Chapter 1

PROMISED TO THE MAFIA PRINCE

(She is his to ruin)

Chapter One

The song 'The magic moment 'was playing on the phonograph as the couple danced under the moonlight, their steps delightful, their body moving slowly to the music.

Elizabeth smiled passionately, her eyes held him with gratitude, a lot of gratitude but not even a bit of love. The man she was dancing with under the moonlight that shone on both of them and the beach, was a lot of things to her but not a lover.

Though it was different for him, today is the happiest day of his life. After many attempts to get her to say yes to him, finally today he got a yes. And within some months, they would be living together as a happy family.

Those were his thoughts, as much as hers. Even if she didn't love him, she would gladly spend the rest of her life with him. Cause she knew no man could ever treat her as gentle and caring as Joshua.

He could give her the world if he had, today was proof. He had rented a beach just to propose to her, and decorate everything, chairs, food, the wine all expensive. Even if his monthly salary wasn't that much of a big deal, he had planned this just to make her happy.

And even played her favorite song, the only thing that is genuine about her. She is fake, everything about her. Her name, her identity, and her life were all fake, a fantasy she made up for herself to escape her miserable life.

"The night is perfect," Elizabeth acknowledged with a smile.

"Nothing is as beautiful as you" Joshua stated while Elizabeth just chuckled, maybe the line was a cliche, but it was still the truth.

She had a sculpted shape which was twine-thin. Her waist was narrow and she had smooth skin. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her beautiful ears framed a stud nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she flashed him an adorable smile.

She is so pretty and so attractive. He is so glad that she is finally his, he loves this woman and he has thought she felt the same.

That she loves him just as much as he does.

"I love you, Elizabeth and I will forever do"

She said nothing but just hugged him and continued with their dance, minutes passed and the music stopped and their movement also came to a halt.

They disengaged from the hug, and Elizabeth went to the decorated table to get the wine.

"My legs are aching," She said, picking up the two glasses and the wine below her armpit. "Today is the most beautiful night in my life" She confessed and turned to her fiance, only to see him with a knife placed on his throat. And some men in suits surrounded them, she knew exactly what this was.

The wine in her hand dropped along with her cup, staring at them fearfully.

Her past finally caught up to her, she ran and ran till she could no longer run and met Joshua. And when she thought she was going to be happy, this happened.

"Is that so? Is this your best night?" He said, appearing in front of her, in a fancy suit. He looked just as handsome, devilishly handsome just as the first time she saw him, even if there were now huge changes.

He looked at her just like he always does, like he wanted to tear that dress off her, grinding his c*ck into her, fvcking the hell out of her, till she was lifeless. Those sinful blue eyes, she thought she had escaped him, from her family but now he is here for her, to take her back and this time she will never be able to run away.

"Elisabeth" Josh called, trembling as his face became sweaty.

"Elisabeth? Is that the name you gave yourself, my Princess" The man in front of her questioned while she gulped down the bile in her throat, fear gripped her.

She wanted to run, to escape but it would be useless. He will always find her, like three years ago, like now.

"You must be terrified, after all these years. I have caught you again, just like three years before. But the only difference now, is that I will never allow you to run off again, Miara"

Shivers ran down her spine as she heard that name, it had been long since she heard it yet it still had the same effect on her.

"Miara? What is going on Elisabeth?" Joshua shrieked, bringing their attention back to him.

"Was this him? The man you are getting married to with your fake identity?"

Joshua looked at him confused "Fake identify, what are you saying? Elisabeth is my fiancee, you have no right to just interrupt our moments, and do you know you could go to jail for putting a knife to my throat? If you leave now, I will be gracious not to report you" Joshua threatened while Elizabeth chuckled, she admired his courage but she wished he said nothing and just stayed quiet.

He brought out his gun and directed it at Joshua, "no" Elizabeth screamed while Joshua eye's widened in fear. She found herself running to Josh. But before she could reach him, he was already on the ground with a bullet in his head, lifeless.

The beach sand was now mixed with Joshua thick blood.

"He is dead," Elizabeth said and fell to the ground. Her perfect life was gone, her freedom, and so is the man who showed her love without even asking for her's in return. All he wants is to love her and he is gone because of her.

Another person to add to the list of people killed because of her.

She crawled to where Joshua's lifeless body was, and hugged him in her arms, as her tears fell on his face, getting her white gown stained.

"It is useless, he is gone" The man spoke with no emotions, Elizabeth gritted her teeth down and put Joshua down, then stood up and charged him, punching with all she got on his chest.

"You have gotten fast, but your punch is still weak, princess" He said, Elisabeth grinned and wanted to give him another punch but he held her hand before she could.

"I take my word back, you are still slow"

"Why did you kill him? How many people are you going to kill every time you find me? Why do you keep tormenting me, every moment you could. What have I ever done to you?"

He scoffed at her, looking with disgust and hatred. "You really don't know" He asked and she nodded slowly.

"You broke your promise, princess. You left, ran away when you were supposed to be mine, taunted my pride as a man. You fvcking left me and it is time for you to pay the price."

"We are going back home, and when we do.

I will show you the exact meaning of pain, you will regret ever running away from me. And I will claim and destroy every part of you, after all, it was mine in the first place" He swore and she could feel the sincerity in his voice.

No, he has never lied. He will break her, destroy her, and feed on her fear.

He will hurt her just like she did, three years ago.

He has come to claim what is his.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

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...

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

"Dance on my lap."

"Let me see."
