Never show weakness
Never show emotion
Never let your guard down
Growing up in his father's Mafia it's all Dante Moretti has ever known. For years he's abided by those rules, never straying from the path he's been placed on since he was eight. Over time his cold, heartless mentality grew along with his resolve and it's not long before he takes his father's place as Don of the Moretti crime family.
For twenty four years he's never broken those three rules, and he's never taken them for granted. Until he sets his eyes on her...
Never leave a trail
Never stop running
Never look back
Those three rules were the mantras that has kept Ava Gomez alive for the two years she's been on the run from her abusive father. With no identity of her own and no real place to call home, Ava never stays in one place for too long. On the first hint she's being followed, she packs and flees, leaving everything behind without a second thought.
She's never stopped running since then. Until she bumps into him...
"P..please help, some men are chasing m..me," her angelic voice was music to my ears, her innocence captivating my soul. But seeing the terrified look in her eyes and the blood on her clothes made me clench my fists in rage.
Hearing her labored breaths, I looked down to see her cough up a mouthful of blood while clutching her chest. Her eyes rolled back and in the next instant she staggered off her feet. Thinking fast I caught her before she fell. Struggling to remain calm I picked up her unconscious form and carried her to my car.
With immense care I put her in the passenger seat of my car and strapped her in. Seeing her deplorable condition, murderous thoughts were running through my mind. Whoever was responsible for her condition, whoever was the source of her pain, will not live to see the light of another day.
I'll bring death to anyone who brings harm to my angel.
