Painful Love of a Crime Lord

Nolan Pearson, the formidable leader of a notorious crime syndicate, entered into a marriage contract to repay a life-saving debt—an act driven by necessity rather than love. However, a chilling prophecy from a fortune-teller loomed over him: his fate was cursed, destined to bring tragedy to those he cherished. Known for his ruthless demeanor, Nolan hastily wed Allison Dixon, a humble student, believing she would serve as a superstitious substitute to ward off the ominous fate meant for his real bride. Yet, despite his intentions, Allison's gentle warmth became a beacon of light in Nolan's dark and tumultuous world, gradually penetrating his hardened heart. As their bond deepened, he struggled to suppress his growing feelings, bound by a sense of obligation. The tragic turning point came when Allison seemingly "died" during childbirth, plunging Nolan into a grief so profound that he longed for death himself. In the throes of despair, he uncovered a shocking truth: the female antagonist had been deceiving him all along, and the true savior from his youth was none other than Allison. Years later, fate intervened as Nolan encountered Allison again, miraculously alive. This time, he vowed to never let her slip away from him again, no matter what it takes...
