bunmimogaji312 · Ongoing · 30.1k Words
Introduction
She was four years old when she watched powerful men drag her father across the floor and put a bullet in him over a debt he couldn’t pay. That night burned her childhood to ash. From the ruins rose a woman forged for one purpose: revenge.
After years of brutal military training, Alessia returns to New York under a new identity.
Get close to the heir.
Destroy everything they built.
But nothing prepared her for him.
He stepped into my space, the flashing club lights sliding across the sharp curve of his smile.
“You don’t talk to men like that,” he murmured, voice low enough to cut through the bass.
I didn’t flinch. “Why? Because of the five inches between your legs?”
Silence dropped like a blade.
His emerald-green eyes dragged over my body, slow and assessing, as if deciding whether I was a threat or a toy he wanted to break. He didn’t recognize me.
But I remembered him.
The boy who stood by while his father slaughtered my family.
Then he smiled—slow, sinful, and far too dangerous.
He leaned in until his breath brushed my ear. “Careful,” he whispered. “Keep talking like that… and I might start enjoying you.”
One mistake, and nineteen years of planning dies with her.
She finally has the access she came for.
But when Damian De Luca’s emerald eyes begin to burn with something far more dangerous than hatred, Alessia faces a choice she never anticipated.
She made a promise—to her parents, to the blood-soaked floor of her childhood, to herself.
She wasn’t born to love a monster.
She was born to burn his empire down.
Chapter 1
ALESSIA VALENTI
The first thing I remembered was the sound. Not the gunshot, but the door.
It crashed inward with a deafening boom, wood splintering across our tiny living room. Papa had spent weeks patching that old door with scraps and rusted nails, swearing it would hold a little longer.
It didn’t.
I was only four.
The impact sent me stumbling backward until my shoulders hit the wall. My heartbeat thundered louder than the echoes still rattling through the apartment.
Three strangers stepped inside.
The man in the middle didn’t need to raise his voice. Fear seemed to arrive with him. He wore a tailored black suit beneath a long, dark coat, a cigarette dangling lazily between his fingers as smoke curled toward the stained ceiling. A jagged scar ran from his temple to his brow, sharpening an already cruel face.
Two armed men flanked him. Beside them stood a teenage boy, no older than fourteen, his emerald eyes identical to the scarred man’s. He carried no weapon, and his expensive clothes looked painfully out of place.
He kept glancing around the room as if wishing he could disappear.
“Where’s Matteo?” the scarred man asked quietly. The calm in his voice frightened me more than shouting ever could. “The coward who thinks he can steal from me.”
Mama pulled me behind the narrow pantry door before I could make a sound. One trembling hand clamped over my mouth; the other held me so tightly I could barely breathe.
“Mama…” I whispered against her palm. “Are we hiding?”
Her blue eyes filled with tears. “Yes, sweetheart.”
“Are the bad men here?”
She forced a smile. “They’ll leave soon.”
Papa stepped into the living room with slow, careful movements.
“I was going to call you,” he said, voice barely shaking. “I’ll pay every dollar I owe.”
The scarred man took a slow drag. Smoke drifted between them.
“Really? My men say you’ve been gone for nearly a month.”
“My phone broke.”
“And?”
“I couldn’t afford another one.”
Silence stretched.
Then—crack.
The slap echoed. Papa dropped to one knee, blood at the corner of his mouth. The scarred man crouched until they were eye level.
“Do you know how many graves built my empire?”
Papa lowered his gaze. “No…”
Another slap. “Answer properly.”
“I… don’t.”
“You remember we grew up together?” Papa pleaded. “We were friends.”
A slow smile. “Exactly. And friends don’t disappear with my money.”
“I just need more… time.”
“You’ve had time.”
“I swear—”
The metallic click of a pistol cut him off. The gun looked enormous in the man’s hand.
The shot rang out.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
When I opened them, Papa wasn’t moving.
My chest ached so fiercely I thought my heart had shattered.
“Mama…” My voice came out tiny. “Why isn’t Papa getting up?”
She didn’t answer. Her body shook with silent sobs. That was enough.
One of the armed men scanned the room. “What about the wife?”
The scarred man flicked ash onto the floor. “Bring her.” He glanced at the boy. “Watch carefully, Damian. This is business.”
Mama knelt in front of me, brushing curls from my face with trembling fingers.
“No matter what happens… stay hidden.” She kissed my forehead, then gently loosened my grip on her sleeve. Even terrified, she walked out with her head high.
The scarred man’s gaze swept over her. “Matteo always did have a weakness for beautiful American women.”
He stepped closer. “I’ll make this easy. You can leave here alive…” Another step. “Or you can leave beside your husband.”
One of his men shoved her. The scarred man lifted a hand and stopped him. He tilted her chin upward with deliberate slowness. “My house. My bed. Or your grave.”
Mama held his gaze, unwavering. She didn’t beg. She didn’t cry. She simply stood her ground.
The silence irritated him. “I asked you a question.”
His fingers tightened on her jaw. “I won’t repeat myself.”
Mama pulled free. Her voice was barely a whisper.
“I will never warm your bed.”
For the first time, the scarred man’s expression hardened. The gun rose.
Another shot shattered the silence.
I bit my lip until I tasted blood. I wanted to scream. Only silent tears came.
Across the room, the teenage boy looked at me. Our eyes met. He looked horrified. Almost guilty. But he didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He simply watched.
“Everything clear?” the scarred man asked. “No witnesses?”
His men nodded. “Nothing alive.”
“Excellent.”
He holstered the pistol and adjusted his cuffs as if he’d finished another meeting. Resting a hand on his son’s shoulder, he said, “Remember this night.”
The boy looked back one last time. He was the only one who had seen me hiding. His green eyes lingered on mine until he disappeared through the door.
The front door slammed shut.
Silence swallowed the apartment.
I crawled out on shaking knees. Blood was everywhere. My parents weren’t coming back.
I stared at the broken doorway where the monster had disappeared. Even at four years old, I made a promise.
One day I would learn his name.
One day I would become strong enough to stand where Papa couldn’t.
And when that day came, the man who destroyed my family would beg for the mercy he never showed us.

Chosen.

But his uncle showed up.
The one with the scarred knuckles and the cop badge. The one who looked at me like he wanted to burn the world down for me—or maybe burn me down instead.
Now, we live under the same roof. Three people. One bed too close.
Every time my boyfriend touches me, I flinch. Every time his uncle looks at me, I burn.
He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
