LOGINAlexandro Lancaster is a billionaire feared mafia boss. As the head of the Lancaster mafia empire, he has everything a man could want... wealth, power, and influence. Everything except the woman he lost. When he meets Isabel Ramirez, a cheerful nanny struggling to survive, he is shocked because she looks exactly like his late wife, Emily. Unable to resist, Alexandro hires Isabel to care for his daughter, Kai. What begins as a professional arrangement soon turns into a dangerous attraction. Isabel thought that this is true love, but it shatters when she discovers Alexandro's darkest secret that he is a ruthless mafia boss. Worse, she learns she was never special to him. She was merely a replacement... Heartbroken and abandoned, Isabel disappears from his life. Then fate reveals an impossible truth. She is not Isabel Ramirez. She is Emilia Valeroza... the long-lost heiress of one of the most powerful mafia dynasties in the world. Five years later, Isabel returns as Emilia... a billionaire and a feared mafia queen. She's a woman no one dares underestimate. Now Alexandro must face the consequences of losing the only woman he ever truly loved. But as old enemies rise, shocking family secrets surface, and a woman believed dead returns seeking revenge, Alexandro and Emilia must decide whether love is still worth fighting for or whether power will destroy them both.

Her words from last night came back to me, and my heart ached... I could feel how heavy it was for her, never having known or seen her mother.I let out a long, quiet sigh.Later, I helped the other maids set plates and cutlery on the long dining table. Everything was prepared, and Kai’s school bag was packed and ready too.“You know what? I really love cooking this kind of food. I’ve been trying out new recipes back home,” one maid said.“Same here. How about you, Isabel?” another asked. “What do you like to eat? What things do you enjoy.... or places you dream of visiting?”I smiled gently as I thought about it. “I eat almost anything, really. As for places, I’ve always wanted to see beaches and mountains. Anywhere beautiful and open. I’ve barely ever left our town before.”“Beaches sound amazing! Maybe after payday we can all go s
ALEXANDRO“Do you f*cking love her?!” I roared, repeating the question one last time. He held my gaze, unflinching... then answered clearly.“I do.”I froze.'I do...''I do...''I do...'The words he f*cking said echoed in my head, sharp and burning. My jaw tightened, my fists clenched so hard my knuckles turned white. I wanted nothing more than to smash his f*ckin face in.... but I held back.My rage, though that would not stay hidden.“In that case....” I said quietly, glancing over at my men.They understood instantly. They dragged a heavy metal drum forward and pried open the lid.“W-What are you going to do with me?!” Anthony screamed, terror finally breaking through his defiance. I gave him not even a flicker of mercy.“Taking you exactly where you belong,” I said coldly.“What do you mean?! L-Let me go!”“Go to hell, you lying piece of sh*t. Give my regards to the devil,” I told him, then turned and walked away.I didn’t listen to his pleas as they forced him inside the drum.
ISABEL“Nanny Isabel!”Kai jumped to her feet the moment she saw me and ran straight over, wrapping her arms tight around my legs.“I thought.... you left me for good,” she said quietly.“I would never do that to you,” I promised, stroking her hair and patting her back gently.“It’s so good to have you back.”I looked up to see sir Alex standing at the top of the stairs, hands in his pockets, a soft, warm smile on his face.“Daddy! I’m going to be so happy for my birthday now! Nanny Isabel is home!” Kai beamed up at him.“Birthday?” I asked in surprise.“She turns eleven this coming Wednesday,” sir Alex answered. I nodded slowly.“Come on, Nanny Isabel! I have so many new toys in my room! You can even sleep there if you want!” Kai tugged eagerly at my hand. I followed her gladly, desperate to escape the weight of Sir Alex’s gaze.I FINISHED WASHING the plates from our snack. Kai had fallen asleep long before I did.“Thank you.”I nearly jumped out of my skin. Sir Alex was standing rig
ISABELI moved to greet other mourners, but my eyes kept drifting toward Mama and sir Alex. They were talking quietly. Mama wiping tears from her eyes, while sir Alex listened calmly and spoke gently to soothe her.I let out a long breath. It was better this way, I told myself; having Mama keep him company meant I wouldn’t feel so awkward standing near him.“Isabel.”I turned at the sound of my name.“Anthony! It’s been so long! How are you?” I smiled at my childhood friend.“I’m doing fine. What about you? I’ve missed you ever since you left our town. We haven’t had time to catch up.... and then this happened, losing your Papa.”My smile turned sad as I looked toward his open casket. I missed him terribly.“That’s why I had to leave and find work—to help pay for his treatment. I never thought that after just a few weeks away, he would be gone,” I told him softly.He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and patted my back.“It hurts so much, but maybe it’s for the best? He’s not sufferi
