42 parts Complete In the dangerous world of the mafia, survival isn't just about strength-it's about trust. Serena, a young woman with a murky past, is rescued from the depths of a dark alley by the infamous head of the Vargas crime family, Don Emilio Vargas. Taken to their heavily guarded compound, she is thrust into a life she never asked for, training in combat and firearms, learning to defend herself in a world where weakness is a death sentence.
As she trains to become stronger, Vargas' son, Antonio, is assigned to help her acclimate to this violent new life. A skilled fighter and heir to the family throne, Antonio is cold, ruthless, and haunted by his own demons. But the more time he spends with Serena, the more he begins to see the cracks in his carefully built armor. Serena, on the other hand, is drawn to him-not just for his strength, but for the vulnerability she starts to see beneath the surface.
Despite their growing bond, both Antonio and Serena are faced with dangers that threaten not only their relationship but their lives. When the shadows of their pasts close in, and loyalties are tested, Antonio must confront his own darkness to protect the woman he's come to love. But in the world of the mafia, nothing is ever as it seems, and the line between protector and prey can blur in an instant.
