A Dark Mafia Romance , Dual POV , Forced Marriage , Obsession , Betrayal , Secret Identity
Leona Moretti thought she was saving her brother’s life when she agreed to marry New York’s most feared mafia boss.
She was wrong.
Dante Rizzo didn’t take her out of mercy. He took her because she was promised to him. Sold by her own brother like a piece of flesh, packaged with a smile and a wedding ring. And Leona walked willingly into the trap.
Now she wears his name. Sleeps in his bed. Lives in a mansion guarded like a prison.
But he doesn’t touch her.
Not yet.
He watches.
He waits.
He burns.
Dante is cold, cruel, and unreadable...until she disobeys him. Until she presses the wrong button. Until the mask cracks and she sees what he really is:
A man obsessed. Possessive. Completely unhinged when it comes to her.
But Leona has secrets of her own. Like the fact that she may not be a Moretti at all. And her entire life? A carefully constructed lie hiding a truth soaked in blood and betrayal.
She’s not just a pawn in a mafia game.
She’s a daughter of the deadliest name the underworld ever buried.
And Dante?
He’s not planning to let her go.
Not when he finally has the one thing he's been denied his entire life.
Her.

Chapter: Chapter 54: The SurrenderDANTE’S POVForty-eight hours.That was all Marcello had given me. Forty-eight hours to decide whether my wife was worth everything I had built. I already knew the answer.I stood in front of the mirror, fastening the buttons of my black shirt.My leg still hurt.The bullet wound had been treated, and I could walk without assistance now, though every step came with a reminder of what had happened. I wasn’t going to let the pain show.Tonight, I needed to look like a man who had nothing left to lose. Not a man walking into a trap. Not a man carrying a plan.A desperate husband. A broken Don. A man ready to surrender his empire. I picked up my coat. Luca was waiting outside.“You’re sure you’re ready?”“No.”He stared at me. I smiled faintly.“But I’m going anyway.”He looked toward my injured leg.“Are you sure you’re good?”“I can walk.”“That’s not what I asked.”I took a step. Pain shot through my leg. I didn’t react.“I’m fine.”Luca sighed.“You’re an idiot.”“Probably.”He lower

Chapter: Chapter 53: The Devil's BargainDANTE’S POVPain woke me before the light did. It came first as a dull ache in my leg. Then fire. My eyes opened sharply.A white ceiling. Antiseptic. The steady rhythm of a monitor. Hospital.For a few seconds, I lay still. Then memory came back.Leona.Marcello.Adrian.Her hand reaching for mine.The darkness taking her.I swung my legs over the side of the bed. Pain tore through my injured leg, but I forced myself upright.“Don't.”Luca's voice came from the other side of the room. I looked over. He was standing by the window, arms folded, exhaustion written across his face.“Where is she?”“Dante…”“Where is Leona?”Luca pushed away from the wall.“We don't know.”The answer hit harder than the bullet. I stood. My injured leg protested immediately. Pain shot upward, forcing me to grip the edge of the bed. Luca moved toward me.“You need to sit down.”“No.”“Dante.”“I can walk.”“Barely.”“I didn't ask for your medical opinion.”Luca sighed.“You're impossible.”“So I've been tol

Chapter: Chapter 52: The Price of TrustLEONA’S POV The next gunshot came from somewhere above us. Dante moved before I did. His hand closed around my wrist.“Run.”I ran.We tore through the corridor as bullets struck the walls behind us, sending splinters of wood and broken plaster across the floor. The building had become a maze of shadows, every room leading to another dead end, every sound making my pulse jump.I could hear men shouting. Not words I could understand.Commands.Movements.Orders being passed through the building.“They're herding us,” I said.Dante didn't slow down. “I know.”“What does that mean?”“It means stop talking and move.”A bullet struck the wall beside my head. I ducked.“Still charming.”“Still alive.”I hated that I almost smiled. Almost. We turned sharply into another corridor. Dante fired behind us. I heard someone cry out. Then another man stepped into view from the opposite end.I raised my weapon first. The shot rang through the hallway. He dropped.Dante looked at me. I looked at him

Chapter: Chapter 51: The Perfect TrapLEONA’S POVThe door shut behind me with a sound that seemed far too loud.I froze.For one second, I stood with my back against it, listening. Nothing. No footsteps. No voice. No movement.Just silence. I hated it.The building smelled like dust and damp wood. Somewhere deeper inside, water dripped at an annoyingly slow rhythm.Drip.Drip.Drip.I tightened my grip around the strap of my bag and moved forward.Moonlight slipped through the broken windows in pale strips, cutting across the floor. Dust floated through the air every time I took a step. The place was larger than it looked from outside. A narrow corridor stretched ahead of me, disappearing into darkness. Old doors lined both sides. Some were hanging open. Others had been nailed shut.I stopped beside the first one.Locked.The second.Empty.The third-I pushed it open slowly.A small room. Nothing inside except broken furniture and a layer of dust thick enough to show footprints.My eyes dropped. I crouched. Fresh. Not m

Chapter: Chapter 50: The InvitationLEONA’S POVTwo days after I found the R-20 file, the letter arrived.I knew something was wrong before I even picked it up. It was lying on the small table beside my door.No knock. No sound. No sign of whoever had left it there. Just an envelope. Waiting.My stomach tightened.For a few seconds, I simply stared at it. Then I locked the door, checked the window and only after confirming the room was exactly as I had left it did I pick the envelope up.There was no name on the front. No address. Nothing.I opened it.One sheet of paper. One name or rather-One nickname.My fingers went still.“Claws,There are things about your father’s investigation that connect our families more closely than you realize. Things you deserve to hear before you decide who your enemy is.You’ve spent enough time chasing shadows. If you truly want to know who M.V. is, come and hear what I know.Five days from now. Midnight.The abandoned building on Via San Zeno.Come alone and prepared to listen.-D”Cl

Chapter: Chapter 49: Threads of SuspicionLEONA’S POVI didn't sleep when I returned to my temporary stay.I locked the door. Checked the windows. Checked them again. Then I pulled the curtains shut and spread the contents of R-20 across the table.My father's missing file sat in front of me.For years, it had remained hidden inside a room beneath the eastern section of my family's hotel.Now it was here. With me.I stared at my father's handwriting. For a moment, I couldn't bring myself to touch anything. This was the closest I'd come to him since learning the truth. I was afraid of what I’ll find in the file. But this was my father.This was Domenico Rinaldi.A man who had known something was wrong.A man who had spent his final days trying to prove it.I opened the first document. Then another. And another. Hours passed.Vetra Holdings appeared everywhere.At first, I thought I was imagining it.The company surfaced in financial transfers, correspondence and meeting records. Sometimes directly, sometimes through subsidiari
