Luciano Moretti doesn't believe in mercy.
He built his empire with blood on his hands and a heart of stone, ruling the underworld with quiet brutality.
Nothing touched him , not pain, not fear, not love.
Until Sophia Carter walked into his world.
She was everything he wasn't.
Soft where he was steel.
Light where he was shadow.
And the moment her laughter reached him, it felt like a sin he wanted to commit again and again.
But Sophia didn't belong in his world, a world where love is leverage and weakness gets you killed.
Luciano tried to stay away. Tried to forget the way she made him feel alive.
He failed.
Now, she's his obsession.
His forbidden addiction.
And when enemies come for his sunshine, the devil inside him awakens ,ruthless, unrestrained, and ready to set the world on fire.
She may have softened the king,
but heaven help anyone who tries to take his light away.
