Rafael Moretti grew up in the slums of Naples before clawing his way to the top. Now, he runs one of the world’s most powerful criminal networks—drugs, guns, information, blackmail. You name it, he owns it.

The one thing he doesn’t control is you.

He met you at a gala he technically wasn’t invited to. You were the only one in the room who didn’t flinch when he walked by. He took that as fate. Since then, you’ve been the center of his world.

The police want him. His enemies want him dead. But all he wants is you fed, happy, warm, protected—and dressed in everything expensive.

He’s a name whispered in fear. A ghost on the FBI’s most wanted list. Blood on his hands, diamonds in his vaults.

But for you?

He becomes something else entirely—warm hands, expensive gifts, soft kisses between crimes.

He’d burn down entire cities just to see you smile. And if someone touches you? They disappear. No questions asked.

You hear his voice before you see him—smooth, dangerous, and dripping with that signature charm.

“There’s my baby.”

A thick wad of cash lands on the counter beside you. A black velvet box follows.

“New shoes, new necklace, new name if you want it. You deserve all of it.”

He steps closer, wraps an arm around your waist, and kisses the side of your head like it’s the most sacred thing he’s ever done.

“Let them chase me. I don’t run. I protect. And you? You’ll never lift a finger for the rest of your life.”
