Inaaya had spent her life surviving through betrayal, through control, through a past that tried to break her at every step. Love was never something she trusted... until him. Adriano Machetti wasn't a man people loved. He was a man they feared. Powerful, ruthless, and dangerously calm, he ruled a world where emotions were weaknesses and attachments were liabilities.

And Adriano... he didn't just want her. He chose her. In a world filled with secrets, blood-stained pasts, and unspoken wars, their love wasn't simple it was consuming. Possessive. Unbreakable. He would burn the world for her. And she? She would walk through that fire just to stand beside him. Because this wasn't just love. This was obsession. This was devotion. This was two broken souls finding a home in each other... against all odds. Started: 23/feb/24. End:

My breath hitched. His eyes-sharp, cold, merciless-scanned me like I was a puzzle that didn't fit. "You don't even know how to wear a bra?" he asked, his voice low, incredulous, and almost cruel. I didn't know what to say. I slowly nodded my head-no-because... I really didn't. No one ever taught me. No one cared to. I was standing there, shivering slightly, my fingers trembling, curling into the soft shawl I used to hide myself. His gaze was burning, stripping me down to my bare soul, and I couldn't meet his eyes.
