Vendetta And Roses
Five years ago, the DeLuca family was torn apart. Pedro DeLuca, a name that once commanded power and respect, was gunned down in front of his wife-a brutal execution that sent his family into exile. That night, they lost more than a father; they lost their home, their legacy, and the life they once knew. But now, they're back. Roberto DeLuca, the eldest, steps into the city with the weight of vengeance on his shoulders. Towering, cold, and ruthless, he is here to reclaim everything that was stolen. Matteo, the reckless one, hides his anger behind easy laughter and indulgence, but his loyalty is unquestionable. And Rosa-the youngest, the untouchable princess of the family-has spent years under their protection, suffocating under their watchful eyes. But she is no longer a child. And the fire inside her is beginning to burn. The city they left behind has changed, but so have they. Alliances will be tested, betrayals will surface, and the DeLucas will stop at nothing to take back what is rightfully theirs. Because some ghosts don't rest. And some families don't forgive.
