His Debts, My Chains

Synopsis

He grabbed the collar of her shirt and pulled. The fabric gave way with a sharp tear, exposing her shoulder.

"If this—this mess—causes even a whisper in the media," he said, voice low and venomous, "I'll kill you. I swear to God."

She cried harder, covering herself, chest heaving.

"Please... please stop..."

But Riven wasn't done. He shoved her back onto the couch. She tried to crawl away, trembling like a leaf, but he caught her leg and pulled her down again. Her trousers, already worn and frayed, ripped with the force.

"Let me go," she gasped, voice hoarse.

Those three words—tiny, broken—snapped something in him.

He yanked her back, pressing her down onto all fours, his body against her back. His hand wrapped around her throat—not fully choking, but tight enough that she could feel the pressure.

"You think you can command me now?" he hissed, lips brushing her ear.

When Iris's father disappeared overnight, he didn't just leave behind his debts-he left her as collateral.

Riven Vallar, the cold and brutal heir to the Vallar Mafia Empire, expected revenge, money, blood.

Instead, he found a trembling girl with ice-blue eyes and nowhere to go.

She became his prisoner.

Then, his pawn.

Now, she's being forced into marriage to protect a company that was never hers, under a man who treats her like a transaction.

She doesn't love him. He doesn't want her.

But power demands sacrifice. And she has no choice but to wear his ring.
