As he forcefully held her against the wall, his grip tight around her throat, he growled, "You're playing with fire." His nose grazed her neck as he leaned in menacingly, his eyes filled with a hunger she couldn't miss. "And those who toy with fire," he warned, "often suffer the consequences – they get burnt."
Salvatore De Rosso, a complex and self-made business magnate, reigned over the prestigious De Rosso Empire. Renowned for his ruthless ambition, arrogance, and cold heart, he was Marvolia's most sought-after bachelor. Unchallenged in the corporate world, his impeccable record held one imperfection – an infamous reputation as a relentless seducer.
In an effort to curb his promiscuity, his mother made a drastic decision: she arranged his marriage. Luciana Marinello, desperate to save her twin sister from a dire financial situation, reluctantly agreed to this unconventional arrangement. Despite her resolve to resist his charm, she couldn't ignore the magnetic pull between them.
To Luciana, Salvatore was a predator watching his prey. By accepting his terms, she had unknowingly stepped into his territory, and he vowed to make her pay. He believed in taking his revenge in private, behind closed doors, where passion would be both cold and intense – a punishment she would endure until their temporary union ended.
As Luciana prepared to reject his advances, she found herself swept up in a whirlwind of opulence, attending lavish events and enjoying the luxurious lifestyle. Their sham of vows masked the fiery passion that燃烧 between them, making every encounter within their grand mansion nothing short of wild and authentic.
