Beautiful Villain

MIKAYLA
Most brides walk down the aisle. I ran.
Straight out of the church, barefoot, dress in my fists, freedom in sight...
And directly into the bumper of a very expensive car.
The man behind the wheel isn't a stranger.
He's my fiancé's mortal enemy.
Gianni Cavalho.
Cold. Calculated. Beautiful in the way disasters often are.
Now I'm caught in a war between two men.
Two men who would tear apart cities, families… me… just to destroy each other.
Stuck in the middle of their war—I must choose.
Which villain I will survive… and which one will break me beyond repair.

GIANNI
She quite literally threw herself into my path—veil, chaos, and all.
A runaway bride in the middle of the road.
An inconvenience I didn't need.
Until I found out who she belonged to.
Archie Popovich.
My enemy's weakness, gift-wrapped and dropped at my feet.
I should've handed her back in pieces.
Instead, I use her to drag him into a war he wouldn't walk away from.
Except… she burns through every line I draw like she was made to undo me.
Now I'm left wondering—
Is she worth the chaos she brings into my war…
…Or am I about to start another one I can't control just to keep her?
