Elena thought she had left the past behind. Her only focus now is survival-working as a waitress in an exclusive underground nightclub to cover her son's mounting medical bills. But everything changes the night a group of drunk, violent men corner her. Before she can fight her way out, a shadow from her past emerges.
Damien Moretti.
Once the reckless love of her life, now a ruthless mafia boss feared across the city. His presence is like a storm-dark, powerful, and impossible to ignore. The boy she once loved is gone; in his place stands a man who bends the world to his will.
And tonight, he bends her. "You belong to me," he whispers, his voice edged with dark promise. "Always have. Always will. And I'll make you remember that."
Damien offers her a deal she can't refuse-become his mistress, and he'll erase her debts. He's arrogant, possessive, and dangerous, but he's also the only one who can save her son.
Torn between pride and a mother's desperate love, Elena is forced into a deadly game she never wanted to play. But she isn't the same naive girl who once loved Damien. And she isn't the only one after her freedom.
Nico Castellano-a charming businessman with a dangerous past. He offers Elena something Damien never could: a choice.
Lorenzo Valenti-a powerful rival who wants Elena for himself. He doesn't need to own her. He wants to set her free.
Between these three powerful men, Elena is trapped in a web of desire, deception, and deadly secrets.
But the biggest secret of all? Draco, her five-year-old son, is Damien's child. And when the truth comes out, Damien's obsession turns lethal. No one will take what belongs to him. Not even fate.
