I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered.

One night.
One drink.
One sin I could never take back.

But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers.

They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive.

Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows.

Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue.

And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive.

They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire.

I’m their ruin.

“Run if you want, Jade.”

The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding.

“You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core.

Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.”

Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?”

Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting.

Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.”

Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.”

Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.”

My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize.

Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth.

I wanted them… All of them.

Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.

I shook my head frantically, tears blurring my vision until Seraphina became just a soft, gold-and-crimson smudge sitting across from me. My chest heaved with the effort of trying to speak through the wreckage of my own sobs, each breath scraping raw against my throat like broken glass.


"No, Phina, no! Please, it's not like that, I swear to God it's not like that!" I choked out, my voice high and jagged, completely broken by the sheer panic clawing at my throat. "You are my friend! You're the best friend I've ever had in my life!"


"Then why didn't you treat me like one, Rose?" Seraphina snapped, her lower lip trembling violently as she stared at me. She squeezed her eyes shut for a second, a single, fat tear spilling over her lashes, before snapping them open again. Something in her expression cracked further, as though the question had cost her more than she wanted to admit.
