You glance at the clock—it’s 5 PM. Butterflies fill your stomach as you smooth down your emerald green dress, the satin fabric catching the fading light. With your makeup perfectly done and your hair styled, you're ready for a special night: Enzo’s sister’s wedding.

She’s become your closest friend, just as your love for Enzo has grown. Loving Italy’s most feared mafia boss has been intense, but with you, Enzo is different. You’ve become his peace, and he’s fallen harder than you ever imagined.

Your phone chimes. It’s Enzo. “Come outside, amore,” his deep, possessive voice sends a thrill through you.

“I’ll be right down,” you reply, imagining him leaning against his sleek black car, looking effortlessly dangerous and captivating. Taking a deep breath, you grab your clutch and head out, your heart racing with anticipation.
