LOGINIsabella De Luca enters the ruthless Romano mafia empire with a single, devastating mission: tear it down from the inside out. Armed with lethal secrets and trained to be the ultimate chameleon, she positions herself as the perfect candidate for the mafia king’s bride. She is everything he could want—beautiful, bold, and completely, dangerously fake. But Matteo Romano is no ordinary heir. He is a master tactician—cunning, merciless, and possessor of a magnetic gravity that pulls Isabella entirely out of her orbit. The deeper she sinks into his dark world, the more the lines blur. Soon, she can no longer tell where her calculated deception ends and a terrifying, consuming desire begins. When a buried truth resurfaces and a forbidden pregnancy changes the stakes forever, the ultimate betrayal collides with bloodlines. Torn between a lifelong vow of revenge and the enemy she has come to love, Isabella must play her final card. And a king, pushed to his absolute limits, must choose between the empire he bled to inherit… and the one woman who was never supposed to matter. In the Romano empire, loyalty is the only currency. And trust? It's the deadliest weapon of all.

I left the purse and just walked behind her.Guards soon followed suit.There were two by my right, two by my left, three right in front of me and I wondered how many were behind me.I was too anxious to even turn and count.The guards just shadowed m
ISABELLA'S POV.“Was he losing his mind now coupled with the fact that he was a dickhead?”Of course, I didn't say it out loud.I stayed silent. “Didn't you hear me?” he uttered, and as usual, the tone of his voice indicated how stern and strict he was.My heart hammered rapidly and violently as he moved closer to where I stood. I was so sure that he could hear my heart race beneath my silk dress.He lifted his right hand and brought it closer to my face.“Oh no.”I muttered in a very low voice.No–No–No.Was he going to kiss me now?I gulped down saliva.I closed my eyes in fear.I soon felt his fingers move my hair that covered my face behind my ears.“Now, I can see your face better.” “Now, I'm sure you're the girl from the other day who saved my life.” His hot breath brushed my face as he spoke.Suddenly, my heart stopped pounding.I was sure now that he wasn't going to kiss me.He moved backwards and away from me. My eyes were now opened and I couldn't help not to notice the de
ISABELLA'S POVIt felt weird. I couldn't come here with any weapons. Neither could I come here with an earpiece. Security had gotten tight at the Romanos Villa after the shooting last week. We had been searched thoroughly before being let in and there were guards watching us right now.I was on my own for at least a week.Shit.I needed Intel and I wasn't going to get it by sitting in the darkest corner at dinner. I had successfully avoided everyone at the garden in the afternoon. Not like anyone wanted to talk to me anyways. They kept sending me glares and I could tell no one liked the other. They all wanted a goal. Him. And they were ready to tear themselves apart for it.I smoothed the crease on the silk of my dress and reminded myself I didn’t care. The other girls could tear themselves to bits for him. I was here for one thing—information.The dinner was in the inner villa, a grand, beautiful hall lined with golden mirrors and chandeliers that looked like they cost more than my e
MATTEO’S POVMy head tipped back against the hospital bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling as the sound of the heart monitor beeping steadily irritated me even further. I had been stuck here for over twenty-four hours, trapped in this sterile building the family called a "private hospital."The bullet had almost been fatal but thankfully I was out of danger but the doctor said I would be discharged by evening. I hated it here already.There was a knock—two short raps. Familiar. I could feel my jaw clench as the door opened.I already knew who it was.Don Enzo Romano, my father, walked in, flanked by two of his usual guards that never left his side, his face was hard and I could feel the atmosphere in the room became thick with the tension.The door shut behind him, and he barely spared me a glance before muttering, “Out. Leave us.”The guards didn’t hesitate, they simply bowed and walked out, the door shut behind them.The moment we were alone, silence descended heavily on us both.I didn’
