In the dark underbelly of the city, Isabella Moretti, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, held her head high as she navigated the treacherous world around her. Her captivating features, from her flowing ebony hair to her piercing green eyes, commanded both fear and desire from those who crossed her path.
It was within the smoky depths of the underground jazz club that Isabella's fate intertwined with that of Luca Giovanni, a mysterious figure renowned in the criminal underworld. His icy demeanor and unrivaled strength were matched only by his striking appearance, featuring a sharp jawline, steely blue eyes, and an intensity that smoldered with danger
But their love story was far from ordinary. Legends whispered of a lost treasure, a trove of gold said to be cursed. It was rumored that those who sought it would be haunted by apparitions, tormented by their own fears and desires. Countless individuals had attempted to find the treasure, only to be consumed by their own greed or driven to madness
Now, Isabella and Luca found themselves embarking on a perilous quest together. Their journey would take them through a labyrinth of deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances as they unraveled the truth behind the legend of the haunted golds
"In shadows deep
where legends sleep
We gather now, our souls to keep
With whispered words, the ritual starts
To find the treasure, in ancient hearts
Candles flicker, symbols align,
The path revealed, by design
Through darkness we tread, with hearts afire
Seeking the gold, our sole desire.
But beware the curse, that lies in wait
Greed and lust, they seal one's fate
In this quest, let wisdom guide
For true treasure lies, deep inside"
In a world where desire and danger danced hand in hand, Isabella Moretti and Luca Giovanni's romance would prove to be unlike anything they had ever known. As they delved deeper into the darkness, they would discover that the pursuit of treasure came at a cost they could never have anticipated

But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
