"It's all a haze, a blur, a flash... and then you awaken yourself. You don't remember anything but the unclear images in your peripheral vision as you're running from something you can't reach... or perhaps you're running from something that can't reach you. You have no recollection of coming to a halt, no memory of running out of breath or becoming too tired that your bones and muscles refuse to function anymore. You just keep running.." my voice cracks unattractively. "And then?" he questions, his uncomfortable stare boring into mine. "And then i wake up." For months, Alessiana Crivello is held behind the bars and stained windows of a place that has both been tremendously building her wisdom and treacherously breaking her down bit by bit to the burning core of her mental occupancy. She is certain that she has done nothing wrong to end up in such a cruel unstable sanitarium where she is held responsible for crimes and inconveniences she has not committed . This was the first week. As the quick and easy days seldom come by, Alessiana soon realized that there is more to herself she has yet to uncover, more to herself she that she was so certain she knew before. She begins to find that nothing is as it seems, that she can't trust anyone, not even her own flesh and blood. The realization that being in this brutal mental institute has ripped her of her humanity, torn down every layer she thought she knew of , not only herself but others too. She also knows that something is off.. Terribly off. and the closer gets to the truth, the closer she is of losing all control of herself in all forms, as well as others.

Alessia has never spoken a single word in her life. Stolen as a child by a ruthless gang, she grew up in captivity, taught to believe that pain was a lesson and obedience was survival. Forced to work as a servant, she endured years of mistreatment, never questioning the twisted reality forced upon her. Despite the cruelty, she remains kind, her innocence untainted-but dangerously unaware of the true depths of evil in the world. Until the night she escaped. Lost in the dark streets of Naples, she collided into Matteo De Luca, the cold and merciless head of the most powerful mafia family. Matteo is a man feared by all, a king in the underworld where blood and loyalty rule. He has no patience for weakness. No room for softness in his life. But when he sees the mute, trembling girl looking up at him with wide, trusting eyes, completely unaware of who he is, something inside him snaps. She doesn't fear him. She doesn't know he's a monster. And for the first time in his life, Matteo feels the dangerous urge to protect instead of destruction.
