[5 CHAPTERS TO BE UPDATED ON NEW YEAR!]

In a world dominated by organized crime and ruthless power struggles, a tangled web of trauma, revenge, and forbidden passion unfolds.

Katya Volkov, the stunning but vulnerable daughter of the Russian Mafia's feared right-hand man, has endured a childhood of unrelenting brutality and neglect. 

Growing up, Katya was repeatedly tormented by her father's resentment, leaving her emotionally shattered and unloved.

However, Katya's life was about to take a much darker turn. Romeo Salvatore, a name that was both feared and respected, emerged from the shadows.

His traumatic past has left an indelible mark on his soul, rendering him cold and detached. 

Seeking retribution, Romeo launches a daring invasion of the Volkov's heavily guarded estate. He captures both Katya and her abusive father, subjecting them to merciless torture.

Convinced of Katya's complicity in her father's heinous crimes, Romeo executes her father and condemns Katya to a life of hellish slavery.

Yet, as time passes, the boundaries between captor and captive begin to blur. Katya and Romeo find themselves inexorably drawn into a forbidden bond, igniting a fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.

Torn between his thirst for revenge and his burgeoning desire for Katya, Romeo is forced to confront the darkness within himself, would he be consumed by lust, passion and possibly love or would he stay loyal with his beliefs.

"She's heartless, no... no, I didn't mean that," I stammered, the words tripping over each other in my haste to take them back.


My heart felt like it was going to burst. I looked up at Nonna, searching her face for the shadow of a scold, "I shouldn't have said that. She's your family now. She's... she's the one he chose. She's going to be the Donna. I'm sorry, Nonna. Please don't hate me. Please don't think I'm—"


I choked on the word. Ungrateful. Crazy. A murderer. I was terrified that by speaking the truth about Marina, I had finally severed the only thread of kindness I had left in this house. 


Nonna loved Romeo. Romeo was marrying Marina. In the twisted math of this world, that meant Marina was protected, and I was the blasphemer.


"I'm just a shadow," I whispered, my forehead dropping toward the floor. "Shadows don't have opinions. I didn't mean to call her that. She's just... she's doing what she thinks is right for her house."
