Don't Do That

Elle pensait que sa vie était ordinaire. Jusqu’au jour où elle a croisé son regard. Quand Sophia romano, une talentueuse restauratrice d’art, est envoyée à New York pour restaurer une toile rare, elle ignore qu’elle vient de mettre les pieds dans l’antre du diable. Dante Velasco, milliardaire énigmatique et redouté, règne sur la ville avec un pouvoir absolu. Derrière ses costumes trois-pièces et son empire légal se cache un chef de la mafia impitoyable, capable d’écraser quiconque menace son règne. Mais une nuit, Sophia voit quelque chose qu’elle n’aurait jamais dû voir. Dès cet instant, elle devient une cible. Pourtant, au lieu de l’éliminer, Dante décide de la garder près de lui. Piégée dans une cage dorée, Sophia découvre un monde de luxe, de violence et de désir interdit. Dante est un homme dangereux, et il ne laisse personne s’approcher de son cœur. Mais Sophia est un mystère qu’il ne peut ignorer. Elle éveille en lui une obsession aussi brûlante que destructrice. Alors que les ennemis de Dante se rapprochent et qu’un complot menace de tout détruire, Elena devra choisir : fuir avant qu’il ne soit trop tard… ou succomber à l’homme dont elle ne peut détourner le regard, même si cela signifie brûler vive. Le danger a un nom. La passion aussi : Dante Velasco.

I was performing the hundredth "restoration" surgery on my mafia husband's latest mistress when I finally decided to leave him. For five years, I, Isabella Rossi, have lived a double life: the respected wife of a powerful Don, and the personal physician tasked with "purifying" the women he discards. Vincent's twisted religious conviction is his law: only a wife untouched by any other man can bear his legitimate heir. I was that pure wife, yet he treated me as his most unclean possession. My love for him died a slow death. A thousand empty nights. It was killed by the cold steel of my own operating table. By the sounds of other women boasting about his touch. The five-year prenuptial agreement that bound me to this hell was set to expire at midnight. I had already called my grandfather, the only man Vincent truly fears. My escape was hours away. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.

For six years, I took bullets for him and erased every sharp edge of myself. Because of the way he protected me, outsiders all believed I was the woman closest to his heart. However, when I asked for just one sincere “I love you”, he laughed and refused. “Mafia marriages aren’t about feelings. Know your place.” Then he said, “If Sophia doesn’t like it, don’t even bother.” When the bomb countdown hit thirty seconds, my don husband shoved me aside without hesitation and ran out holding Sophia in his arms. Only then did I understand that after six years of entanglement, I wasn't even worth a single hair of his sister. I slammed the divorce papers into his face. “I’m going to personally send you and your precious sister straight to hell!”

No instante em que eu renasci, a primeira coisa que eu fiz foi espalhar as "cinzas" da minha melhor amiga, Helen Doyle. Na última vida, ela engravidou antes do casamento e foi abandonada tanto pelo namorado quanto pela própria família. Lutou sozinha até o fim da gestação e, depois de sofrer horrores durante o parto, teve uma hemorragia massiva na sala de cirurgia. Com o último fio de vida, ela me implorou que eu adotasse o filho dela. Eu aceitei por pena. Para criá-lo, eu me atrasei nos estudos e fui obrigada a abandonar a escola. Sem escolha, eu levava meu filho adotivo, Aidan Sutton, comigo para o trabalho, suportando humilhações e olhares frios por onde passava. Por fim, quando ele fez dezoito anos, um olheiro descobriu o talento dele. Depois de um filme, ele virou sensação da noite para o dia e ainda levou o prêmio de Melhor Ator. Na cerimônia, Helen, que eu tinha visto morrer dezoito anos antes, entrou de braços dados com meu ex-namorado, Joe Shepherd. Fiquei tão atônita que, quando recobrei os sentidos, já tinha avançado para confrontá-la. Helen só me encarou e sorriu. — Parabéns. Você passou no teste. Eu ainda estava em choque quando Joe explicou, cheio de orgulho: — Helen é a filha do homem mais rico. Vai saber se você não se aproximou dela por dinheiro, né? Ele continuou, como se estivesse me fazendo um favor gigantesco: — Já que você criou bem o nosso filho, pode ser uma amiga comum dela. Se você criar ele até ele casar e ter filhos, aí sim você pode virar a melhor amiga da Helen. Minha cabeça explodiu. Como se eu quisesse ser amiga dela! Aquilo tinha sido dezoito anos da minha vida! Consumida por raiva e dor, com os olhos injetados de sangue, eu avancei nos dois. Mas Aidan correu do palco naquele instante e me empurrou com força. — Como ousa machucar meus pais? A raiva subiu direto para minha cabeça, e eu apaguei ali mesmo. Quando abri os olhos de novo… eu estava de volta ao dia em que Helen entrou em trabalho de parto.

Kill or be killed: That was the motto of a predator and a prey. Turns out that was the same motto in love and relationships. Walking in on my fiancee making out with someone else was the last straw it took for me to break but to save myself the humiliation, I couldn't let the huge proposal I had planned out go to waste. What happens when the stranger I had forced a ring on turned out to be the Capobastone of the Ndrangheta Clan? Even worse, my ex boyfriend was involved in the mafia and the stranger was his boss. Fate twisted and lies were uncovered and I was caught up in a little cat and rat chase with a Mafia boss and there was no hope for me getting out. His words sealed my fate: "Now i didn't force this ring on myself, you did. Might as well add more meaning to it.”
