"You shouldn't trust me, Ria..."
"You don't know when I could ruin you..."


It wasn't easy for the mafia boss, Leonardo Romano to reach the highly respected position of a Don; the sacrifices made were irreversible. Beneath the facade of his emotionless mask, hid a broken, vulnerable boy who was slowly losing the will to live.

With a stalker on the loose abducting young ballerinas and the power of her company slipping away, the ballet industry's star, Maria Amante, had no choice but to return to her childhood love, who she was separated from years before. 

Through a fake engagement, the two navigate through their childhood trauma, adverse experiences and most importantly, their dysfunctional relationship that had been destroyed in the past.

But with hidden secrets and unrevealed realities, there seems to be more than what they think they knew about each other, the world and themselves.

It greatly pissed him off that she'd survived and he avoided her, vowing not to have anything to do with one of his enemies's whores.
