**Story Premise
Isabella "Isa" Moretti has spent her entire life under the cruel thumb of her abusive stepfather, Antonio Moretti. After years of torment, Isa believes her only path to survival is silence and submission. But when Antonio's mounting debts to the notorious mafia don Luca De Santis become too great to pay, he uses Isa as collateral, handing her over to the cold and ruthless crime boss.
Luca, a powerful and feared mafia leader, is used to controlling everything and everyone in his world. To him, Isa is another piece of property-a pawn in his empire. But the more time he spends around her, the more he becomes captivated by her quiet strength and fragile beauty. What begins as possessiveness soon grows into a dangerous obsession.
As Luca tries to dominate Isa's world, she begins to realize that while she may have traded one prison for another, she is stronger than she ever imagined. With her past trauma haunting her and Luca's possessive hold tightening, Isa struggles to reclaim her sense of self. Luca, who has never allowed himself to be vulnerable, is forced to confront the depth of his feelings for Isa as his control starts to crumble.
Meanwhile, Antonio schemes from the shadows, determined to get Isa back and exact revenge on Luca. With threats closing in from all sides, Isa and Luca must navigate a world of violence, betrayal, and emotional turmoil. Their relationship becomes a battle of power and survival, but it also holds the potential for redemption and healing.
In a world where control means survival and trust is a luxury, Isa must learn to reclaim her life, and Luca must decide whether he can let go of his obsession and let Isa in. Together, they must face not only the enemies at their door but also the darkness within themselves.
**"Shattered Vows"** is a story of power, possession, and ultimately love, where two broken souls find strength in each other-if they can survive long enough to heal.
"I can disappear too. You shouldn't have to deal with all this. I...I shouldn't be here. Who are we kidding? You are one of the most powerful people, and I'm...just mediocre. Tainted." He stalked towards me, and I held my breath, unsure of what he was going to do to me.
"You, Isabella," he said, touching my face gently and tenderly.
"Are everything to me. How can you not see it?" He asked me, almost pained by my request to leave him. He tilted my chin up and looked in my eyes, looking through them right to my very soul.
