LOGINElara Robertson is caught in a dangerous game after her father gives her away–as payment for his debt. She finds herself tangled up with Marco De Luca, a cold-hearted mafia boss. Just when everything seems dark, she finds a bit of light in Léo, the Chief chef who seems to understand her. But everything changes on one crazy night, forcing Elara into a marriage with Marco that feels loveless and suffocating. She’s left feeling trapped and tormented. Now, Elara faces a tough choice: will she find the strength to break free and reclaim her happiness, or will she become just another victim of Marco De Luca?
View MoreThat same night, Léo sought Elara. He walked quietly down the hallway toward her room.Marco, still in his study, heard the faint footsteps and recognized the knock on Elara’s door. Jealousy surged through him like wildfire. His hatred for Léo was growing into something he couldn’t contain.No one dared to go near what belonged to him—not on earth, not in the underworld. Even hell trembled at the sound of his name. He wasn’t just a man—he was a storm in a tailored suit. A living nightmare. His name wasn’t whispered—it was carved in fear.Even the devil thought twice before crossing him.He didn’t just burn bridges—he scorched entire kingdoms, leaving behind only ash and silence. Crossing Marco De Luca was a death wish dressed in arrogance. And those foolish enough to try never lived long enough to regret it.Power didn’t follow Marco. It knelt before him.He would tear apart anyone who touched what was his—limb from limb, without mercy.He pushed out of his chair, ready to kill Léo on
Later that night, Marco sat in his study, slouched in his leather chair, scrolling through documents on his phone when a message popped up. It was from his mother.'Marco, isn't it time you gave us a grandson?'He sighed. She was on this topic again. Every other month it was the same message in different words. He wasn’t in the mood for “The Heir” conversation tonight.He would never let Rosina give him an heir. She was too ambitious, too unpredictable. Who knew what she or her family might do if they got a taste of control? Giving her a child meant giving her power. And that was never going to happen.Before he could process those thoughts, his phone rang again."Mamma" is displayed on the screen.He groaned, rubbing his temples. He should’ve known she’d call if he didn’t respond. Ignoring her message was one thing—but not picking up the phone? He wouldn’t dare. She always knew when he’d seen a message.He picked up.“Pronto, Mamma,” (Hello Mom) he answered flatly.“Marco, why did
Marco sat alone in the glass-walled conference room of De Luca Enterprises, staring blankly ahead.His suit was crisp, and his posture composed—but his mind was not.Steam curled upward from the untouched cup of espresso in front of him. He didn’t move. The memory still flashed in his mind:She had been pressed against him, her lips parted, her skin warm beneath his hands.But the chill in the air said otherwise.A sudden knock at the door shattered the illusion.A young woman, elegant and poised in her black suit, stood outside. Her golden, wavy hair dropped over her shoulders.“Sir?” Her voice came through the intercom. “The Singapore partners are ready for the call.”Marco blinked. Once. Slowly. His grip loosened. He drew in a breath and adjusted the cuff of his shirt as his jaw flexed.He had dozed off in his chair, but she still came to him in a dream.Elara. Always Elara. Clinging to him like a shadow he couldn't shake.He hated it—hated her—for showing up even in sleep.And to
Elara kept her distance. Since their last confrontation, she had been careful—avoiding Marco in every possible way. At the dining table, she avoided his gaze. She always kept a few steps away and spoke only when necessary. She even had Léo replace her as the one who brought Marco his tea.Marco, who had grown used to seeing her in those quiet moments, found himself expecting her presence. But she never showed up.Now, he was pissed.Who did she think she was to avoid him? Did she really believe she could win this game? She’d be foolish to think so.Yet, despite his frustration, Marco sensed something deeper. She wasn’t keeping her distance out of fear. It was something else.And he felt it.She had made up her mind—whether to test his obsession or to prove something to herself, he wasn’t sure. But she was playing a dangerous game.She was toying with him, whether she realized it or not. The way she avoided him, the way her lips parted slightly before she bit them, the way her hands tr
Marco stared at her for what felt like an eternity. It was as if he were searching for a reason to stop—but he found none. Instead, he found more reasons to continue.The innocence in her eyes kept pushing him. He had to know if it was just in her gaze or if it was truly a part of her.Elara was br
The room reeked of alcohol and smoke because of his presence.Elara gasped, her eyes widened in surprise as her eyes met Marco'sHer body tensed, every instinct screaming at her to cover herself, to run—but she couldn’t. She was frozen in place. Her heart hammered as she watched him take two slow
Elara's povJust as I lifted the knife, a firm hand grabbed my arm, distracting me from my thoughts. I gasped as the knife fell from my hand and clattered to the floor. I turned and saw a figure standing there, his face filled with concern. “Hey! Stop,” he said, his voice soothing but steady.
Elara's pov“Change into this,” he ordered, dropping a neatly folded dress on the bed.With that, he turned sharply and left, slamming the door behind him.I hesitated for a moment before picking up the dress. It was made with satin, sleek black in color.It was short and fitted, hugging my body pe
