To the world, Malek Volkov is a ruthless billionaire. A cold, commanding CEO with ice in his veins, a body carved from stone, and a reputation darker than the Russian winter. Behind closed doors, he leads the Volkov Bratva-a powerful mafia family with one goal: destroy the men who murdered his parents. But Malek is more than just the devil in a designer suit. He's a man with secrets-ones he's buried so deep, even he forgets they exist. One of them is a child. The other... is his heart. When Alina Petrova is forced into an arranged marriage with him, she expects cruelty, distance, maybe even control. But what she doesn't expect is silence. Eyes full of pain. Rooms filled with shadows. And a little boy with eyes that match Malek's. The deeper she's pulled into Malek's world, the more she begins to uncover the truth he's fought so hard to hide. But some secrets were never meant to be unearthed. And loving a man like Malek... might cost her everything.
