The Dark Don's Captive Mafia Queen

I was kidnapped by the most dangerous mafia boss in Chicago, and the whole city wept for my heartbroken fiancé.

Julian Hayes, the righteous Assistant District Attorney, played the tragic hero perfectly in the press.

But the truth was, he orchestrated my kidnapping himself.

For years, he manipulated me into draining my mother's untouchable mafia fortune to fund a rival mobster. Once he got the money, he threw me to Damien Moretti, the ruthless Dark Don, to be ruined.

Julian did it all so he could cleanly break our engagement and marry my illegitimate half-sister, Mona, taking my birthright along the way.

For a month, high society pitied the defiled girl locked in a monster's gilded cage, while my father eagerly prepared to hand Mona my legacy.

They all thought I was weeping in the dark, waiting to be killed by a cold-blooded savage.

They didn't realize the monster they threw me to was exactly the weapon I needed.

When Mona sneaked into my gilded cage to gloat and demand I sign away my inheritance, I didn't cry.

Instead, I grabbed her silver letter opener, ruthlessly sliced my own arm open, and let out a terrified scream.

Damien descended like a god of death, violently hurling Mona against a stone fountain just for spilling my blood.

I looked at the Don, my arm dripping crimson, and made a devil's bargain.

"Let me go back to my father's house to wage my Vendetta. When I'm done, I will be your wife."

The beast smiled and agreed. Tomorrow, my betrayers will learn what happens when you throw a princess to a monster, and she comes back a queen.
