LOGINEdward Poletto, a feared mafia king, rules his vast empire with an iron fist. One day, while inspecting his vineyard, he meets Cecilia, a beautiful and humble grape picker. For the first time in his life, Edward feels the stirrings of love, something entirely foreign to his cold, calculating heart. He approaches Cecilia, hoping to win her affection, but she rejects him, revealing that she already has a lover. Used to getting whatever he wants, Edward is consumed by rage and jealousy. In a fit of fury, he murders Cecilia's lover, leaving her devastated and alone. With no one left to protect her, Edward forces Cecilia to marry him, dragging her into a life of luxury that feels more like a prison. Though she now lives in a grand mansion, Cecilia feels trapped in a hellish existence. Edward’s cruel and possessive nature makes her life unbearable, yet behind his rough exterior lies a deep, unspoken love for her. Unable to show his true feelings, he chooses control and domination, believing it’s the only way to keep her by his side. As Cecilia struggles to survive in this dark world, she begins to see glimpses of the man Edward hides beneath his hardened exterior, torn between fear, hatred, and the faintest hope for something more.
View MoreSean hid in the forest, his breaths heavy and labored as he leaned against the rough bark of a tree. Blood dripped steadily from the deep wound on his arm, staining his shirt and the forest floor beneath him. He clenched his teeth, his face twisted in pain and frustration. “Damn it!” Sean growled, slamming his fist against the tree trunk. The sharp pain in his arm flared, forcing a hiss through his gritted teeth. His thoughts raced as he cursed his enemies—and himself—for underestimating Edward and Victor. "How could this happen?" he muttered angrily, his voice low but filled with venom. "Those bastards will pay for this."The distant sound of footsteps and voices echoed through the forest, growing louder with each passing moment. Sean's eyes darted around, scanning the darkened woods for a place to hide or a path to escape. Edward's men were closing in, and he knew he couldn’t stay here for long. Clutching his injured arm, Sean pushed himself off the tree and stumbled forward, his
Edward ran through the corridor, He shoved open every door in his path, quickening his pace toward Sean's private quarters. The closer he got, the clearer he heard Sean's laughter echoing down the hallway.Edward furrowed his brows, his eyes narrowing sharply, and his heartbeat quickened. When he finally reached the door, he didn’t think twice before shoving it open with all his strength. The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang, and Edward was immediately greeted by a scene that made his blood boil.Cecilia was in the center of the room, sitting on the floor with her hands tied behind her back. Her usually flowing hair was now a disheveled mess. Sean stood behind her, one rough hand yanking Cecilia’s hair, forcing her head back painfully. Cecilia winced but said nothing. Her eyes locked onto Edward's.“Finally, you’re here,” Sean said with a mocking grin, glaring at Edward with eyes full of hatred. “I almost thought you didn’t care about Cecilia. But it seems I was wrong.”
Cecilia began to regain consciousness, feeling dizzy and weak, but the sound of approaching footsteps made her alert. Sean walked closer, his cold gaze fixed on Cecilia tied to the chair. “What do you want from me? Edward won’t let this happen!” she snapped. Sean chuckled softly, then stepped closer. “Of course, he’ll come. That’s the main goal of all this. I want to see how far he’s willing to go for you.” Cecilia glared at him, trying to hide her fear. “You won’t win against Edward. He’ll destroy you,” she said. Despite her deep hatred for Edward, she at least knew he loved her. Sean leaned down, bringing his face closer to hers. “I’m ready to face Edward. But you…” He paused, a sinister smile spreading across his face. “You are the key to making him lose his mind.” Cecilia remained silent, averting her gaze. Sean straightened up and ordered his men to tighten the security. “Guard her. This woman is enough to make Edward anxious, and that’s exactly what I want because wh
"This is the time," Sean said firmly, his voice cold and calculated as he stood in front of his men. "Edward is out of the country. There's no better chance than now to take her. I want Cecilia here before dawn. Do you understand me?" The men nodded silently, One of them hesitated for a moment. "But, boss... Edward's mansion is heavily guarded. His men won't let us get close without a fight." Sean’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "No loose ends. I don't care what it takes, she's got to come with us and take him to my empty apartment, I want to see how worried Edward is about his wife." The room fell into an eerie silence. Sean’s orders were absolute. No one dared to question him again. ---Sean and the others rushed to Edward's luxurious mansion.
