“They say every soul read the script of its life before stepping into this world... as if fate is already signed and sealed.

But if I had truly known how cruel my story would be_ how unfair, how suffocating and painfully written. I would have never chosen silence over suffering, nonexistence over this endless ache.

Because no one prepares you for a life where love becomes punishment...

Where innocence is treated like guilt and breathing itself feels like a mistake you can’t undo”

Yet here I am, Living a life I never agreed to.

“Perhaps it was ... because I was meant to meet mafia Kieran Russo.”

***

Kieran and I lay together in the quiet garden, where the world felt distant and time seemed to slow just for us.

The gentle warmth of a Sunday morning sun, the sky was clear and calm_stretched wide above us like a soft promise of peace.

A cool breeze moved through the flowers brushing against my skin like a tender whisper. Everything felt almost too quiet... too beautiful for us.

Kieran lay beside me, his presence as steady as the ground beneath us.

Without saying a word he pulled me closer, his arm slipping around my waist with ease that made my heart quietly tremble. I turned slightly toward him, and our eyes met.

There was something softer in his gaze_under the daylight. Something he rarely allowed the world to see.

Slowly, he leaned in, as if resisting what he already knew he wanted. My breath caught, my head stilled, and then everything else disappeared the moment his soft lips met mine.

“The kiss was gentle at first, unhurried_almost sacred. But as seconds passed, it deepened into something more meaningful.”

It wasn’t just a kiss, it was a quiet surrender.But even in that fragile peace, a shadow lingered at the edge of my thoughts.

My father’s voice echoed faintly in my memory.

“The old great Godfather is passing the throne to your father,... is it true?

“ yes, Aria. it is true. Kieran said softly, his voice carrying that calm authority. And soon, you will see me take the throne.”

My breath caught slightly, but I forced a small smile.

“Okay, Kieran... I can’t wait to see that.”

The moment the words left my lips, he pulled me closer, guiding me gently until I was resting against his chest.

Slowly, my hand moved to him_tracing upward until it rested softly around his neck. I curled my finger gently there. Kieran exhaled, his eyes darkening slightly now as the distance between us disappeared. I wanted more of his lips, so I tilted my head forward_ then our lips met.

Kieran’s hand slid beneath me as he carefully shifted our positions, lowering me gently until I was beneath him. He paused for a moment, hovering above me_ his eyes locked on mine intense.

Kieran had been my betrothed before we were born. A future decided before we even knew what love was all about. But somehow along the years, it stopped feeling like an arrangement and started becoming real.

For the first time we are so intimate.

“Yes I can’t resist Kieran.”

Our fathers arranged our future, and somehow we found ourselves living it.

Kieran was ready to fuck me this time! He spread my legs open, without hesitation rub his cock on my pussy_Slowly stretching me open. I leaned back against the log, it’s rough bark pressing against my skin, chest heaving_ my skirt twisted high on my thigh. I grabbed the back of his neckt, kiss him like I was drowning.

Kieran moan and his hands was on my ass instantly. One brutal thrust and Kieran was all inside me bare filling me perfectly. I screamed his name into the air. I was screaming he didn’t mind, he fucked me like he had missed for years. He slammed in hitting me deeper and harder until I was sobering up. His cock coming harder again so hard with no mercy my vision became blurr and I already soaked the sheets beneath us.

Kieran please! I moan, this time I was in pain. His movement suddenly stilled.

“Aria...” his voice lower this time. I followed his glance for a split second and my heart skipped when I realized what he had seen.

A faint stain on the sheet

I looked away instinctively, unable to meet his eye for a moment.

“ you’re... a virgin?” He asked softly.

Slowly, i nodded.

“Yes.”

The word came out out barely above a whisper.

Kieran smiled and kissed me slowly slamming his cock back inside me.

“Every drop Aria is mine now. Two weeks, every night I will fuck you till you get used to it.” He rolled me onto my back, still half_hard inside me, then he started moving slowly. His strokes hit me hard this time and I was gasping all over again.

We were lost in each other_ caught in a moment that felt too deep, too consuming to escape.

Then_

A gunshot.

It tore through the silence like a violent crack of thunder.

Bam!

The sound echoed into the air, Kieran’s entire body went rigid. Every trace of softness vanished from his expression replaced by something cold and alert.

Another distant shout echoed through the manor.

Our eyes settled in unison, no words were needed this time.

Something was terribly wrong.

He stood up immediately, already reaching to adjust himself. I scrambled up beside him, adrenaline replacing everything else I had been feeling seconds ago.

“Kieran...” I whispered, fear slipping into my voice but he was already ahead of me. We ran, to the manor, our footsteps were hurried, hard against the ground as we rushed towards the manor.

Kieran reached the entrance first, pushing the doors open with urgency. His actions shifting completely into the Don he was meant to be.

“Kieran... I tried to speak, but the words died instantly.”

Because there_lying on the cold marble ground was Kieran’s father.

“Lifeless.”

My breath caught in my throat. For a second my mind refused to understand what my eyes were seeing.

“No.”

This couldn’t be happening. The world around me seemed to fall silent as strange numbness spread through my body.

My knees nearly gave way beneath me.

Kieran stood frozen beside me.

Neither of us spoke.

Neither of us moved.

Because lying there on the cold floor was the man who had ruled one of the most powerful mafia families in the country.

“And in that moment neither of us knew what this death would awaken.”
