Gabriella Leone is the illegitimate daughter of the Don of the third most powerful Italian mafia clan—a truth that makes her both protected and despised.
Though she is her father’s favorite, it does nothing to shield her from the cruelty of her stepmother and sister.
After years of quiet suffering, Gabriella is finally exiled from the Leone family and erased from the world she was born into.
Five years later, she rises to the top of the music industry, building a life far from violence, fear and secrecy.
As alliances weaken and war looms within the Italian underworld, Marco Vitale emerges as the unseen force controlling the syndicate.
Ruthless, calculating, and dangerously obsessed, Marco has spent years protecting Gabriella from the shadows, bound to her by guilt, secrets, and a past soaked in blood.
On the night of her first concert, Gabriella becomes the target of her father’s enemies. Marco intervenes personally, shattering the distance he once swore to maintain.
Gabriella never intended to fall for a made man, but every secret meeting, every stolen moment, every heated encounter with Marco Vitale chips away at her defenses.
Drawn into a love built on secrecy and obsession, she soon learns that the most dangerous thing about Marco isn’t his power…
it’s what loving him will cost her.

Chapter: Chapter 5: Announcing your identity.The cool touch of his ring on my neck was a contrast to his warm breath. Biting down on my bottom lip was all I could do to suppress the whimper that almost escaped.Like salvation, something vibrated loudly in my jacket.Flora's phone.Marco pulled away like a cold breeze and was out of the bathroom before I could react.I nearly cursed at the interruption.My fingers stumbled around trying to find the phone beneath Marco's thick jacket.I finally found it.Flora was calling.I almost answered, but I couldn't bring myself to.Flora was my best friend, she'd know immediately that something was wrong and I couldn't handle her hassling after everything.Also, I was smart enough to not contact my friends after my near death experience.I wouldn't want to make her a target.So I declined the call instead.Flora's text lit up the screen immediately.“I suddenly couldn't wait until tomorrow night to see you. Where are you? Did you see the news? Your music climbed the top ten most streamed

Chapter: Chapter 4: Lealtà—Loyalty.I slammed on the brake but the car still ran into the tree trunk ahead.The brake only softened the impact of the crash slightly.My head bounced off the air bag.Fortunately, I didn't sustain physical injuries but the bonnet was smoking.I just sat there for a few minutes like I was in a trance.“Gabriella!!!” Dad's voice sliced through my daze. “What the fuck just happened? Where are you?!”“Argh…” I groaned, pushing myself off the seat.I carelessly hadn't even buckled the seatbelt.“Gabriella!”The smoke got into my lungs causing me to cough a fit as I stumbled out of the car. Before I could draw in a fresh breath, I felt a grip on my hand.I looked behind me and noted about four men around me.Holding guns.I coughed violently, my eyes threatened to roll back.“Take her to the car!” Someone yelled.They tried to drag me away.“No!” I protested, planting my bare feet on the gravel.This time I lost both shoes.“Lift her if you have to! Leone's men will be here any minute!”I scra

Chapter: Chapter 3: Getting killed.What are the odds that the moment you step onto the big stage you've worked your ass off for in the last five years, that a big bad wolf would appear to huff, and puff, and blow your dreams away?Mine was a complete hundred percent.Whoever was after my life was the big bad wolf.Last night didn't just leave me traumatised about stranger danger.It inevitably shoved me into the hands of ‘the devil I knew’—Dad.Speak of the devil.He strode out towards our car, hands tucked into his pockets, as Dante parked in front of the family mansion.Dad still managed to look like he hadn't aged a day after 30.Well, he definitely acted like it.The other SUV's dismissed themselves since we were in our territory.I wasn't out of the vehicle when I saw her, Dad's wife AKA Cora's mom, on Dad's heels as she struggled to keep up in hers.“Gabriel!” She yelled but Dad ignored her.His eyes were fixed on me.And I must admit, it was a sight. When was the last time Dad ignored Sophia Delamonte for anyon

Chapter: Chapter 2: You're returning home.I woke up in my bedroom.The only evidence of the chaos that ensued last night was my broken glasses on the night stand.Although I could manage without my glasses, without them my vision was slightly blurry. Especially in the daytime.Anxiety kicked in the moment the cold rim of the pink glasses touched my face. I hopped out of bed and bolted to the living room.The front door was locked from the inside.“How the hell…?” I wasn't deceived by the illusion that I was safe because I hadn't locked this door myself. I knew what happened last night wasn't a dream.Maybe the part where I imagined the man who saved me was Marco Vitale was.I was almost kidnapped and ambushed on an abandoned road on my way back from the music concert last night.It was as real as it gets.Dred pooled in my stomach at the thought of someone being inside the apartment.Eyeing the staircase suspiciously, I grabbed the kitchen phone, immediately dialing Dad's home office.The line connected after several rings.

Chapter: Chapter 1: Her Biggest fanThe designated driver suddenly swivelled my car and drove into a dark abandoned road.“Why did you take that turn? My house is on the other side of town!” I protested.The Audi hit another bump, my body flung forward, colliding with the rear of the passenger's seat.“What was that?” I frowned, fixing my glasses, “Where are you taking me?”“Shut up!” The driver growled loudly.“I'm calling the cops!” I declared already fishing out my phone.Before I could dial 911, a sharp crack exploded. My phone snapped off my grip with a spark.“Ahhhh!!!” I screamed. Turning to the large sized driver, I caught a faint metallic glint in the darkness of the vehicle.A gun.Heat pooled within my stomach. My heart hammered against my ribs. My throat stung like acid was poured in as I instinctively raised my hands above my head.“Sit still and shut the fuck up!—” His head whipped from the dark road to my terrified face at the back seat. “—or I'll shoot you before you get to them.”“Them?” My bottom lip
