21 bahagian Sedang Ditulis MatangThe past has a way of shaping us, leaving behind scars that either make us stronger or push us to the breaking point. For Arabella Morelli, her past has done both. At twenty, she carries a lifetime's worth of pain and resilience, marked by a childhood defined by betrayal and survival. Beneath her poised exterior lies a woman struggling to mend the fractured pieces of her soul-a past marred by violence, neglect, and the cruel hand of her father, who sees her as nothing more than a pawn in his twisted games.
Sold off by her father like property, Arabella's life takes another dark turn when she's forced into an arranged marriage to Xavier Rosso, Italy's most feared and respected mafia leader. Known for his ruthless ambition and unyielding control, Xavier is a man who demands obedience and loyalty above all. With a single look, he can command a room and bring his enemies to their knees. But taming the fiery, defiant Arabella may be his most challenging conquest yet.
As Arabella is pulled deeper into the dangerous world of the Rosso empire, her past haunts her at every turn, threatening to undo her and sever her spirit. Every scar and every wound left by her father's cruelty shadows her steps, pushing her to the edge as she battles the ghosts that refuse to let go. Yet, even as she resists, she finds herself drawn to Xavier-a man as relentless and damaged as she is. She's caught between fear and an undeniable pull toward the man who is both her captor and, perhaps, her unlikely savior.
In a world where trust is as rare as mercy, Arabella must decide if she can let her past destroy her or if she'll fight to find strength within the chaos, carving her own path in a life controlled by a ruthless man. And Xavier must decide if he can tame a soul as fierce as Arabella's without breaking it entirely. Their journey will be one of pain and passion, trust and betrayal, as two fractured souls collide, each one carrying the power to either heal or shatter the other forever.
