Y/N, a young and talented artist, lives a life of vivid colors and quiet solitude, her days spent lost in canvases and her nights dreaming of a world beyond her own. When she's approached by a wealthy businessman, Simon Riley, who offers to commission her work, she thinks it's a chance to push her art to new heights. Simon is charming yet mysterious, and while his generous patronage seems like a dream, his enigmatic aura feels like a storm looming on the horizon.

But Simon "Ghost" Riley is no mere businessman. Behind his tailored suits and polite demeanor lies one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city, ruling an empire built on secrecy, fear, and shadows. For years, he's kept his personal life and his underworld reign separate, trusting no one and needing no one. But meeting Y/N stirs something he thought long buried-feelings that could make him vulnerable in a world where weakness is fatal.

As Y/N delves deeper into her work for Simon, she begins to notice the cracks in his facade-the lingering looks, the hushed conversations, the shadows that follow him. Curiosity leads her to uncover the truth, placing her directly in the crossfire of his deadly world. Soon, she finds herself faced with an impossible choice: leave behind the life and love she's found with him or stay, risking everything for a man whose empire may crumble if his enemies discover the one person he truly cares for.

*In a world where trust is scarce and love is a dangerous game, will Y/N and Simon's connection be their salvation or their undoing?*All Rights Reserved

(a piece from chapter 1) I rub my eyes and groaned from being woken up "this is the second time this week" I said getting walking to the front door and opening it "this can't keep happening... It's 4am ugh" "Ross give the the fucking necklace!" A male voice shout and a bang "E-Excuse me!" I shouted knocking on the door shivering slightly from the brisk morning air The door opened to reveal a man with messy short curly reddish hair and a short beard "hm?" He said putting a golden Z necklace on "I-I just moved here. And I was trying to sleep and... Uhh you guys woke me up" I said nervously looking at him He sighed "well sorry for that we were just about to get to work when, some little shit took my necklace!"
