"You shouldn't be here." "Then why did you bring me?" she whispered. He paused, as if the question caught him off guard. Then, almost too softly, "Because I couldn't stop myself." Silence. Heavy. Charged. They stood there two storms colliding, both pretending not to be drawn to the lightning. She felt the pull again, stronger than ever. The sound of her own pulse filled her ears. "Niccolò..." "Alexandria," he murmured, her name sounding like both a warning and a promise. The distance between them vanished and they both knew something irreversible had begun. Niccolò DeMorano. Head of the DeMorano empire. The Don of the Italian and American Mafia His name opens doors and closes lives. A man carved from control, power, and ruthless precision. He doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't repeat pleasures. And yet, for the first time, he's tempted. To the public, he's a billionaire philanthropist, a man whose influence stretches across oceans from the ports of Bari, Italy, to the boardrooms of Manhattan. But beneath the marble walls and press smiles lies the truth: every empire he built was paid for in blood. He's not just a man. He's a legacy the dark heir to a family that built an empire on silence and sin. And tonight, for reasons he doesn't understand, he can't take his eyes off the woman who shouldn't be in his world. Alexandria Rossi. To everyone else just another maid in the Morano mansion. Quiet. Invisible. Replaceable. But invisibility is power, and she wears it like armor. Because at night, when the world sleeps, she becomes something else entirely Shadow. The hacker who lives in the dark corners of the internet. A phantom whispered about by governments, corporations, and the underworld alike. No one has seen her. No one has caught her. But everyone has felt her the invisible hand that topples networks, erases enemies, and steals the kind of secrets that destroy empires.

Ira Verma never imagined her new job would land her inside the cold, echoing walls of the Rathore estate-a mansion guarded by silence, secrets, and the brooding presence of the man she's been hired to care for. Devraj Singh Rathore, heir to one of the most powerful families in India, is feared by many and understood by none. Bound to a wheelchair after a brutal attack, he shows no emotion, no warmth... and certainly no interest in the woman tending to him. At least, that's what Ira believes. What she doesn't know is that behind his still gaze lies a storm-dark, obsessive, and dangerously fixated on her. He watches when she's not looking, collects pieces of her she never gave, and burns with jealousy every time his younger brother dares to flirt with her. But Ira has a life outside this mansion. A fiancé her family chose. A future she thought she wanted. Devraj is done pretending. And when obsession begins to crack through restraint, Ira must face a chilling truth: You can only run so far... when the one who craves you is already inside your world.

"Look at me" He demanded. I flinched at the tone he used but lifted my head to look at him. I stared at the wall behind him. I couldn't look at him. "Into my eyes" He added in the same tone. I took a deep breath and landed my gaze on him. I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips. He seemed happy but I could see his eyes watering, making his inky blue eye color appear lighter. "You never look at me" He whispered. I could hear a crack in his voice. "Before you I thought I was nothing-" He smiled bitterly, "-but when you look at me I feel like I'm worth something. Weird right?" My heart was beating loudly as he got closer. This is a spin off for Nate from 'Her Guardian'. It can be read as a stand alone but you can read the previous book if you want to get a better understanding of the story

"Don't touch me" He said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what I'll do if you touch me" My heart dropped. "I don't want to see you like this" I frowned and hesitantly tried to touch his shoulder, but he grabbed my hand tightly but gently. "Fuck it" He murmured as he held my jaw and pressed his lips on mine. (The guy is 22 and the girl is 17 a few months away from 18. If you're bothered by that please don't read it.)
