---WARNING: Dark Romance. Mature Audience Only. Contains Sexual Content, Dubious Consent, and Intense Situations.---
He watched her from the shadows, a hidden obsession. She fainted at the slightest fear. He was just a boy then, powerless against the campus kingpin who tormented her, a rival heir to a brutal empire. But empires fall. And obsessions, once set, never die.
Years later, on a moonlit beach, Seraphina's world shatters. Her boyfriend, a cruel cheat, humiliates her for a bet and leaves her for dead. She awakens to a familiar face—Alessandro Torricelli, now a ruthless Mexican mafia boss who takes what he wants. He’s back to claim what he believes is his: her.
He promises freedom in 365 days if she doesn't fall in love. But Alessandro's world is a gilded cage of raw power, inescapable desire, and dangerous games.
As Seraphina navigates his opulent fortress, fighting his possessive touch and the unwanted hunger he ignites, their volatile dynamic sparks a dangerous game of seduction. They keep score, each erotic encounter a win or loss, unknowingly binding them closer with every calculated move.
Yet, beyond their sensual battle, a chilling reality looms: her old tormentor, Dino Moretti, still stalks the shadows, and this time, he's coming for them both. With a brewing war threatening to consume his empire, Alessandro vows to protect her, even from herself. But can Seraphina survive his love, escape his enemies, and resist the magnetic pull of the man who sees her fragility as a weakness to conquer, and her defiance as a challenge to possess?
In this city of shadows, hearts are collateral, and their game of love is the most dangerous score of all.

Chapter: Same Contract, Same Rules; Who's lying?Darkness peeled away slowly, dragging me back to a world I didn’t want.The first thing I noticed was the bed. Soft. Too soft. The sheets smelled faintly of smoke and salt. My chest rose and fell in uneven jerks, each breath scraping my throat raw.And then—him.Dino Moretti.He sat shirtless on a stool in the corner, his arms draped over his knees as if he owned the air I breathed. The lamp behind him threw long shadows, carving his tattoos into shapes I didn’t want to recognize. His chest was broader than I remembered, cut with muscle, ink crawling over him like vines. On his side, just under the ribs, a scar glared white against his olive skin—the bullet wound Alessandro had left him.He smiled when he saw my eyes widen. “You lookin’, mia Sera? Don’t be shy now. This body’s been built on pain. And you know what?” He thumped his chest with one fist. “Still standin’. Still breathin’. Still the one everybody fears.”As if I cared if he ever got shot or dead. I couldn’t speak. My throat

Chapter: Safehouse ~ Seraphina ~He stared at me, seconds, then he closed the distance between us and held me pinned. His breath was hot against my mouth, eyes dark with something that trembled between restraint and surrender.“I’ve waited too long,” he rasped, every word roughened with hunger. “Say the word, Seraphina.”The contract, the rules, the games we’d played to keep ourselves in check—all of it shattered inside me in that heartbeat.“Fuck the contract,” I whispered, clutching his jaw, staring into those burning eyes. “You own me.”His anger was swallowed in the kiss that followed, fierce and shaking, as though he’d been starved for years. Of course, he had.His hands were everywhere—at my waist, in my hair, sliding lower, urgent but reverent, like he didn’t know whether to claim or worship. The wall caught my back with a sharp thump, and I gasped into his mouth, clutching him tighter.Clothes fell away in a frantic blur. Buttons popped, fabric tore, neither of us patient enough to care. His che

Chapter: Disaster ~ Alessandro ~The next morning. I had to return to work. I marched to her bedroom door, expecting it locked, expecting another defiance. It was.But I had the master key.She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her back to me, her shoulders stiff. "Go get Maze," she said. "She can do anything after all."My jaw tightened. "Don't tell me you're jealous, Seraphina." I shot back."Fuck, never!" she barked, turning to face me, her eyes flashing, but I saw the tell-tale tightness around her mouth. She was. And the knowledge twisted something in my gut, a perverse satisfaction."Well, I'm going out," I stated, ignoring her lie. "My men will deliver a truckload of clothing to you. Tonight, I have a party in one of my clubs, and you'll be there with me. They'll bring you." I turned, leaving no room for argument, the scent of her anger clinging to the air.***After the daily drill, I returned to T-Point Club for the party. The club pulsed with the heavy beat of electronic music, a chaotic sy

Chapter: 2-2~ Seraphina ~The darkness of my bedroom pressed in on me.Sleep was an impossible dream, haunted by the seductive power of Alessandro. Two to one, I whispered to myselfBut the win felt hollow. I needed more. I needed to beat him on aggregate, to make him crack, to make him feel the raw, insistent need that churned within me, a need I refused to acknowledge.I threw off the covers. My heart pounded a frantic rhythm against my ribs as I walked, my bare feet silent on the cool marble, towards his room.The door was slightly ajar, a sliver of light spilling into the hallway. I pushed it open.He was standing in the center of the vast room, wearing only a low-slung towel that barely covered his hips. Water slicked his skin, clinging to the hard planes of his chest and the defined lines of his abs.I walked in and sank onto the plush sofa by the window. I deliberately spread my legs, letting the silk nightgown part reveal a hint of my thighs.His eyes, dark and sharp, instantly locked ont

Chapter: 2-1~ Seraphina ~The jet landed at Veridia airport, and as we walked, I yanked my hand from Mazikeen and bolted through the airport lobby. "Seraphina!" Alessandro's roar followed me.I spotted airport officials and rushed towards them. "Sir, I've been kidnapped! One Alessandro Torricelli! He even touched me!"They looked at each other and suddenly snapped to attention. "Jefe, bienvenido," they said.I turned. Alessandro stood there, a predatory smile on his lips. "You should have run in York Isles, Seraphina. This city… Veridia… is mine." He grabbed my hand and dragged me out.A black Rolls Royce waited in the garage, flanked by vans and men in dark coats. "Boss," they murmured. He shoved me into the car. I faced him, anger boiling. He smiled. I looked away.After some minutes, the car stopped before a fortress: high stone walls, razor wire, and grim guards. It wasn't a home; it was a prison.He meant the 365 days of imprisoning me? I wondered.Inside, the grand foyer gleamed with marble

Chapter: 1-1Alessandro ~The sun streamed through the heavy curtains when I re-entered the room, carrying a stack of clothes.I watched her from the doorway, taking in the defiant set of her jaw even in sleep. She was fragile, yes, but there was a fire there, too. A fire I intended to stoke."Wake up, Seraphina," I commanded. "Time to get dressed."Her eyes fluttered open, then widened as they met mine. A flicker of fear was quickly replaced by stubborn defiance.I expected her to argue. But then she pushed herself up, the flimsy gown riding high on her thighs.I looked elsewhere. Even a reveal of her nape turned me on. Let alone her thigh.I placed the clothes on the bed: soft cotton underwear, a pair of loose, dark jeans, and a simple, fitted T-shirt. Practical. For travel. But even simple clothes on her would be a challenge."Get ready," I repeated.She glared at me, her chest heaving slightly. But she reached for the clothes, her movements deliberate, as if each touch was a rebellion.She pul
