He was groomed into a life of crime; she was trying to hide from it. She sipped a steaming cup of mocha; he aimed the smoking barrel of a gun. ～·～·～ The city knows danger lurks, especially when his name is mentioned; a notorious mafioso with a reputation calculative in his brutality. His word is law, his decision precise. Little do they know, he has secrets that can kill. She'd never involve herself in the underworld again. Even if each day hurts, she left it behind to start anew. Her instincts are sharp, her defenses strong. But when a botched abduction forces her to confront her demons, she begins to realize the past never truly left. Especially when a man of smoke and mirrors offers her a proposal. One that's dangerous enough to tempt not only a war, but a craving for sweet, sinister darkness. With a detective hellbent on incarceration, and blackmailing moles hiding in plain sight, betrayal never comes from your enemies, and lies never stay buried. They say only the strongest survive. Blood is thicker than water; but in a mafiosi's world, a roll of the dice can leave even a Don choking on his own blood. ～·～·～ Content/trigger warning: depression, sexual content, violence, crude language. Read at your discretion, and enjoy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Updates are indefinite as I'm taking my absolute time with this. Thank you! Beautiful graphics made by my WP bestie @Xaprith ♡٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

Her silent rebellion leads her into a fleeting romance with a classmate, but when her father uncovers the affair, he enforces her loyalty with brutal consequences. Shattered by her lover's death, Alessandra attempts to flee her restrictive world, only to find that survival is more dangerous outside her family's control, especially in Chicago, where her last name holds weight. Amid her struggle for freedom, she crosses paths with Renzo Santoro in the most mysterious of ways. She saves him from an assassination attempt, risking everything her family has ever taught her, finding herself drawn to his dark charm. Renzo, equally captivated by the mysterious woman who saved him, senses she's hiding something-but not her true identity. He begins to crave her attention, showing up unannounced, wanting her. While Alessandra, discovering the power of defiance, finds herself entranced by the very man she was raised to fear. When he learns about her true identity, he's torn between rage and the undeniable pull he feels toward her. With love in play, forgiveness becomes easy, and his steps to protect what they share put their affair on a dangerous path.

He's unwilling to let her slip back to the very people he's set out to destroy. Their relationship evolves into a conflict of interest that soon gives way to darker meanings and emotions. But in a world where revenge and passion cannot coexist, their desire to make it work ignites a war that consumes them both.
