He was never meant to stay in the background. Seven years later, Leon Romano is no longer a shadow in the family business. He is fully involved, fully trusted, and exactly where he is meant to be as the underboss. With an engagement to Sofia Bellini that strengthens everything the Romano name stands for, his life is structured, controlled, and already decided. And Leon does not make mistakes. But not everything fits into a plan. And some things were never meant to. ⚠️ Warning: Mature themes and explicit language.

"Let me ruin you... slowly, completely." He is control. Precision. Power. A man who has never needed anything he couldn't take. Love is a myth. Desire is temporary. And people? Replaceable.
