The Mafia Princess' Ex-Husband

Leona Vetrov, the heiress of the most prominent criminal family became the 'tea' of the high society when she married the orphan her family had taken in years. It took her a betrayal to realize that the stab that cripples a person always comes from someone they trust and love blindly― her husband. After two years, they encounter each other again and in the face of danger, they rely on each other to survive. She is keen on keeping him away but her ex-husband seems… weirdly stubborn? He stops at nothing to win her back and make her his, all over again. As they grow close, Leona discovers bizarre secrets about herself that leaves her in shambles. The shadows of the past threaten to rip them apart and strange occurrences make them realize that the reality of their world and their lives is not as simple as they had known it to be. Will they clear their misunderstandings and face the dangers together or will their second-chance encounter go down in flames, forever marking the end of the possibility of them? … Excerpt: ‘’Marry me.’’ Leona glared at the man who had the audacity to say those words, ‘’I can’t wait to kill you and you have the audacity to ask me to marry you. Aren’t you afraid I would kill you when you are sleeping?” ‘’I don’t mind.’’ ‘’Get lost!’’ she snapped. A few days later: The man lowered his head, looking deep into her eyes, his gaze sincere, ‘’Marry me.’’ Leona looked at the man speechlessly and waved her hand, ‘’You are my ex-husband.’’ Although they were on better terms now, but there was no way they were getting romantically entangled ever again. An eternity later: ‘’Won’t you marry me?” Leona looked at the man who was standing at a little distance from her, tears brimmed in her eyes as she spoke, ‘’I am in a pathetic state and I might implicate you too. I don’t know what’s happening to me and I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t even know who I am or what my past is…’’ The man covered the distance between them and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, ‘’Do I look like I care?” As his words fell, her lips were captured in a fiery kiss that knocked the breath out of her.

As it looked at her, she smiled, ''If you see a snake, just kill it.'' 

''You... I am no ordinary snake. I am your great lord...'' 

''Hmm?" 

''I... am just an ordinary snake,'' its eyes teared up, ''I mean no harm. And like you said, I can't go away from you because of the mysterious markings on your body. If something happens to you, then I am afraid I will not be safe as well.''

Leona leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes for a long time before she opened them. 

''Come here,'' she looked at the little thing, her voice reluctant. 

Hesitant and wary, the tiny snake slithered its way to the couch. 

''Stop there,'' she said when it was almost at a closer distance. 

It stopped obediently. 

Leona pushed herself to her feet, ''I gave it a thought and forced myself to consider it but I am afraid that my decision won't change. I don't want you anywhere around me, let alone on my body.''
