HERS

HERS

SYNOPSIS Camila De La Vega has always believed she knows her family. But when her father arranges her marriage to Luciano Russo, a powerful Italian mafia boss, her carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Luciano is cold, calculating and dangerous, while Camila is stubborn, independent and unwilling to be controlled. Their marriage is supposed to be a business arrangement, but an old agreement connects their families in ways neither of them understands. As strange messages, forgotten photographs and buried family secrets begin to surface, Camila discovers that her late mother, Valeria, had a mysterious connection to the Russo family. The deeper she investigates, the more questions arise. Why did her mother disappear? Who is Marina De La Vega? And what does the original agreement really demand? With Luciano hiding secrets of his own and an unknown woman claiming something that belongs to Camila, trust becomes difficult and every discovery brings a new danger. Camila must decide whether Luciano is the man she should fear or the only person who can help her uncover the truth. Some family secrets are inherited. Others are deliberately buried.

Chapter: THE WOMAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
Camila barely spoke to Luciano during the journey back to the hotel. She sat beside the window, holding the silver locket in her palm. Every now and then, she opened it and looked at the tiny photograph inside. It was a picture of her mother. She had seen hundreds of photographs of Valeria growing up, but this one felt different. It was as though the woman in the picture had been trying to tell her something. Luciano glanced at her. "You're going to wear that photograph out." Camila closed the locket. "Do you always have something to say?" "Only when people sit beside me looking like they're planning a murder." She turned towards him. "Maybe I'm just thinking." "About your mother?" "About what Isabel said." Luciano looked ahead. "Which part?" "That someone from your family helped my mother disappear." He didn't answer. Camila laughed quietly. "Of course. Silence again." "I don't know what happened that night." "But you know something." "I know my father was involv

Chapter: A NAME FROM THE PAST
Camila didn't sleep much that night. The photograph on her phone kept coming back to her mind. She had looked at it so many times that she could almost remember every detail. Isabel standing outside a building, speaking to a man whose face was hidden. And the message beneath it. Your aunt knows where she is. Where was her mother? Camila had spent years believing that Valeria was gone. Her father had never given her a reason to question it. Whenever she asked about her mother, he would tell her that she was too young to understand what had happened. Now she was beginning to wonder whether he had ever told her the truth. She picked up her phone and called Isabel again. This time, the call went through. "Camila?" "Why didn't you answer my calls?" "I was busy." "Is that why you didn't tell me everything?" There was silence. Camila sat up. "I received a photograph of you with a man. Someone said you know where my mother is." Isabel sighed. "Who sent it?" "I don't know. Bu

Chapter: THE PHOTOGRAPH
Camila arrived in Palermo with more questions than answers. She hadn't told her father about the trip. She simply left a message saying she needed a few days away and switched off her phone before he could call back. She knew he would not be happy. But for once, she wasn't interested in making him happy. The taxi stopped outside a small hotel not far from the city centre. Camila paid the driver, collected her bag and walked inside. After checking in, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the message Isabel had sent her. There was an address beneath it. She picked up her phone and called the number. It rang twice. "Hello?" "Isabel? It's Camila." The woman was quiet for a moment. "You came." "Yes. I need to know where I can find you." "I'll send you the address. Come alone." Camila frowned. "Why does everyone keep telling me to come alone?" "Because some people would rather you never heard what I have to say." Before Camila could ask anything else, Isabel ended

Chapter: THE MORNING AFTER
Camila woke up to the sound of her phone vibrating on the bedside table. She reached for it without opening her eyes, hoping it was Isabella calling back. Instead, she found a message from an unknown number. There was no greeting. Just a sentence. You should ask your father what happened to your mother before agreeing to marry Luciano Russo. Camila sat up. She read it again, then checked the number. It wasn't saved in her contacts. For a moment, she considered ignoring it. People sent strange messages all the time, and she wasn't about to let an anonymous stranger ruin her morning. But then another message arrived. This time, it was a photograph. Camila opened it and felt her stomach tighten. It was an old document with the names of two families written across the top. De La Vega and Russo. She zoomed in. Some of the writing was faded, but she could make out a few sentences. Near the bottom of the page was her mother's name. Valeria De La Vega. And beneat

Chapter: THE DE LA VEGA DAUGHTER
Camila De La Vega hated family dinners. Not because she disliked her family, but because every dinner seemed to come with an announcement she was expected to accept without question. Tonight was no different. She sat at the dining table, barely touching her food. Her father had been unusually quiet since she arrived, and that alone was enough to make her suspicious. Esteban De La Vega was not a man who struggled to speak. He was used to giving instructions and having people follow them. "Is something wrong?" Camila finally asked. Her father placed his glass on the table. "We need to discuss something." She sighed. "I knew there was a reason you invited me." "Camila, this is important." "Then say it." Esteban exchanged a brief look with the man seated beside him. Camila recognised him as one of her father's business associates, although she couldn't remember his name. Her father turned back to her. "You are getting married." For a moment, she thought she had
