Queen of Hearts: Dark Mafia Romance

Scarlett

I was sold like an object.

Locked in a room.

Given a ring and a new last name before I could even scream.

Lucien Santoro doesn’t ask. He takes.

He’s cold, cruel, and kisses like he’s punishing me for existing.

Every time I fight back, he smirks like I’m his favorite game.

But I’m not some trembling little girl.

He wants a wife?

He just married hell in high heels.

And if he thinks I’ll break…

He should know: I bend, I bleed, but I don’t shatter.

Lucien

She was a message. A pawn. A means to an end.

Scarlett was supposed to fear me.

She was supposed to obey.

Instead, she curses louder than my men, stares me down like a queen, and tempts me with every reckless breath she takes.

She’s a chaos I never planned for —

A storm in lace panties, with a mouth full of fire and eyes that make me want to kneel.

But I don’t kneel.

And if I have to ruin her to keep her…

So be it.

Because she’s mine now.

And I don’t let go of what’s mine.
