Emily Black was never meant to be just another rich girl. After losing her family and discovering the dark truth about their past, her life changes forever. Instead of hiding, she chooses to fight. Thrown into the dangerous world of the mafia, Emily learns to survive, take control, and slowly build her own empire. She faces enemies, betrayal, heartbreak, and tough choices-but she doesn't stop. From a helpless girl to a fearless queen, this is her story of strength, revenge, and power. But as her enemies grow stronger and love becomes a risky game, one question remains: Can Emily stay on top or will her rise become her downfall?

Lily Malen was never meant to be seen. She was trained to obey without question. To smile on command. To lie still and survive the kind of hell that strips a girl of her name, her past, her voice. She was property. Invisible. Disposable. Until she ended up in his house. Adrian Rossetti lives in a world of cold steel and quieter sins-where power is currency, loyalty is bought in blood, and monsters wear silk ties. At twenty-two, he's already carved his name into the underworld with bone-deep precision. Emotionless. Untouchable. Absolute. Lily is a mistake. One the House should have buried. But Adrian sees her. And the moment he does, he doesn't want to let her go. Not to save her. To destroy her. To peel back the pretty, obedient layers and see what she looks like when she breaks. To ruin the untouched thing fate dropped in his lap just to see if she bleeds differently. But Lily is softer than anyone he's known. And somehow, softer is worse. Because she isn't just breaking beneath him-she's making him feel. And Adrian Rossetti does not feel. He punishes. He controls. He owns. And if he's not careful, Lily Malen might ruin him first.

I thought I had a normal life-or as normal as it could be with my father in prison and my mother nowhere to be found. School was my escape, my routine... until the day three men dragged me into a car and drove me straight to the doorstep of Cole Thariaco, a powerful and dangerously captivating mafia boss. He tells me I was never meant to be where I was. That the man I called my father wasn't my real dad at all-but a kidnapper who stole me as a child. A monster who turned my life into a lie. And now, Cole has taken me to protect me. But why? He's cold, ruthless, yet fiercely protective. His world is violent and full of secrets. And somehow, in his arms, I feel safer than I ever have before. I should hate him. I should run. But when he looks at me like I belong to him, when his touch sends shivers down my spine... I start to wonder if falling for the most dangerous man in the city is the biggest mistake of my life-or the only thing that can truly save me. Will I escape my past, or am I just walking into a new kind of danger-one that wears a suit and has piercing dark eyes?
