LOGINSynopsis From the moment I took my first breath, life made it clear I wasn’t wanted. Born to parents who never looked back, tossed into the arms of an adoptive family who caged my dreams, and then traded me to the most feared man in Italy, Stefan Rossi. Billionaire and Mafia king, a man whose name alone commands terror. I was forced into a marriage with a man who despises me, tied to a bloodline that sees me as a stain, taunted by the return of his bitchy ex right after our vows. How do you survive in a world where love is seen as a weakness. Stefan Rossi I built my empire with blood and fear, turning Empire Steel into a global beast and myself into the most powerful man in the underworld. I never believed in love or fate only contracts, control, and calculated. So when my late father bound me in marriage to a woman far beneath my world, I planned to claim an heir and cut her out like a tumor. But what I didn’t plan for, was her fire. Her defiance and her chaos. And the truth buried beneath the lies my father left behind. In a world of power, betrayal, and passion. we are either going to burn together or destroy each other.

Her eyes widened slightly, like she had been caught doing something she wasn’t supposed to do.“I… I didn’t know you were awake,” she said, her voice soft and a little unsure.I slowly pushed myself up against the headboard. The movement pulled at my injuries, and a sharp pain spread from my shoulder across my chest. I kept my face calm even though it hurt.“I should let you rest,” she said quickly, already turning back toward the door.“Heard you threatened to throw my grandmother out of the estate.” My words stopped her immediately.She froze, then slowly turned around to face me. “She wanted you taken to her place,” she said after a moment. “And it wasn’t wise to move you in the condition you were in. The doctor said you needed to stay here.”She hesitated before continuing. “Threatening her was the only way to make her listen.”I watched her quietly for a second b
Violet Nonna’s sharp eyes moved from Stefan lying on the bed to me sitting on the couch. Her expression hardened instantly.“What are you doing here?” she demanded. “And why did you leave her alone with Stefan?” She asked as she turned towards Oliver.I lifted my head slowly. “Is it a crime for a woman to take care of her husband when he’s in a bad shape?” I asked calmly.Her lips curled in disgust. “You will never be Stefan’s wife,” she said coldly. “Your days here are clearly numbered.”I didn’t bother replying. Instead, I picked up my pencil again and looked back down at my sketchpad, continuing the dress I had been working on like she hadn’t spoken at all.“You can put up that bold and confident facade all you want, you are just a gutter rat who will never fit in here.” She spat, I didn’t lift my head or give a reaction, I was used to hearing it already. I watched them as they walked towards him, they hovered over Stefan, fussing over him as he lay there unconscious.My pencil
VioletI was sitting in the living room with my sketchpad on my lap when the loud sound of cars rushing into the compound broke the quiet. My head snapped up, the vehicles didn’t slow down the way they usually did. Tires screeched against the pavement outside, followed by the sound of doors slamming. Something was wrong.Before I could even stand, the front door of the mansion burst open. Several of Stefan’s men rushed inside carrying him. My breath caught in my throat.Stefan’s body hung heavily between them, his head slightly tilted as they held him up. His shirt was soaked in blood, dark red spreading across the fabric and dripping onto the marble floor as they moved.Blood kept falling with every step they took. “Move!” one of the men shouted. They hurried across the living room and toward the stairs.I just stood there, frozen, watching as they carried him upstairs, the trail of blood marking every step they took.I was still standing there, frozen, staring at the staircase whe
StefanThe moment I saw the look on Purple’s face, something inside me snapped. I grabbed Rose by the arm before she could even say a word. “Move,” I growled.She stumbled slightly as I dragged her across the kitchen floor, my grip tight around her wrist. Her heels clicked loudly against the tiles as she struggled to keep up with my pace. “Stefan, you are hurting me—”“Good,” I said coldly, not even looking back at her. I pulled her through the hallway and straight to the front door. My patience had already been thin that morning, and this stunt of hers had completely burned through the last of it.The door swung open with force. I shoved her outside onto the front steps. “Leave,” I said in a low, dangerous tone.Rose turned to face me, clearly shocked by the sudden shift. “Stefan—”“I said leave.” My voice was calm, but there was nothing soft about it. “I understand this game you and Nonna are playing perfectly,” I continued, staring at her with icy anger, “but you will not come into
Violet The drive home was suffocatingly silent. I sat frozen, eyes fixed on the dark blur outside the window, but my thoughts were back at that party on Gianna. There was something hauntingly familiar about her, the tilt of her smile, the way her eyes held warmth. She looked like Stefan, undeniab
Violet I took my time getting ready, slipping into a pair of tailored blue boyfriend jeans that hugged me just right and a sleeveless white silk top that whispered luxury. My White Chanel heels clicked against the marble floor as I picked up my brown Prada bag. My perfume clung to me like confiden
VIOLET I refused to cause a scene tonight, not for them and especially not here. I wasn’t about to give them the satisfaction of seeing me unravel. So instead, I swallowed my pride along with the entire glass of champagne I grabbed off a passing waiter’s tray, letting the burn numb the fire rising
Violet After giving me a sharp once over, Stefan turned on his heel and stormed out of the house. I hurried after him, a sleek black Lamborghini roll to a stop in front of us. Without sparing me a glance, he slid into the driver’s seat, I climb in beside him, and in silence, we pull away from the
