One Night with the Mafia Don, He Begged for a Chance

Freezing lake water flooded my lungs, swallowing every desperate breath as I sank beneath the ice. On the shore, Oscar-winning actress Lauren looked down at me with a smile as elegant as it was cruel. “Lexi, did you really think you deserved to be Mrs. Blackwood? Drowning in this lake is the price for stealing my spotlight.” Just when I thought the icy winter would become my grave, Sebastian Blackwood pulled me from the brink of death. But the chill radiating from him was colder than the frozen lake itself. Tilting up my bruised, blue-tinged chin, he ignored the mud clinging to my body—a man whose obsession with cleanliness was legendary. His voice was cold, commanding, and utterly merciless. “Lexi, I told you before. Without my permission, you don’t even have the right to die.” A shiver ran through me as I met the terrifying possessiveness burning in his eyes. Only then did I realize the truth. Every miraculous rescue. Every time he appeared out of nowhere when I was at my lowest. Every moment I believed he was the man who had saved me from hell… It was all a lie. He had never been my savior. He was the devil who had dragged me into the abyss. Making me the lead actress in Fallen Empire was never meant to launch my career. It was the first step in building a far more exquisite prison—a gilded cage where he intended to keep me by his side, forever. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: One Night with the Mafia Don, He Begged for a Chance — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
