Sold to the DEVIL

SOLD TO THE DEVIL Daniella Montenegro has spent her entire life paying for sins that were never hers. Her mother’s death. Her father’s failures. Her brother’s reckless choices. At twenty, she dances under neon lights each night just to keep food on the table for a family that has never protected her in return. When the man she was meant to marry disappears on their wedding day, Daniella believes humiliation is the worst fate waiting for her. She is wrong. By nightfall, her father’s gambling debts come due, and desperate men make desperate bargains. To settle what he owes, he offers the only thing he has left of value. His daughter. Blindfolded and delivered like payment, Daniella is taken to the secluded estate of Santiago Torres Mendoza, a man whispered about in business circles and feared everywhere else. Powerful, controlled, and mercilessly private, Santiago is not a man who explains his decisions, only enforces them. Daniella arrives with nothing: no freedom, no allies, and no way to escape. And she carries a secret of her own. Two months pregnant with a child whose father she cannot name, she is forced to sign a contract that claims her body, her future, and her unborn child. Survival becomes her only goal as she is pulled into Santiago’s dangerous world of luxury negotiations, shadowed alliances, and corruption powerful enough to erase lives without consequence. But everything changes the moment Santiago truly looks at her. Because Daniella Montenegro has her mother’s face, the face of the woman he lost twenty-three years ago. A woman whose disappearance left wounds that time never healed and secrets buried deep enough to destroy empires. What begins as a transaction becomes a fragile and dangerous alliance. As enemies close in and the truth about Daniella’s past begins to surface, Santiago finds himself protecting the one person he was never meant to care about, while Daniella discovers that the most terrifying prison is not the contract that binds her, but the man whose darkness may be the only thing keeping her alive. In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and betrayal, the greatest threat is not the devil who bought her… But the woman who refuses to belong to anyone.

I'm the only exception to Mr Dark heart's Demon.

Being framed for murder was bad, but marrying a demon to survive was downright terrifying. Han Raviel was a man with a heart that wasn't beating, having been reborn as a demon after dying in the hands of his lover. And so, he didn't love… didn't forgive. He was ruthless to men and even more to women. But An liyue needed to survive. And as though destiny had quietly pointed at her, Han Raviel suddenly needed a wife — definitely not out of love. A contract was tossed in front of her. one year. just one year to be a married couple. After that, they'd part ways. Han Raviel didn't need her more than that duration. However, to An liyue's detriment, the contract carried a demand tied to life and death. " You must provide a reason why I shouldn’t eliminate you… after the contract expires." Han Raviel said, a cold smirk tugging at his lips as a faint red flicker passed through his eyes. ___ ___ An Liyue stared at the door in front of her, the door that led to a completely different world inside Han Raviel's mansion. The door that only two people had the right to enter. Just then, she heard a frightened voice, “M-miss, how did you get here?” Truth was, she didn’t know how she got there herself. She just stood, staring blankly. " Miss," the servant's voice came again, more urgent, " The last person who attempted to go in... " the words died in his throat as he shaked his head, " Miss just leave now.. " However, it was too late. " what's going on here? " If the voice wasn't recognisable, then the red eyes were... An Liyue swallowed as the owner of the low, magnetic voice walked slowly towards her... she backed up until she came in contact with the wall. A smirk appeared on Han Raviel's lips as he got close to her... too close An liyue felt her chest might meet his if she breath harder. and then came his voice again, " Are you just being foolish...or playing ignorant... " he paused taking in the feminine features of her face, " ever since entering my world... when last did you ever see anything, just anything close to being a woman?...not even the cooks are... " he paused as he looked at her neck. An Liyue couldn't help it as her body trembled and her heart thumped wildly in her chest. And then, Han Raviel held her neck, tender at first but then he tightened his grip, causing An liyue to cough, " At times...I want to do this to you...I do it with any other that looks like her, all of you women...deceitful creatures! " he said with such rage evident in his eyes, but the next moment, they softened as he released his grip on her neck, " why can't i do it to you..." He said and with his closed, he ordered, " leave here...now! " Leave? How... Did he forget she was still trapped under him?
