***UPDATED WEEKLY ON FRIDAY***

When Isabella realizes the new teacher at her boarding school is a fling from the summer, she thinks life can't get any more complicated. That is until she finds out she is pregnant and has to tell him. He is known to be associated with the mafia, and everyone is terrified of him. Still, she pushes forward, hoping to look past the darkness and make a future with him for their child.

Leo thinks she is causing drama when she first tells him about their child. Once he finds out she's carrying the heir to the Grande dynasty, he will do anything to protect them, even if that means losing everything for them.

Danger is never far away, and his dark past may destroy any chance of a happy future they have together.

**This is a dark story; there will be violence, steamy scenes, mentions of drug use, and more. You have been warned. Isabella is 18 in this story.**
