Luca
I built my empire with blood on my hands and ice in my veins. CEO. Don. God of this city. Men fear me. Women worship me. Mercy doesn’t exist in my world only power and control. And then she walked back into my life. The girl who left me seven years ago without a word. Ariel. My first love. My greatest betrayal. She thinks she can crawl back into my world, begging for a job? No. She’s here to pay. To suffer. To be reminded who she belongs to. I’ll ruin her. Use her. Devour her until there’s nothing left but me. Because no one leaves Luca Falcone. Not alive. Not twice.
Ariel
Seven years ago, I ran. I was young, scared, and desperate for a future that didn’t include the son of a mafia queen. Now, I’m a single mother fighting to keep my little boy alive, drowning in bills, and one breath away from breaking. When a job interview offers me hope, I take it until I see him. Luca. Older. Colder. The boy I once loved has become a ruthless Don. And he remembers me. Every kiss. Every lie. Every betrayal. But this time, there’s no running. Because Luca doesn’t just want revenge. He wants me, body and soul. He wants it all.
