Mafia Romance -The Race For Power

Prologue

Her father always told her that you never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice left. He believed that pain gives you strength. That's what he did throughout her childhood, trying to make her strong by breaking her.

She begged for his mercy but she never received any. She craved for his affection which she never got. She hoped for his love which was a crushed dream for her.

Noone ever saved her so she became her own guardian angel. Or more like demon..

Athena Galanis, The Donna of Italian Mafia

She wanted to be untouchable. She wanted the power that once made her feel the helpless kid. She needed control over everything around her. Everything but her heart.

Alonso Rodriguez, The Don of Spanish Mafia.

After the death of someome close to his heart, he closed himself for love. He dived himself in work to reduce the pain of her death. He felt bottling up his emotions would reduce the pain. He didn't want to give anyone power to break his heart and leave him again. He promised himself to not love again. He became the ruthless don that people feared. He craved for the power and fear he earned for himself. Failure wasn't something he was used to. He got everything he wanted. Everything until her...
