A Contract With The Devil in a Suit
To save his mother’s life as she lay critically ill in the operating room, Dante had no choice.
The hospital bills kept piling up. Every door he knocked on for help closed, one by one. Until an offer came—dirty, dangerous, and binding.
To become a mafia boss’s kept man.
Leonard Virelli was not just a wealthy man. He was the shadow ruler of the city—ambitious, manipulative, and accustomed to getting whatever he wanted.
Including Dante.
Dante knew this was not simply a “relationship.” It was an unspoken contract of ownership. Of a body paid for. Of a life slowly brought under control.
He had never imagined himself stepping into a world like that. But for the cost of the surgery, for the only family he had left, Dante was willing to swallow his pride.
What he did not expect was how dangerous Leonard truly was.
The man did not only want Dante’s presence at his side—he wanted obedience. Loyalty. Perhaps even… his heart.
Behind the expensive suits and cold smiles, Leonard harbored an unhealthy obsession. He was not used to being rejected. Not used to losing. And the more Dante tried to keep his emotional distance, the tighter Leonard’s grip became.
Trapped between guilt, desperation, and feelings that began to grow without permission, Dante found himself asking a question he was afraid to answer:
Did he sell himself to save his mother?
Or had he unknowingly surrendered himself to a man who would never let him go?
In the mafia world filled with blood and betrayal, love is not tenderness.
Love is possession.
And Dante has just signed a contract with the most dangerous man in the city.

Chapter: Chapter 4“Dante, your mother has been moved to an elite hospital in this city. You must obey Mr. Virelli.”Ethan’s voice echoed clearly in my ear, steady and real, carrying news that I had only ever dared to hope for in silence. For a moment, I could not respond. My entire body froze, as if my mind needed time to translate those words into something I could believe.My mother had been moved.To the best hospital.That meant Leonard had kept his promise.That meant everything he said was real.I closed my eyes slowly, letting the truth settle deep inside my chest. Relief came first, sudden and overwhelming, so powerful that it almost hurt. It spread through my body like warmth after a long winter, filling spaces that had been empty for too long. But beneath that relief, there was something else. Something heavier. Something that reminded me nothing came without a price.“She… is she okay?” I asked quietly, my voice barely stronger than a whisper.“She’s stable,” Ethan replied gently. “The docto

Chapter: Chapter 3Virelli’s assistant led me out of the building without saying much. From the very beginning, the man named Marco had rarely shown any expression. His face was always flat, professional, as if everything happening tonight was nothing more than part of an ordinary work routine.A luxurious black car was already waiting in front. The door was opened for me, and I stepped inside with mixed feelings—fear, nervousness, and a quiet confusion that refused to settle. The world I had entered today felt impossibly far from the life I used to know.The drive to the apartment passed in silence. From behind the dark-tinted window, the city looked different. The lights of tall buildings began to glow one by one, vehicles crowded the streets, and nightlife slowly awakened. Meanwhile, my own life felt as though it had stopped at a single irreversible point. There was no turning back from this choice. No undoing the signature I had placed on that contract.After some time, the car stopped in front of a

Chapter: Chapter 2Virelli gave a faint smile after seeing my signature clearly written at the bottom of the contract. It wasn’t a happy smile, nor was it friendly. It was a smile of victory—the smile of someone who had just secured something he wanted and made it officially his.I was still holding the pen when he moved from behind the desk. His steps were calm, measured, full of confidence. There wasn’t the slightest hesitation in the way he walked. Meanwhile, my own heart was beating irregularly, as if it were trying to leap out of my chest.He stopped right behind me.I could feel the warmth of his body close to my back. The scent of his expensive, sharp, masculine cologne wrapped around my senses, making the atmosphere feel even more suffocating. My breathing grew shorter without me realizing it.His hand rested on the back of my chair, then slowly moved to the nape of my neck. His touch wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough to make me freeze. My entire body tensed. I didn’t dare to move.His breath

Chapter: Chapter 1The doctor’s office felt far too small to contain all the fear inside my chest.“Dante, your mother’s heart condition is very severe. The hospital bills have already exceeded the limit. If you can’t find the money for her surgery and pay the outstanding fees, we won’t be able to save her life.”Those words kept echoing in my head even after I walked out of the room.Each sentence felt like a hammer striking my skull without mercy.I walked down the hospital corridor with empty steps. The sharp smell of antiseptic stung my nose, and the white lights on the ceiling made everything look painfully bright.It felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.My mother is the only family I have. Since my father died in a workplace accident when I was still in middle school, she has worked tirelessly.She washed other people’s clothes, worked as a part-time housemaid, and even sold fried snacks in front of our house just to pay for my education.Her rough hands would always stroke my head whene
