me it's not as depressing as it sounds. Being alone doesn't bother me like many people. Infact i adore my solitude and peace. I fail to understand why people look for love to fill their loneliness. My past experience has taught me it's better to stay alone for the rest of your life than getting your heart crushed. I don't want to experience that again in my life.

Finally office time has ended. I can't wait to go home. Today was so shitty now i just want to curl up in my bed and read a thriller. I am crossing the road when a car stopped just inches away from me. The impact made me fell. The driver don't even have the decency to check if I'm ok and just drove away.

"Asshole" My clothes are all covered with dirt. Just when i thought my day couldn't get anymore shitty. It did.Looks like mother nature isn't done making me suffer yet. i want to cry out of frustration. I just want to go home. I miss my fluffy bed, my unicorn pillow. My teddy. Don't judge me I'm 22 and still sleeps with a pillow.

Nadia's life was a symphony of flour, sugar, and the contented sighs of satisfied customers. Her bakery, "Flour & Fancy," was a haven of warmth and comfort, away from the whispers of the city's underbelly. One rainy afternoon, a misplaced invitation shattered the tranquility. Addressed to "Nadia Petrova," it spoke of a lavish wedding for a couple she didn't recognize. Intrigued by the strange coincidence and fueled by a touch of reckless curiosity, Nadia tucked the invitation into her pocket. Over the following weeks, the misplaced invitation became a twisted calling card. Cryptic messages, delivered through seemingly ordinary means – tucked under her bakery door, finding it in her purse – drew Nadia deeper into Dante's world. Torn between her fear and a growing fascination with the man behind the power, Nadia began to search for the enigmatic Don only to come up with nothing not even his picture. Her creations, infused with love and a hint of rebellion, became a silent conversation between them. The night of the wedding, a world unseen by Nadia unfolded. The venue, a mansion shrouded in shadows, pulsed with a dangerous energy. Inside, opulent chaos reigned – glittering gowns, veiled threats exchanged under crystal chandeliers, and a tension that crackled in the air. Here, Nadia encountered Dante Russo, the enigmatic Don. His gaze, as sharp as obsidian, held a flicker of surprise when he saw her. Despite the danger radiating from him, Nadia couldn't deny a spark of attraction. She found herself to be the center of the invitation. She was the bride without even realizing it. Dante realizes that there was a mix-up. She was not the girl he hired to be his fake bride. To save face, he comes up with a plan. She had two choices either accept the deal or get killed by the Don. As Nadia learned more about Dante's world, the harsh realities of the mafia life clashed with her kind heart. Witnessing a brutal act of violence forced her to confront the darkness that lurked beneath the surface. Their connection, a forbidden dance on the edge of a knife, threatened to unravel everything. One night, she stumbled upon a truth. They used her as bait, luring Dante into a trap. The invitation was not a mix-up. It was deliberately sent by her husband's brother. The ensuing chaos forced Nadia to choose – retreat to the safety of her bakery or fight for the man who had awakened a fierce protectiveness within her. As she was picking up the broken pieces, she came to know the dark secret. Her parents were killed by Dante Russo 10 years ago. Thrown into yet another challenge, she navigated her way through. In the end, Dante dismantled the violent operations of the Russo family, leaving behind a legacy of justice. Nadia, no longer just a baker, became his partner, not just in love, but in building a new future.
