Giovanni Moretti is the son of the powerful Italian crime lord Riccardo Moretti. Raised in the shadows of his father's empire, Giovanni grew up traveling between Italy and Jamaica, but now he's had enough of the cold, calculated life in Italy. Seeking a break and something more, he heads to Jamaica to spend time with his father's ruthless, Jamaican don friend, Malik Black. While Malik has built a reputation for being a stone-cold operator, Giovanni is even worse-more dangerous, more strategic, and with a temperament that could outshine even the most feared men. During his stay, Giovanni's eyes fall on Alaya, a stunning, intelligent woman with her own ambitions. Alaya is fiercely focused on her studies, aiming to become a high school teacher. She has no time for distractions, least of all a man like Giovanni. Though she's independent and financially stable, Giovanni's presence along with his dark, magnetic energy begins to stir something in her, even if she won't admit it. As Giovanni navigates his time in Jamaica, the tension between him and Alaya grows, pulling them into a dangerous game of desire, power, and ambition.
Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her?
Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets?
Where was she for all those years?
This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night?
Sneak Peak-
Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident."
I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said,
"Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider.
Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to.
"You are going with us." He spoke.
One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers.
"Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time.
That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you."
