She was sold to pay a debt. He was born to rule an empire built on blood. Sofia Marina has spent years surviving a life she never chose. By day, she works in a quiet Manhattan bakery, pretending she is normal. By night, she serves drinks in a luxury gentlemen's club owned by the man who bought her freedom before she was old enough to understand what it meant. She belongs to a contract. To a debt. To silence. Until the night Alessandro Valenti walks in. Twenty-seven. Italian. Untouchable. The most powerful Don in Italy doesn't believe in fate. He believes in control. But when his eyes meet hers under violet lights and expensive lies, something shifts. Not desire. Not lust. Recognition. And Alessandro Valenti does not ignore what he wants. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. What begins as business turns into war. Because Sofia has a past that refuses to stay buried. A violent ex. A dangerous debt. And men who believe they own her. But they made one mistake. They let Valenti see her. This is not a fairytale. This is a dark empire colliding with a broken girl who refuses to stay broken. And when the Don decides something is his... He never lets it go.

I ran. I ran as fast as I could and entered the first shithole I could find. I was delirious and tired, but I was free. I walked in taking no notice of anyone or anything, threw myself into the corner booth and as soon as I made contact with the chair I knew i wouldn't be awake for very long. Unfortunately i woke up to a not so gentle shake on my arm. Barely opening my eyes, all I could see were the five towering bodies all watching my tired body take up the whole seat. I forced a "what" out of my dry mouth and sat up, only when I opened my eyes did I take into account my surroundings. God help me.

Crying of the small baby echoed as she woke up from her slumber and looked at the man who was ready to take her life. At that moment a miracle happened. Pearl like tears droplets tumbled down her cheeks before her azure eyes watched the black painting on his hand and she laughed like jingling bells. And just like that even the demon was enchanted.
