Introduction
“Cazzo!” He hissed in Italian, his heavy steps fading away.
Viviana turned around to face the man that just passed by her. He felt and smelt oddly familiar, his physique looking as striking as one whom she had locked someplace in her heart, promising never to think of him…but always doing the opposite.
That intimidating stride, that purposeful gait…
She was about to turn back to take a clearer and better look at him when her boss called her attention.
“You look exceptionally lovely today” Jacob said, a little sultrily and she eye-rolled mentally but elongated the smile on her face. Any more now and Joker's face will seem like a joke when hers is compared.
“Thank you sir and you are definitely not looking bad yourself”
Chapter 1
“Everything is ready boss” Massimo said to Jacob reassuringly, his masculine voice echoing in the almost empty room.
“Have you checked that there is no other person in this restaurant that might interrupt us?” Jacob asked, facing his new personal bodyguard.
“Yes sir, I have and news reaching me is that she just arrived and should join you soon.” Massimo placed two fingers on the device on his ear to get proper reception of the communication from the guards upfront.
“That is quite fast! She is being freaking official even when I made it clear this isn't a formal date.
Ten minutes extra wouldn't hurt anyone, Viviana” Jacob said out loud as he patted his hair to final perfection, touched his suit for the millionth time and looked around for anything that could be out of place.
He noticed a vase with flowers and he decided that its location wasn't normal.
As he tried to rearrange it, the unmistakable sound of heels clicking drew near. It distracted him as he knew who it was and the vase in his hold, fell off his hands.
Being super alert, Massimo caught it a few seconds before it could hit the polished tiles.
A sweet voice filled the ambience as the lady thanked the doorman for opening the door for her. “Thank you.”
She was in a black dress that was a little distant from her knees and possessed no sleeves. The dress hugged her body, showcasing her neutral and natural curves.
Her jet black hair was gelled in a slick fashion and styled in a perfect high ponytail, her lips glossed a light red. Her neck spotted a tiny silver necklace with a tear-drop pendant and her silver heels with red bottoms matched her small chic silver purse.
Two men stood by the table she walked towards.
One of them is her boss, the main reason she is dressed up. He had emphatically pleaded on her choice of dress, even offering to get her a dress for a lunch date she termed as ‘randomly common’. Not that she would tell him.
She really didn't want to be with him but her best friend endeavoured to make sure she showed up.
The second of the two men is one who knows her…knows her almost too well and has turned the earth upside down in search of her. It has been five years, four months and six days.
The world seemed to be moving in slow motion as she kept her casual smile on and strutted towards the table.
Massimo could not believe his eyes were on her…his Viviana.
He thought he had lost her for good but here she was coming towards him…but not to him.
She wasn't the nineteen year old he had fallen in love with then. Now she looked everything gracious… beautiful, breathtaking.
Though her brown sparkly orbs still twinkled and her brightening smile still stayed unfazed, it was clear that she is almost like a different person in the way she carried herself.
The vase he had caught slipped as her name, fell from his lips softly.
”Viviana”
Jacob and Viviana's eyes that were about to meet turned to him immediately due to the noise from the breaking vase.
Jacob's face quickly turned into a mask of anger while hers filled with surprise at the sudden noise.
The only sound that was available some seconds ago was the soft music that a band at the farthest corner of the room played.
“What do you think you are doing?” Jacob's voice boomed and resonated within the walls of the hall.
He shouted for two reasons.
The minor reason was because the noise had taken Viviana's eyes from him and the other reason was to impress Viviana.
Massimo’s nostrils flared under the facial morphing synthetic mask he is wearing. This mask was created to alter his true facial identity and disguise him to look like Massimo, Jacob‘s contracted bodyguard. In truth, he is someone else.
He like torturing the person he had to address as his boss for shouting at him and majorly for having anything to do with someone like Viviana. Three vivid ways of making the shards on the floor have an unrecoverable impact on Jacob Bianchi's life flashed in his mind but he reined himself in. He had to.
Though he possesses the power and authority to make every Bianchi crawl on their knees, he is presently on a mission to acquire something very important and one mistake could shatter all the hard work and painstaking, excruciating sacrifices it took to get to where he is.
‘No, not now. You cannot act now.’ He reminded himself.
Quickly bowing his head slightly he said, “I'm sorry boss, I'll have this taken care of”.
Jacob scoffed as he shoved his hands into his pockets, his lips set in a warning straight line. Then he walked to Viviana who was already by the table.
Viviana wanted to roll her eyes at his gimmicks.
He had ordered one of his newly gotten Mercedes to come pick her. He had rented a seven star world class restaurant for the whole day and hired The Santiago Brothers - the highest paid band players in this part of the world. But she was not intrigued in the least and instead, she was already longing for the comfort of her bed, the same one which she just stood up from very few moments ago.
‘Here we go ’ She thought as she smiled harder at Jacob. But she also noticed that Jacob’s new bodyguard who was standing a few steps away and speaking to one of the staff members of the restaurant, had his eyes on her.
His eyes were fixed, like they were imprinting on her skin. She blinked before she turned her focus on her date.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Pawn of the Starless God
Instead, a god found me.
One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.
Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.
Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.

Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.
And every reward makes me less human.
My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.
But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.
Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.
Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.
In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:
Survive long enough to cross the board.
And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............

"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid.

King of the Underworld
However, one fateful day, the King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful Mafia boss's son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”

His Lethal Obsession
He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.
"Wha...what are you doing here?"
His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.
"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.
"It's....it my wedding,"
He scoffed darkly. "Excuse me?"
I swallowed. "I am......getting married,"
He let out a humorless laugh, looking away and giving me lesser comfort. He looked at me with a demonic frown.
Terror washed me.
"Every single motherfucker/human being here, be it adult or child, including you, will burn before that happens,"
