A Pawn in His Dirty Game
“"Beg, Ursula," His voice dropped low. "On your knees." I clenched my fist and fell to my knees. "Please." Tears stung my eyes. He doesn't just want her compliance-he wants her on her knees. And she swore she'd never beg for anyone. Not even him. Zachary Wellington; cold, ruthless, feared by everyone except one woman; Valerie Hampton, the one woman he despises so much since high school . She bullied his first love and she died when she discovered a secret about Valerie. Years later, they meet again. Only this time, it's no accident. Zachary orchestrated an arranged marriage to claim his billion-dollar inheritance . He calls her Ursula - the villain in his love story and she calls him Dracula, the devil's spawn . Fueled by old wounds and a twisted thirst for revenge, he turns their union into a twisted game of chess guided by cold rules, where every move is calculated, and trust is a luxury both can't afford. But what begins as punishment spirals into something far more dangerous: desire, obsession, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. From betrayal and childhood trauma to a violent heir lurking in the shadows, Valerie and Zachary are about to uncover a truth that could destroy them both. Love was never part of the plan. But in a marriage built on lies and vengeance, it might be their only way out.”
