Toni has never had it easy. Living just above the poverty line, she scrapes by with the support of her work friends, their kindness a rare luxury in a world that rarely offers much. Once a month, they treat her, gifting her moments of care: hair, nails, a massage, small gestures that remind her she is not alone. They are her family, the kind she chose.
But when she finds her lost brother, the one who disappeared after his last tour of duty, the one she feared dead, everything changes.
Because of Axel, they must fight for their lives.
Three years pass. Toni leaves behind everything, only returning when her brother needs her most. Axel, always waiting, tries once more for a relationship. She almost considers it. Almost. Until she walks into that club and sees him kissing a club whore he barely knows. That moment destroyed whatever fragile trust remained.
This time, it's not just Toni who turns her back on him. His men, tired of his recklessness, follow her to Italy. Loyalty is earned, and Axel has lost theirs.
Years later, he resurfaces, more ruthless than before, getting his son to seize control closest friends. But Axel has underestimated her.
She doesn't just fight; she dismantles him piece by piece, once again proving that she is the best.
Then she learns his son has been drawn into Axel's schemes. And Toni makes her final move, not just to take Axel down but to save the boy caught in his father's grasp.
This time, she won't stop until Axel is finished. For good.
