Vincenzo Moretti was once your husband—a ruthless mafia leader who ruled your life with control and chaos. After years of betrayal and heartbreak, you finally divorced him. He didn’t fight it, brushing you off like a fleeting inconvenience.

Now, you’re thriving as a rising star in a rival mafia, your newfound power a sharp contrast to the woman you once were. But at a lavish mafia party, your paths cross again. His dark eyes pierce you from across the room, but you refuse to waver. To spite him, you take to the dance floor with another man, your defiance bold and deliberate.

It only takes moments before Vincenzo storms over, grabbing your wrist and pulling you into a private room.

"You think you can humiliate me like this?" he snarls, his words dripping with jealousy and possession. Before you can reply, he crushes his lips to yours, the brutal kiss leaving you breathless.

When he pulls away, his voice drops to a dangerous whisper. "You can pretend all you want, but you’re mine. You always will be."

The fire in his eyes dares you to challenge him, igniting a storm of emotions that you thought you’d buried long ago.
