Caged Empire: A Dark Bratva Arranged Marriage Romance (Ruthless Mafia Alphas)

I ran to Mexico with cash and a stolen watch.
I gave my virginity to a stranger with a crown he didn’t want yet.
By sunrise, I was gone.
By the end of the week, I was his wife.

My father is Vittorio Rossi. Mafia royalty. Saint in public. Something else entirely behind closed doors.

He sold my heartbreak to keep me “pure” for a Bratva alliance. He wanted me wrapped, sealed, delivered — a virgin bride with my price tag still attached.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for the buyer.

Andrei Volkov. The new Bratva king. A billionaire with a killer’s hands and a saint’s restraint — until he isn’t restrained at all.

He broke a man’s wrist for touching me. He broke me open in a moonlit jacuzzi and made me forget I was ever anyone’s currency. Then I ran from his bed before he woke.

I didn’t know I was running straight into his altar.

Now I’m Ella Volkov. Married to the same stranger who ruined me for anyone else — and he thinks I used him and disappeared. So he’s teaching me exactly what it costs to run from a king.

Forced silk. Corner beds. Rules written on my body in his handwriting.

My father thinks he built the perfect weapon — a wife with a vial in her pocket and a target sleeping beside her every night.

He’s right. I have the poison. I have the access. I have every reason to finish it.

I just can’t stop wanting the man I’m supposed to kill.

And now I’m carrying proof that I already failed him.

In this world, crowns don’t go to the women who survive.

They go to the ones willing to bleed for them.
