All of Italy knew Kayson Moretti was obsessed with me. He was the untouchable Don of the Moretti family, a man who never lost control in public, yet he broke every rule for me. He declared his love at a gathering of the most powerful mafia families in the country, then bought an entire private island just to build me a glass-domed garden when he proposed. For years, he laid the world at my feet—power, jewels, territory, status. If I wanted something, Kayson didn’t promise it. He made it mine. That was why everyone believed I was the luckiest woman in Italy. They were wrong. Because the same man who swore he would die for me was sleeping with his private secretary behind my back. Worse, he got her pregnant. The day she sent me her ultrasound, their bed photos, and every intimate secret she thought would destroy me, I didn’t cry. I didn’t beg. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I erased every trace I had ever left in his world. My name. My accounts. My records. My past. I staged my death. I let the world believe I had died in a private jet crash.

"Who are you?" I ask, gawking at this ugly man who looks like the devil himself. "Your savior." savior? I may not remember anything from my past, but one thing is for sure, according to my judgment: this monster-lookalike can't be a savior. And from whom did he supposedly save me? "And if you are done ogling me, now, on your knees. Time to serve the purpose for which I saved you." I am snapped out of my thoughts by him tearing his shirt and walking closer in a pretty unnerving way. "Whi...ch is?" I whimper, trying to stand up from the bed and perhaps run for my dear life. Unfortunately, he grabs me viciously before I can take a step. A loud growl slips from my lips as he slams me back on the bed and hovers atop me. "To please me, little dove." He hoarses, embarking on his evil, dirty mission.

He just doesn't want to. What is so wrong with that? They should be thankful. It keeps him entertained and relaxed. Alex points his finger back at him. "I bet I can." Will Alex find it as easy as he thinks it will be to win the bet? Or will he run into some obstacles along the way? One of which is a tan muscular man who is willing to help Alex with whatever Alex needs, but is the man's help to win the bet or to win Alex?

Tenía ocho meses de embarazo y estaba en una gala benéfica con mi esposo, Don Massimo, cuando una familia rival nos atacó. La multitud entró en pánico. Fui empujada al suelo con fuerza. Había sangre por todas partes. Massimo perdió la cabeza, gritando por médicos, desesperado por salvar a mi bebé. Pero cuando desperté, se habían ido. Ambos. Sin bebé y sin Massimo. Recordé los disparos, a Massimo protegiéndome con su cuerpo. Un terror frío me invadió. Me arrastré hasta una silla de ruedas y recorrí el pasillo a toda prisa. Fue entonces cuando los escuché: a Massimo y al doctor. —Don, lo siento. Hicimos todo lo que pudimos. El bebé… no lo logró. Las lágrimas rodaron por mi rostro. Habían matado a mi bebé. La familia rival había matado a mi hijo. Pero sus siguientes palabras destrozaron mi mundo. —Solo había un equipo médico. Tuve que elegir. Bianca… ella también estaba esperando un hijo mío. Massimo suspiró y luego dio la orden. —Nadie se lo dirá a Arabella. Ella criará al hijo de Bianca como si fuera suyo. Él será mi único heredero. Me llevé una mano a la boca, con la visión borrosa por las lágrimas mientras me alejaba. El hombre que amaba era una mentira. Bien. Si quiere una guerra, la tendrá.

Durante cuatro años fui su secretaria y durante cuatro años calenté su cama. Lo sabía todo, desde los negocios de su familia hasta los secretos que me susurraba por las noches. Pero para él, yo no era más que un juguete al que podía recurrir cuando quisiera. En cuanto su primer amor, Sofía Costa, regresó al país, él me humilló sin pensarlo dos veces. La besó en una iglesia de Sicilia, me abandonó en una carretera, empapada por la lluvia con un corte de veinticinco centímetros en la pantorrilla, y luego me despidió con una frase fría y mordaz. Dijo que yo era alguien sin importancia, alguien a quien simplemente podía ignorar. Ella agitó el tulipán de peluche que él le había obsequiado delante de mí. —Yo soy la única a la que ama. Tú solo eras una sustituta. Mientras reconstruía mi vida en Northport y por fin encontraba algo de paz, este despiadado Don de la mafia se arrodilló frente a mi puerta, con los ojos rojos de emoción. —Elena, vuelve conmigo. Pateé su mano lejos con una sonrisa. —Tu supuesta devoción me repugna.
