Lila, a compassionate physiotherapist with dreams of gaining job in one of the best hospital, leads a quiet, fulfilling life helping others heal. But one fateful night, everything changes when she saves a mysterious man from a near-fatal encounter. That man is Dante, a ruthless mafia leader with a dark past and dangerous enemies.

Unwittingly, Lila becomes entangled in his world, where danger lurks at every corner. Dante's enemies now see her as his weakness, and Dante, cold yet fiercely protective, refuses to let her out of his sight. Torn between her peaceful life and the growing tension with Dante, Lila must decide if she can walk away-or if her heart has already made the choice for her.

In a world where loyalty is deadly and love is a risk, Lila's life will never be the same.

plot: 

The morning sun streamed through the window, illuminating the small room where Lila had spent countless hours chasing her dreams. But today, the warmth felt distant, overshadowed by the weight of his presence.

 she couldn't shake the feeling that the walls were closing in, each stroke is a reminder of the life she yearned for-a life that now felt out of reach.

"Why do you always have to be so reckless?" came his cold voice, pulling her from her thoughts. She turned to face him, the man whom she had saved, yet now held captive by him in his own way.

In that moment, Lila realized that sunshine and shadow could never truly coexist without sacrifice.
