They were best friends since they were twelve. Two broken kids from opposite worlds-her, the golden girl with bruises under designer sleeves; him, the violent boy from the wrong side of New Jersey with blood on his hands and loyalty carved into his spine. She promised she'd never leave him. He promised he'd never let her. But promises shatter under pressure. Years later, after secrets, heartbreak, and one brutal relationship nearly destroys her, Emilia Medina disappears the night of graduation. No one knows where she is. Except Luigi Benedetti. Because he took her. To save her. To keep her. To make her his. Now they're locked in a cabin deep in the woods with his baby sisters, a fake life, and the twisted remnants of their childhood pact: "Banana rule: No quitting. No leaving. Forever." What begins as captivity becomes something far more dangerous- A love built on trauma. A family forged in survival. And a boy who would burn the whole world to protect the only girl who ever looked at him like he wasn't a monster. Dark. Obsessive. Devastating. This is not your typical love story. This is what happens when your soulmate is the one who stole you.
