The Power Behind Her Mask

Marco Regnante knows what it means to have led a hard life. Taken away from his family and sold to a cartel. Then forced to fend for himself and fight in an underground boxing ring before his teens, only to be thrown onto the road and left to die. He survived due to one reason alone: a group of boys saving his life. Nearly fifteen years later, adopted by the Regnante family, he has grown to be one hell of a man and the protege of the world's most ruthless Mafia Boss. Marco is a man for casual flings to sate his carnal desires, whereas his friends constantly attempt to set him up. Something which he finds irking because it's "Always flings. Never commitment."Now, throw into the mix, the 22-year-old Sofia Giordano, the Mafia daughter who was almost sold as a sex slave, and saved by the enemy, then thrust onto Marco as his responsibility; a direct order from The Boss. He is a man that leaves for work at 9 a.m and returns late at 11 p.m, and all he wants is peace and quiet to help him unwind for the day. But with Sofia around, he can wave peace goodbye, that girl dragging chaos with her wherever she walks. Something...which tests patient Marco's limitations--which happen to be wearing thin. After weeks and months of spending time together, they manage a routine and start to warm up to one another, and just when they think that things couldn't get any better, what happens when they find out Marco isn't who he claims to be? That he is not the man he thinks he is? That his reality is far worse than it actually seems? Forcing him to choose between what is right, and what is most dear.

WARNING!!! 18+++ Pastikan usia kalian sudah dewasa untuk membaca cerita ini! “Kalau aku tertarik padamu, apa kau akan membuka hatimu untukku?” Aneesa membalas tatapan Marcello yang menatapnya dengan lembut, tetapi sangat serius. Seperti bukan Marcello yang dikenalnya, tetapi kemudian tertawa pelan lalu meneguk Bacardi dan menatap Marcello dengan geli. “Jawaban bodoh macam apa? Kau sudah punya gadis yang kau incar, dan aku pasti bukan tipemu, kan?” katanya sembari melepaskan lengannya dan berbalik. Namun, Marcello menarik siku Aneesa kemudian lengannya melingkar di pinggang gadis itu dan hanya dalam hitungan detik bibir Marcello telah berada di bibir Aneesa. Aroma Bacardi yang kuat segera memenuhi penciuman Marcello, begitu pula rasanya—hangat, namun sedikit manis dan membakar di tenggorokan seperti campuran amarah, gengsi, dan sesuatu yang tak bisa dikendalikan. Aneesa terpaku, tubuhnya menegang di antara lengan Marcello yang menahannya agar tidak beranjak. Untuk sesaat dunia di sekeliling mereka seolah lenyap, hanya ada degup jantungnya yang terpacu cepat di dada, berpadu dengan napas Marcello yang terasa di kulitnya. Sentuhan lembut bibir Marcello di bibirnya bak ribuan bujuk rayu yang terus mendesaknya dan Aneesa pun perlahan membuka bibirnya. Menyerah dan membiarkan Marcello mencumbuinya kemudian perlahan membalas ciuman Marcello. Aneesa mengerang, tubuhnya merapat pada Marcello, dan sesuatu yang menyiksa bergelung di bawah perutnya. Namun, akal sehatnya menghampiri membuatnya tersadar jika seharusnya tetap pada batasan dan tidak melewatinya. Ada begitu banyak suara di kepala Aneesa, sangat berisik membuat Aneesa memilih memejamkan matanya lagi. Namun, Marcello justru kembali menciumnya. Kali ini lebih lembut, tidak begitu memaksa dan membuat Aneesa ingin menangis karena meskipun menyadari ada batasan yang seharusnya tidak dilewati nyatanya tubuhnya seperti kehilangan kontrol dan sepenuhnya mendambakan sentuhan Marcello.
