Giulio Parenti, who was deprived of his life by Yuri Petrov, was wounded in body and mind.
He meets Lee Ha-na, a dangerous woman who intentionally approaches him to save her younger brother, who is in danger due to his colleague's betrayal...
"Ciao."
The man tilted his head and stared at her. To be precise, he stared at the muzzle and the black eyes beyond it.
"If you come any closer... I will kill you."
"Coreano?"
"Si, come no."
The man put his hand in his pocket and slowly made eye contact with one knee on the floor.
He brought his forehead to the aimed gun and gently grabbed her wrist.
She struggled to raise the corners of her mouth and quietly recited the man's name.
"Julio Parenti."
Giulio Parenti's voice, who was staring at her lips with narrowed eyes, was as cold as ice.
"Ho aspettato. La mia morte." ("I waited. My death.")
The breath she had held in slowly released.
He's a devil with the face of an angel.
Or was it a monster?

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.

"I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick."
