At 23, Seraya's life was meant to be simple, until tragedy struck. Now, she's having to raise her younger sister on her own, barely scraping by. Her world takes a dark twist when she's thrown into the ruthless and unforgiving underworld of the mafia, compelled to serve under the watchful eye of a cold hearted and powerful don. Every day, she yearns for a way out, desperate for a savior, yet trapped under the mafia's iron grip. Just when hope seems lost, the mafia's head of security, a man feared by all, begins to question everything. His loyalty shifts, and in Seraya, he sees a chance for redemption. However, breaking the rules in this world could cost them both their lives. Can they escape the chains of the mafia, or will their fight for freedom come at a deadly price? 

After surviving the fire that claimed his family, Raffi owes his life to the mafia. Out of 30 years, the last decade was spent serving the ruthless mafia boss who saved him. With no solid memories of his past, Raffi has become a man shaped purely by violence and duty, living each day in a haze of routine. Stagnant and without purpose, he feels trapped in a life he never truly chose. That is, until a girl is thrust into his world-someone desperate and lonely, much like he felt. Torn between his loyalty to the mafia and a new, dangerous desire to protect her, Raffi must decide if he's willing to risk everything for a future he never thought possible.

𝓥𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓪 𝓡𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓸 and 𝓐𝔃𝓻𝓪𝓮𝓵 𝓔𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓼 have despised each other since the very first moment they set their sights on each other. Verena can't stand his posh British accent, devastatingly handsome face and the gentlemanly facade nearly everyone at their college seems to fall for. Behind the posh accent, handsome face and polite manners, something dark lurks beneath the surface. Verena knows about this darkness inside him because not only does he show his true colours around her, but the darkness that resides deep inside her soul rears its ugly head anytime he's within view. It's not until one night at a masked party on campus, where Verena finds herself in an unexpected situation that she likes more than she's willing to admit, that everything changes. When she finds out who the person behind the mask is that made all her darkest desires come true, she's furious and conflicted by all her emotions. Verena is left fighting her desires and her hatred. She isn't sure what is going to win in the end, she just knows that she'll make him pay. - ‼️this story will have a lot of grammar issues so if you can't handle that then please don't read it because hateful comments will be deleted ‼️ ⚠️ This book is dark compared to her innocence and therefore isn't for the faint of heart. I would suggest reading the trigger warnings in the introduction for anything that might cause you any harm⚠️
