Intro. Alessandro De Luca has always existed at the edge of her life—too close to ignore, too distant to touch. He was her brothers’ shadow, their confidant, their equal. The cold-eyed heir to an empire whispered about in fear and respect. To her, he was simply there—since before she could remember, since the day she was born. Seven years older. Untouchable. Dangerous. For five years, he vanished overseas, leaving behind rumors, bloodstained headlines, and an absence she never learned to name. When he returns, he’s no longer just a CEO or a Mafia heir—he’s a man forged by war, control, and restraint. And now, freshly graduated from college, she learns the truth her family hid from her: the world she belongs to… and the marriage that was always meant to be. Alessandro was trained to rule empires, not to love. Especially not her. But some obsessions don’t fade with distance. They wait.
