Ariella Rossi was born into silence. Controlled by her father's violence and fear, she's spent her life learning how to stay small-how not to speak, not to feel, not to fight back. So when he trades her away like property to the infamous Angelo Moretti-mafia don, killer, king of cruelty-she doesn't scream. She just obeys. But inside the mansion where she's forbidden to leave, the silence begins to shift. Angelo is everything she feared-sharp-tongued, cold, terrifying. But he's also the first person who doesn't lay a hand on her. The first man who listens when she whispers. The first to hold her when she breaks. And she does break-over and over again, until the girl who entered his world as a pawn starts to change. Starts to feel. Starts to crave. Angelo never wanted a wife. Especially not one like her. Too soft. Too young. Too easy to hurt. But the more she pulls away, the more he's drawn to the quiet girl who flinches when he raises his voice and still finds the strength to look him in the eye. And when someone threatens what's his, he'll bury the whole world in blood to protect her. Because love was never the plan. But neither was needing her to breathe.

I love you, Aria. You look so pretty in pink. Stop ignoring me, princess. Playing hard to get, I see. I hate it when you braid your hair. Stop biting your lips you'll hurt yourself. The messages flash one after another on my screen, each one making my chest tighten and my hands tremble. My phone buzzes again, the vibration rattling against the nightstand like it's mocking me. I can't bear to read another word. I throw it onto the bed and bury my face in the pillow, my tears soaking through the fabric before I can stop them. I want it to stop. I want them to stop. It's been like this for months an endless stream of messages that swing between sweet and suffocating, between playful and threatening. And every day, I feel the invisible noose tightening. I'm scared. I'm so scared. I can't tell my dad. He already has enough to deal with especially with no heir to take over his business yet. I can't be another problem on his plate. But the truth is, I'm drowning. The worst part? I have no idea who it is. No face to match the words that haunt me. No name to put to the shadow that's watching me. But I know one thing for sure... He is not going to stop. And I can't handle living like this anymore...
