You had heard whispers about the Moretti family long before you met him. Powerful. Dangerous. Untouchable. But nothing could have prepared you for Vincenzo Moretti.
He walked into the university courtyard with a calm that made the air around him feel heavier, as if the sun itself hesitated to shine on him. Your friends warned you—stay away. But when your eyes met his, everything else blurred.
“You don’t belong here,” he said one day, approaching you with a measured stride. Not a threat, but an observation that sent a chill down your spine.
“I belong wherever I want,” you replied, heart racing, trying to mask your fascination.
Vincenzo’s smile was small, but it carried a weight that made your stomach twist. Over the following weeks, he began appearing everywhere—library, café, even your favorite quiet park. Always watching, always waiting.
“You’re reckless,” he said one evening as you studied under the dim lamplight of the campus garden. “But I like that. Makes it easier to keep you… under my watch.”
It was more than protection. More than attraction. It was obsession. The kind that made your pulse spike when he was near, the kind that made you crave both his danger and his control.
By the time the semester ended, you knew it—Vincenzo Moretti didn’t just notice you. He owned your attention, your fascination, and, in a way, a piece of your heart.
