Matteo Volkov, the ruthless heir to the Volkov Mafia Empire, has spent his life ruling the underworld with an iron fist. Calculated, deadly, and unyielding, he sees their arranged marriage as nothing more than a strategic move. But when his fiancée's family begins making power plays behind his back, Matteo is forced to question whether Serena Chen is truly his ally-or his greatest enemy. Serena Chen, the eldest daughter and heir to the Chen business empire, has spent her life navigating a world of wealth and deception.

Flames of Us by ceiliviola

He was her enemy. She was his weakness. Except that falling was never part of the plan. ENZO ROSSI Cold. Calculated. Ruthless. He built his empire on fear and power, blood and vengeance, leaving no room for weakness. But when Scarlet walked into his world, all sharp smiles and reckless defiance, she became the one thing he couldn't control-and the one thing he couldn't afford to lose. SCARLET ROMANO Cunning. Meticulous. Fearless. She was born into a legacy of power, raised to manipulate, trained to kill.A world where loyalty was a weapon, and love was a weakness. She was sent to bring him down, but instead, she shattered every rule she was taught to follow. Choosing him meant turning her back on everything, but walking away was never an option. She was a traitor. He was a ruthless killer. At least, that's what they told each other. In the brutal world of crime and power, Scarlet Romano was never supposed to be anything more than a pawn. Sent to infiltrate Enzo Rossi's empire, she was expected to earn his trust and then destroy him. But when she turned her back on her father-the man who controlled her fate-everything unraveled. She killed for him and sacrificed her power for him. And when he accused her of betrayal, she let him believe it. But when the dust settles and the truth comes to light, one question remains-was it all just a game, or was it something real? Because in a world where trust is a gamble and love is a risk, choosing each other might just cost them everything. The question is, will they take the risk?
