Fall From Grace, Rise To Reign

For six years, Lainey devoted herself to Jeremy, earning only ridicule from their social circle. Everything changed when she overheard him tell his lover, "She's nothing but a lapdog." Heartbroken, Lainey found solace with a supposed escort. People thought it was a ploy to win Jeremy back, but Lainey only scoffed. "He's just a housekeeper's son faking his status. Without me, he's nothing." Then everyone realized she was the real powerhouse, owning both elite society and the underworld. Jeremy begged in vain; Lainey never looked back. Her new man, supposedly a gigolo but secretly high society's elite, kissed her before Jeremy. "Your ex is pathetic."

Chapter 6

Behind Jeremy, Erin's eyes flared with awe when she caught Dylan's face, but then cooled into open contempt.

"Miss White, even if you failed to win Jeremy, you shouldn't just pick a random guy," she said sharply, folding her arms.

Jeremy rested his hands on her shoulders and murmured softly, "Once I ignore her for a few days, she'll come crawling back to apologize."

After Erin nodded obediently, he turned back toward Lainey.

"Lainey, you'll regret this, I won't let this go so easily."

With those cutting words, he led his group away.

Watching their figures fade, resolve flickered quietly in Lainey's eyes.

If Jeremy had only kept his promise to marry her, he would have become the envy of all, but now...

She had repaid the life she owed, and it was time to make him pay.

Suddenly, a voice cut through her thoughts, sharp and hurried.

"Mr. Roberts, we found something," Ian said, breath tight as he stepped closer.

He froze the instant he noticed Lainey standing there beside Dylan.

"Mr. Roberts?" Lainey asked slowly, studying Dylan. "Are you with the Roberts family?"

Just as she was about to press for answers, Dylan leaned in with a lazy smile, "What, you dislike the title?" he whispered. "Or do you think I do not deserve it?"

Color rushed to Lainey's cheeks, the doubt in her eyes fading under the closeness.

So many people carried the name Roberts. Maybe it meant nothing at all.

Dylan used the moment to glance at Ian, who slipped away at once, melting into the dim corridor.

Dylan straightened and took a step back.

"If you're trying to make him jealous with me," he said calmly. "You picked the wrong man."

He turned as if to leave.

Lainey caught her breath and said, "You misunderstood. I'm simply drawn to you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Dylan's stride slowed, enough for Lainey to add, "Date me for a month, and I'll let you name the price."

With only one month left, if she failed to bring a man home, she would have to accept the promise made six years ago and marry the head of the Roberts family.

The thought sent a cold shiver sliding down her spine.

A glint sparked in Dylan's eyes as he turned to meet Lainey's gaze, something unreadable flickering there.

"I'll agree," he said slowly, a faint smile curving his lips. "But only if you accept one condition."

"What condition?" Lainey asked, brows knitting as curiosity softened her voice.

"While we're together," he said calmly, hands slipping into his pockets. "We stay out of each other's private worlds."

"That's exactly what I wanted," she replied with quiet relief, extending her hand and adding. "I'm looking forward to this."

OWNED BY THE RUTHLESS MAFIA Novel Cover
7.3
I was never supposed to step into his world. I was just a daughter trying to survive the wreckage of a father's mistakes. A quiet girl living a small, careful life-until one night shattered everything I thought I knew about fear, power, and possession. They say the mafia doesn't forgive. They say debts are paid in blood. They never warned me that sometimes, the price is a woman. Luciano De Luca. The name alone makes men lower their voices and avert their eyes. A king without a crown. A devil in a tailored suit. He rules the underworld with calculated brutality, commanding loyalty through fear and obedience through bloodshed. To him, mercy is a weakness-and love is a lie told by foolish men before they die. Luciano is not a man you reason with. He is power, violence, and control wrapped in a deadly calm. A mafia king who destroys without mercy and takes without permission. When my father fails to pay his debt, Luciano takes me instead. I become his collateral. His punishment. His possession. Trapped in his world of blood and secrets, I am nothing more than a reminder of betrayal-kept under his watch, bound by his rules, and stripped of every illusion of freedom. Luciano made it clear from the start: I am not his guest. I am not his lover. I am not free. I am his possession. He watches me like a predator studying prey-cold, assessing, waiting for me to break. He expects fear to reduce me to nothing. He expects me to beg. To submit. But I don't. And that defiance ignites something far more dangerous than hatred in him. But somewhere between the locked doors and the whispered threats, I realize something dangerous: the man who owns me is far more broken than he wants the world to know. Luciano De Luca is ruthless-but he is not heartless. He is controlling-but barely. And every time I challenge him, every time I look him in the eyes without flinching, something dark and volatile stirs beneath his calm exterior. Luciano doesn't love. He claims. He controls. He owns. Yet the more he tries to crush my spirit, the more obsessed he becomes. His protection turns violent. His control turns suffocating. His eyes follow me like a promise and a threat all at once. He says I am his weakness. His mistake. His curse. Yet when enemies circle too close, it is Luciano who shields me with his body. When danger threatens, it is his voice that growls warnings, his hands that tighten possessively, his presence that promises violence to anyone who dares touch what is his. Because once a mafia king decides you belong to him... escape is no longer an option. I am trapped in a golden cage built from power, luxury, and danger-but the greatest threat isn't the guns, the blood, or the men who would kill for him. It's the way Luciano looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. The way his control fractures when I'm hurt. The way his name feels dangerous on my lips. Because loving a mafia king is not a fairy tale. It's a war. A war between survival and desire. Between freedom and obsession. Between the girl I used to be and the woman his darkness is shaping me into. The deeper I fall into his world, the more I uncover secrets buried beneath his cruelty-betrayals that made him this way, scars that never healed, enemies that would destroy us both if given the chance. And as the line between captor and protector blurs, I'm forced to face a devastating truth: The man who owns my body may soon own my heart. But loving Luciano De Luca comes at a cost. Because in his world, love is a liability. And the moment he chooses me... is the moment he paints a target on my back. Will I escape the man who claims to own me? Or will I surrender to the darkness that refuses to let me go? In a world ruled by blood, power, and betrayal, one innocent woman will discover that the most dangerous thing of all... is being loved by a ruthless mafia king.
