Synopsis

Dark Romance

Forbidden Love

Hate to Love

Revenge

Hidden Identity

Elena Rossi has spent ten years hating Dante Moretti. She believes he killed her father and tore her family apart. Now she cleans his penthouse under a fake name, hiding her face and who she really is. Her plan is simple: get close, find his weakness, make him pay. Around her neck she wears a silver locket she doesn't understand — inside, a faded photo of a young man she doesn't recognize. Dante Moretti runs New York with cold precision. Ten years ago he lost the only woman he ever loved, and buried his heart along with her. Then Elena walks into his penthouse. He catches her trying to steal from him. He should kill her. Instead, he keeps her close. Something about her won't leave him alone — her scent, her voice, the fire in her eyes when she fights him. His heart remembers what his mind can't. Forced together, Elena's hate starts to crack. Her body remembers his touch. Her nightmares fill with a man with sad eyes, whispering her name. When she opens the hidden compartment in her locket, she finds a note: "If you find this, it means I am gone. But my love is not. Come back to me, Elena. I am waiting." Her world shatters. Her uncle Victor erased her memory. He killed her father — and framed Dante for it. Elena and Dante join forces to bring Victor down. In the end, her memories return in full. She chooses love over revenge. Together, they build a new future, ruling both families with strength and mercy. Six months later, Elena stands in the yellow nursery, pregnant with Dante's child. He wraps his arms around her. "We were enemies. We were strangers. We fell in love twice. And we lived."

I BURIED YOU
The elevator doors slide open on the fortieth floor, and Elena's stomach drops the way it always does. Not from the height. From him.She grips the handle of her cleaning cart and steps out into the hallway. The carpet is the color of wine, thick enough to swallow her footsteps.Somewhere behind these walls, Dante Moretti is home. She can feel it, the way you feel a storm coming before the sky even changes color.Just get in. Get out. Do your job.That's what Victor told her. Simple words for something that isn't simple at all.She pushes the cart down the hall, past a wall of black-and-white photographs she has never let herself really look at.Old buildings. Old men in old suits. A city that doesn't exist anymore. She keeps her eyes down and her badge pinned straight — AMARA, it says, in small silver letters.Not her name. She doesn't know her real one, not really. Just the one Victor gave her ten years ago, the way you'd hand someone a coat that doesn't quite fit.The penthouse do

THE NAME SHE DIDN'T KNOW
Morning comes gray and quiet. The city outside is still half-asleep under a thin fog. Elena's arm has gone numb from the angle of the cuff.When she shifts, pain shoots up through her shoulder, sharp enough to make her groan.Dante is still in the chair. He never left. His eyes are red-rimmed. His tie is gone. His shirt is open at the collar.He looks like a man who spent the whole night fighting something inside his own head and lost."You didn't sleep," she says. It isn't a question."Neither did you."She tugs at the cuff again, wincing. "Are you going to let me go, or is this the plan? Starve me out?"He stands. For a second she thinks he's going to say something cruel. Instead, he crosses the room, pulls a small key from his pocket, and unlocks the cuff without a word.Her wrist is raw and pink where the metal sat all night. He looks at it a moment too long, jaw tight, like the sight of it bothers him more than he wants it to."Go clean yourself up," he says. "Bathroom's through

CAN'T LOOSE YOU AGAIN
Elena stands outside the penthouse door the next morning, cart in hand, and tells herself this is just a job. Nothing more.She has done this a hundred times before. Walk in, clean, walk out, report back to Victor. That is all this is.Her hand shakes a little on the door handle anyway.Inside, the penthouse is quiet. Sunlight cuts long gold lines across the floor. She half expects Dante to be waiting for her, arms crossed, that unreadable look on his face.He isn't. The place feels almost empty, and something in her chest loosens and tightens at the same time. She doesn't know which reaction she wants more.She starts in the kitchen, wiping down counters that are already spotless, just to have something to do with her hands. That is when she smells it.His cologne. Faint, lingering on the air near the hallway. Cedar. Something dark underneath it, like smoke.She freezes, cloth still in her hand.She knows that smell.Not from last night. From somewhere older. Somewhere she cannot rea

THE TRUTH
Victor Rossi stands at the window of his study, a glass of untouched scotch in his hand, watching the city lights flicker below like nothing in the world is wrong.His hands are steady. His voice, when Adrian finally picks up the phone, is calm as still water."She's still alive," Victor says. "The men I sent are dead. Moretti's men killed them both.""I heard." Adrian's voice comes through easy, almost cheerful, like he is discussing the weather instead of a failed hit."You're losing men faster than you're losing patience, Victor. That's not like you.""Don't test me tonight.""I never test you. I just observe." A pause, the soft clink of a teacup on the other end of the line. "How is our girl?"Victor's jaw tightens. "Getting close to him. Too close.""That was rather the plan, wasn't it? Get close, find his weakness, destroy him.""Not this close." Victor sets his glass down, hard enough that the ice rattles. "She's starting to remember things.I can hear it in her voice on the ph

NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU
ChapElena runs the last two blocks to the penthouse building. The note is crumpled in her fist. Her breath comes in ragged bursts that have nothing to do with the running.The doorman barely gets her name out before she is already past him, into the elevator, jamming the button for the fortieth floor over and over like that will make it move faster.By the time the doors open, her hands shake so hard she can barely get the door code right.The penthouse is dim, lit only by a lamp in the study. She doesn't call out for him. She doesn't trust her voice yet.She just walks, fast, past the black-and-white photographs she never let herself look at before. Now she understands why.Because one of them, she realizes with a jolt, has a woman in the corner of the frame. Laughing. Curls escaping her pins. And it is her. It is her.She doesn't make it to the study.Halfway down the hall, the weight of it all crashes over her at once. Ten years. A stolen name.A dead father who isn't dead because

THE GROUND SHIFT
Elena doesn't go back to Queens that night, or the night after.Dante doesn't ask her to stay. He doesn't have to. She just finds herself still there in the mornings, drinking coffee in his kitchen, her cart of cleaning supplies pushed into a closet and forgotten.Neither of them mentions out loud that the job Victor sent her to do doesn't exist anymore.She is folding a blanket on the couch when Gabriel appears in the doorway. Silent as always.Arms crossed over his chest. She still isn't used to him—the way he moves without sound, the way his eyes seem to catalogue every exit in a room before he even sits down."You're still here," he says. Not a question."Is that a problem?""Didn't say that." He steps into the room, watching her carefully, the way he watches everything. "Dante trusts you. That's new.""Is it.""He hasn't trusted anyone in ten years. Not fully." Gabriel's voice is flat, but there is something underneath it. Something almost gentle. "You should know what that means

THE RECKONING
Marco spreads the files across the desk like a man laying out a losing hand of cards. Bank statements. Shipping manifests.Photographs of men who don't exist on paper anywhere else. The papers cover every inch of the dark wood surface, and the more Elena looks at them, the heavier her chest feels."This is three weeks of digging," Marco says. His voice is flat with exhaustion. "It's not enough yet."Dante flips through the pages, his jaw tight enough to ache. "Enough for what?""Enough to take him down clean. Right now all we've got is money moving in circles and men who'll deny everything the second a lawyer walks in the room."Marco taps one photograph with his finger. "We need someone willing to testify. On the record. Someone Victor trusts."Elena stands at the window, her back to them, staring out at the city lights. She turns around slowly. Something clicks into place behind her eyes."I know someone," she says.Both men look at her."Sofia," she continues. "She's worked inside

AFTERMATHS
The warehouse goes quiet fast, once it's over.Elena's thirty seconds inside had barely started when Victor's calm cracked—when she refused to hand over anything, when Sofia, bound to a chair but very much alive, spat at his feet and called him a coward to his face.That was the moment Dante came through the door, Gabriel right behind him, and Victor's men, outnumbered and unpaid enough not to die for him, put their hands up before a single new shot was fired.Victor didn't fight when they cuffed him. He just looked at Elena the whole time, calm as ever, like none of it touched him at all."You'll regret this," he said quietly, as two of Dante's men walked him out. "Both of you."Neither of them answered him.---Now, hours later, Elena sits on the edge of the bathtub in Dante's penthouse. Sofia, wrapped in a blanket, shivers on the closed toilet lid beside her. A mug of tea sits untouched in her hands, the steam long since faded.The bathroom is warm. The tiles are white marble, spot

THE TRIAL BEGINS
The courthouse steps are packed with cameras by seven in the morning. Three hours before anything even starts.The sky is gray, heavy with clouds that promise rain but haven't delivered yet. Reporters jostle for position, their voices rising in a constant hum of questions nobody is answering.Elena stands behind the tinted glass of the car, watching the crowd through the window. Her hands are twisted together in her lap.Her knuckles are white. She hasn't slept well in three days, and it shows in the dark circles under her eyes."You don't have to look at them," Dante says beside her. His hand covers both of hers, steady and warm.His thumb traces slow circles over her skin. "You can close your eyes. We still have time.""I know." She doesn't stop looking. Her voice is quiet, almost distant. "I just keep thinking—ten years ago, if someone had told me I'd be walking into a courtroom to testify against my own uncle, I would have called them insane.""You're not the same person you were

THE HUNT BEGINS
The call comes during the second week of the trial.Court has just ended for the day. Elena is packing her bag. Her fingers are still shaking. Another afternoon on the witness stand.Another afternoon of Victor's lawyer trying to break her. The prosecutor was gentle. Victor's lawyer was not.He tried to trip her up. He tried to make her doubt herself. He tried to paint her memories as unreliable.She held firm. She held her ground. But it cost her something. She can feel it in her bones. A deep exhaustion that sleep cannot fix.Marco's phone buzzes in his pocket.Elena watches his face change as he answers. The color drains from his cheeks. His jaw tightens. His eyes find Dante.There is something in them that makes her stomach drop. She knows that look. She has seen it before.It is the look of a man who is about to deliver bad news."Say that again," Marco says into the phone. His voice is low. Controlled. But there is fear underneath it. A tremor she has never heard from him before
