Trust. Such a seemingly simple concept. Yet the complexities it holds are beyond comprehension. It is the cornerstone of relationships. The cornerstone of happiness.
Aletta Valente was always a solitary soul. Living in a seaside cottage with her great aunt, she was never completely part of the community she was forced to assimilate into. Ever since her parents disappeared, she couldn't bring herself to trust easily. But as she falls in love too quickly, unable to prevent the irrationality of her feelings from taking over, she becomes dangerously dependent on that elusive necessity of trust. When the truth about her parents unravel and her family's past is revealed, she starts to lost trust in herself.

The Caged Rose
For Lorenzo Valenti, power is everything. Feared, respected, and utterly merciless, he rules the underworld with an iron fist. When he married Seraphina Moretti, it was supposed to be a fairy tale-until he discovered a damning secret about her past. A betrayal that shattered every ounce of love he had for her. Consumed by rage, he exiles Seraphina to his Sicilian estate, a sprawling palace surrounded by cliffs and guarded like a fortress. He refuses to see her, refuses to listen. Instead, he assigns his most trusted enforcer-Matteo Ricci-to watch over her. But Matteo is no ordinary bodyguard. He doesn't just want to protect her-he wants to possess her. He's a man with no conscience, no moral lines. And he wants Seraphina-badly. Where Lorenzo's cold indifference cuts her deep, Matteo's twisted obsession suffocates her. He likes to remind her that her husband abandoned her, that she is nothing more than a caged bird with clipped wings. He taunts her, isolates her, makes her feel like she's drowning. But Seraphina doesn't break. She still loves Lorenzo. Even after everything. And Lorenzo? He tells himself he doesn't care. That he feels nothing when he hears about how Matteo lingers too close, how Seraphina still refuses to bow. But the moment he learns the truth- that he's been punishing the only woman who ever truly loved him- Oh. He snaps. Now, there's only one thing left for him to do: Burn the world to the ground to get his wife back. But the damage is done. Seraphina might still love him. But after everything, will she ever forgive him?

I don't care, brother or not, but if you come near her with that shit again, I will put you in the fucking ground." Damiano scoffed and turned his head away from Vincenzo's branding gaze in distaste.
