Introduction

Samantha has spent her entire life sacrificing everything for her family. Blamed by her parents for their son's death, abandoned to shoulder the bills, and working herself to exhaustion to give her sisters a better future, she never expected the people she loved most to become her greatest betrayal.

When her younger sister steals from Nicolas Lewis—the ruthless mafia king no one dares cross. Samantha confesses to the crime to save Olivia's life.

But mercy doesn't exist in Nicolas's world.

Just as he's about to end Samantha's life, his mentally unstable younger brother, Sam, steps in with an unexpected demand: Samantha must become his wife.

Now trapped between a forced marriage and certain death, Samantha is thrusted into the heart of the city's most dangerous mafia family. As secrets unravel and loyalties crumble, she realizes surviving the Lewis brothers may be far more difficult than escaping them.

Will she sacrifice her freedom to stay alive, or will choosing the wrong brother cost her everything?

Chapter 1

Samantha's Point of View

The sound of someone banging on the restaurant door echoed in the space, causing my brows to furrow in confusion.

It was past midnight, and I had already put the "Closed" sign outside, so whoever was knocking seemed intent on breaking in.

I scanned the room until my gaze landed on a broom leaning against the wall.

Rising from the chair, I tiptoed over to grab it and headed toward the door.

I grasped the doorknob and flung the door open, ready to confront whoever was outside, but I stopped midway when I realized who it was.

Olivia rushed into the restaurant and shut the door behind her, resting her weight against it as she panted heavily. Her face was drenched in sweat, and her breathing was labored.

“Olivia, you scared me. Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?”I scolded, my brows lifting with confusion.

I placed the broom against the wall, turning my full attention to her. My sister looked terrified.

“Sister, I made a huge mistake!”

Olivia clutched her hand to her chest; I swear I could hear the sound of her heart banging so hard against her chest.

My stomach hardened with worry about her condition…

Olivia loved putting herself in danger, and the last time I had to use the last money we had to pay for her bail-out bill after she stole from a store.

“Tell me what you did, Olivia…”

She opened her mouth to speak but shut it again.

“You need to speak to me so I can help you!”

“I… Sister.. I!” She stammered.

I sucked in a sharp breath. “If you don't speak up, I don't know how else I should help you.

“I stole from the Lewis family!”

“Olivia!”

My eyes widened in shock. She was joking. There was no way for me to believe what she was saying.

"I swear I didn't know it was their house, and now they are looking for me; they are going to kill me! Please help me!”

Words poured out of her, and tears began welling up in her eyes.

Each muscle in me went cold, leaving me frozen on the ground.

Nicholas Lewis!

He was a nightmare. Everyone knew him. No one wanted to mess with him! I was no exception.

“Sister, I made a mistake, but I'm still young, and I have so many dreams to fulfill… I don't want to die at such a young age; please help me!”

Olivia pleaded between her sobs, her knees probably weakened as she collapsed to the ground.

I paced a short distance, running my fingers through my hair.

But how am I supposed to help her? They were going to kill her without a second thought, and I don't think I can do anything.

“Sister, please say something…”

The sound of her sobs echoed across the quiet space.

I let out a deep breath. I was exhausted before, but now I was utterly drained. I had a long day, standing on my feet, and serving the customer alone was another nightmare, but this... I didn't know how to deal with it.

"You've always protected me since I was a kid; you've always been more than my own parents could ever be. I know I made a mistake, but please don't let them kill me—I'm not ready to die.”

I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply. No matter what she has done, she will always be my younger sister. Her parents might have failed her, but I won't fail her. I will fulfill my duty as her sister, but the problem is I don't know what to do.

“What did you steal?” I forced words out of my mouth. Disappointment filled my whole being, but I tried to push it away. We all make mistakes, and she was only human.

“I stole a red diamond!”

My whole being went completely still as I finally allowed her words to register in my brain, and my breath seemed to have stopped for a few seconds before I started breathing again.

Her words kept on ringing in my ears for an unhealthy amount of time. I swear I wanted someone to come and tell me that it's all in my imagination.

“W—Where is it?”

I stammered.

Olivia slipped her hand into her pocket and fished out a sparkling red diamond.

A gasp escaped my lips as I covered my mouth with my hand. I thought she'd been joking, but she's not.

How the heck did she get her hands on this diamond? I'm sure it was heavily guarded from wherever it was. How did my sister become a professional thief?

“Stand up!” I said sharply, and she jerked to her feet in less than a second.

“Give me the diamond.” I extended my hand over to her, and she placed it in my palm.

“Take off your clothes right now…” I ordered her, and she complied by taking off her clothes. I crossed the room to the small table, and I placed the diamond there, and I began taking my clothes off, and I walked to her and gave them to her.

“Wear this and go home… Don't tell anyone about this, and don't act suspicious; just act normal. Do you understand?"

Olivia's brows furrowed in confusion, her eyes were red from crying, and her face was now puffy.

“Sister, what are you planning to do?”

“Change your damn clothes and do as I'm saying, Olivia; I will deal with this.”

I muttered under my gritted teeth.

I wanted to teach her a lesson, but unfortunately, this was not the time.

I won't gamble with my sister's life; she's young and has many dreams to fulfill. I had no dreams or life outside this restaurant, so I don't see why I should let her face this instead of me.

Without saying a word, Olivia changed into my clothes, and I wore her clothes along with her cap. She left the restaurant, leaving me behind.

I tightened my grip around the diamond.

Tonight, I will become Olivia.

And by morning, Nicolas Lewis would come for me.
