One delivery.one dangerous encounter.One man. that was all it took to unravel the quiet chaos Athena had carefully built around herself. her life, until that fateful moment,had been a balancing act of struggle and survival. After losing her parents in a tragic accident at sixteen,Athena's world had shifted from carefree adolescence to a life defined by responsibility. forced to move in with her ageing grandmother in the sleepy town of Rome, she traded dreams of a bright future for nights spent working shifts at the upsacle restaurant, Dolce Vita, to help make ends meet. Athena's outward simplicity masked the depth of her struggles. Beneath her calm demeanour was a young woman weighed down by grief, guilt, and longing. Grief for the life she once had. Guilt for wanting more than what she was given. And longing for a world beyond Rome, a world where her existence wasn't defined by tragedy. She had buried those feelings deep, learning to live with the ache of wanting without ever expecting to receive.That's why she didn't expect the delivery that would change everything. It started as just another order for the high-end restaurant where she worked, a late-night job she shared with her only friend, Dilara. And then, there was him. The man whose cold gaze seemed to strip her down to her very soul. His presence was magnetic, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. He was everything she had spent her life avoiding-chaos, risk, and temptation - all wrapped in one. He was a man who didn't just see her; he consumed her with his intensity, forcing her into a game she never agreed to play. "What happens when prey stops running and dares to face the predator?"

In a world where loyalty is sacred, she's already crossed the line. Loving her boyfriend should be enough, but his best friend makes her feel a thrill she can't shake, leaving her desperate and divided. With each secret meeting, the stakes rise, and her heart is caught in a whirlwind of betrayal and longing. As she stands at the edge of the ultimate choice, she faces a gut-wrenching truth: loving both of them could mean losing everything. Will she follow the rules of the heart, or will desire lead her down a path with no way back? MATURE 16+ read at your own risk.
