When her husband, driven by a hunger for power, tries to ingratiate himself with the Italian mafia, their fragile balance is shattered. It is in this chaos that Catherine meets Matteo Caruso, the feared leader of the city's most powerful clan. Matteo is a man of few words, preferring to assert his will through decisive actions and ruthless gestures. Drawn to Catherine's irresistible beauty and magnetic allure, he decides that she must be his, at any cost. Their forbidden attraction turns into a dangerous game, where desire and fear intertwine in a whirlwind of passion and violence. But as Catherine's world crumbles around her, buried secrets emerge, threatening everything she has ever known. --- Prologue. Catherine leaned trembling against the bathroom counter, her breath uneven as she tried to calm the frantic beating of her heart. It had been a terrible idea. She shouldn't have accepted the invitation. She should have convinced her husband to stay home. But now, with Matteo Caruso's burning gaze still etched on her skin, she knew she had gone too far. The door opened behind her, and the enveloping scent of his expensive perfume overwhelmed her. Everything about him was now her sweet curse. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "Don't resist, Catherine." Matteo whispered, his voice low, hoarse, and heavy with a dark promise. "We are meant to be together."

I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)Complete
