In the Arms of the Cruel Don​

She was never supposed to exist. A secret sister hidden in Sicily, kept safely off the map of the Martineli crime family's war. Until the Don of Manchestary came looking for leverage — and found something far more dangerous than a bargaining chip.

Klaus Cassano has no patience for sentimentality. He runs Manchestary with an iron fist, answers to no one, and has buried every feeling that threatened to make him human. When the Martineli brothers take something from him that can never be given back, he takes something of theirs in return: their hidden sister, Alana. The plan is simple — use her, then discard her.

The CEO's Unexpected Wife

On the night before her wedding, Arsy Raihana Shahira's world collapses. Her fiance confesses he never loved her -- and he's been sleeping with her best friend. When Arsy's father witnesses the confrontation, the shock triggers a massive heart attack. In one brutal night, Arsy loses her future husband, her closest friend, and nearly her father.

As Rahman fights for his life in the ICU, a man from Arsy's past reappears. Shakil Arrafiy -- quiet, intense, impossibly wealthy -- was once a shy boy from her high school. What Arsy doesn't know is that Shakil has loved her since they were seventeen. He left Indonesia with nothing, built a business empire in Cairo, and came back for one reason: her.

When Rahman's condition worsens and his dying wish is to see his daughter married to a man who will truly protect her, Shakil doesn't hesitate. He marries Arsy at her father's hospital bedside in a ceremony witnessed by nurses and doctors -- a marriage born not from romance, but from devotion to a dying man's last prayer.

What follows is an emotional journey from the streets of Jakarta to the grand estates of Cairo. Arsy -- grieving, proud, and deeply suspicious of her new husband's motives -- must navigate life as the wife of one of Egypt's most powerful businessmen. Shakil -- patient, fiercely protective, and haunted by a decade of unspoken love -- must earn the trust of a woman who has every reason to never trust again.

As Arsy slowly discovers the depth of Shakil's devotion -- how he secretly funded her father's medical care, how he dismantled the career of the man who betrayed her, how he has quietly shaped the edges of her life for years -- the walls between them begin to crumble. But falling in love with a man who already loves you this completely comes with its own terrifying weight.
