Editing at the moment 📖 Everest Marcello is a monster. As the Don of the American-Italian mafia, mercy is a weakness he buried a long time ago. He built his empire on silence, blood, and the understanding that love was a weakness to be exploited. He believed that completely, right up until the moment he didn't. He is the kind of man who makes room for softness in a world that was never built for it. Who would burn this city to ash and salt the earth before he lets a single person close enough to touch what is his. Ivy Saint James was never supposed to be his problem. She arrived in his world with bruises she didn't talk about and a way of flinching at raised voices that made him want to level the city. He should have left her where he found her. He didn't. Now she lives under his roof, in his space, wearing his clothes, and Everest is realizing something that terrifies him more than any enemy he has ever faced. He doesn't want to let her go. He wants to ruin every person who ever touched her. He wants to be the last thing she is ever afraid of. The problem is he might be exactly that.
