Bound by a code of power and loyalty, he has no room for emotions—until Bella’s fiery spirit and unwavering determination begin to chip away at his cold exterior.

But Bella’s past is riddled with secrets, and as she navigates the shadows of Lorenzo’s empire, she discovers that not everything is what it seems. A rival mafia leader, Gabriel Moretti, is hell-bent on taking over Lorenzo’s empire, and Bella becomes the key to his plot. With her life now at the mercy of two powerful men, Bella is caught between love, loyalty, and survival.
In the world of betrayal and bloodshed, can a debt born from desperation ignite a passion that could either save or destroy them both?
A Debt of Passion is a gripping tale of forbidden love, power, and redemption, where every choice comes with a deadly cost, and every heart is a battlefield.

Chapter: A Message in BloodThe estate had settled into an uneasy quiet by the time Isabella stepped outside. The tension from earlier still lingered in the air, a silent weight pressing against her chest. The events of the past days had hardened her—training with Luca and the others had pushed her past limits she hadn’t known she had. But something about tonight felt different. The cool night air was a welcome contrast to the suffocating walls inside, but her moment of calm didn’t last. Her gaze caught on something at the far end of the courtyard, just beyond the iron gates. A small, dark box sat there, placed purposefully—too obvious, too deliberate. A warning. A chill ran through her. “Luca!” she called, stepping back instinctively. Luca and Miguel were by her side in seconds, their hands on their weapons. Diego followed close behind, his sharp eyes already scanning the perimeter. Miguel crouched, examining the box carefully before flipping open the lid. The scent of iron hit them first—blood. I

Chapter: A Game of ControlThe ache in Isabella’s muscles was a cruel reminder of the training she had endured. Every movement sent jolts of pain through her limbs, but she refused to let it show. Weakness wasn’t an option—not in this house, not in Lorenzo’s world. As she walked through the halls of the Castillo estate, she noticed the way the men regarded her now. Some with quiet approval, others with suspicion. She wasn’t sure which was worse. Before, she had simply been Lorenzo’s unwilling guest, a woman trapped in a world she never asked to be part of. Now, she was something else—a wildcard. The low murmur of voices caught her attention as she passed by an open door. She slowed her steps, recognizing Miguel’s gravelly tone. “You really think she’s ready?” “Ready?” Luca scoffed. “She hesitated during training. That hesitation gets people killed. I don’t care if Lorenzo trusts her, but I’m not betting my life on it.” Isabella stepped into the doorway, arms crossed. “If you have something to say about me,

Chapter: No Room for WeaknessPain was the first thing Isabella felt when she woke up. It radiated through her limbs, a dull ache in her ribs, her shoulders, even the small cuts on her knuckles from where her fists had met flesh. The events of last night came rushing back—the ambush, the gunfire, the blood on her hands. The weight of what she had done settled over her like a suffocating blanket. She had killed a man. There had been no time to process it when it happened, no chance to think. Just survival. Now, in the cold light of morning, reality hit her like a punch to the gut. The knowledge that she had pulled the trigger, that someone had taken their last breath because of her, gnawed at her insides. But there was no space for weakness. Not here. Not in this world. A knock on her door pulled her from her thoughts. Before she could respond, the door opened, and Lorenzo stepped inside. He was dressed in his usual sharp suit, the very image of control and authority. His gaze swept over her, assessing, but ther

Chapter: No Way Out The air was still thick with gunpowder and tension when Isabella stepped out of the training room. Her hands were steady now, but the ghost of the trigger still lingered on her fingertips. She had passed their test. She had proven she wasn’t weak. But she wasn’t sure if she’d just gained their trust or lost a part of herself. Luca fell into step beside her as they walked back toward the main hall. “Didn’t think you had it in you, princesa,” he said, half impressed, half amused. “Gotta say, I was waiting for you to crack.” She kept her face blank. “Disappointed?” “Maybe a little. It’s always fun watching someone break.” She exhaled through her nose, refusing to react. Luca was trying to get under her skin. And after what she had just been through, she wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction. “Guess you’ll have to find entertainment elsewhere,” she said coolly. Diego smirked from behind them. “I don’t know. I think I like her better this way. Feisty.” She shot him a glare, b

Chapter: The AccusationThe grand dining hall had never felt this cold before. The long table, usually a place where Lorenzo and his men gathered with an air of casual arrogance, now felt more like a trial chamber. The dim chandelier overhead cast flickering shadows on the marble floors, amplifying the weight of the silence that stretched between them. Isabella stood at one end of the table, her posture tense but defiant, while Lorenzo sat at the other, his fingers lazily tracing the rim of a half-full glass of whiskey. Around them, his most trusted men lined the room like an audience waiting for a verdict. The tension in the room was thick enough to suffocate. She could sense it—the suspicion, the unspoken accusations lingering in the air like a noose tightening around her neck. “You’ve been awfully quiet, Isabella,” Lorenzo finally said, his tone deceptively calm. “Got nothing to say for yourself?” The accusation hung in the air like a loaded gun. She narrowed her eyes, her patience already worn thi

Chapter: Strength in Silence Isabella had been prepared to face the brutal realities of Lorenzo’s world, but nothing had prepared her for the harshness of the training that followed. After their conversation in the study, where Lorenzo laid bare the dangerous game they were now forced to play, she had reluctantly agreed to learn how to protect herself. For her brother’s sake, and for her own, she knew she had to become more than just a pawn in this world of power struggles and violence. Lorenzo didn’t waste time. The next morning, he led her to a secluded part of his estate, an old training ground hidden behind tall iron gates. There, several of his most trusted men were already waiting. Isabella tried not to show her nerves as she stepped into the clearing. They were all armed, their expressions unreadable, as if they had seen too much violence to be moved by anything now. Lorenzo’s voice cut through the silence. “Isabella, this is Luca, Miguel, and Diego,” he said, gesturing toward three of his most experien

Chapter: No way outThe scent of blood clung to the air. Thick. Unforgiving. Raven sat against the cold stone wall, her wrists raw from the silver shackles that had only been removed minutes ago. Her breathing was slow, steady—controlled. But her heart still pounded from the chaos that had unfolded. The chamber was eerily quiet now, except for the occasional crackle of the torches. The bodies had already been dragged away, leaving only the dark stains of their demise behind. Yet, the tension hadn’t lifted. Luca stood a few feet away, his presence as suffocating as ever. He was speaking in low tones with one of his wolves, his golden eyes flicking toward her every so often. She could tell he was angry. Not the playful, teasing irritation he usually threw her way, but something colder. Sharper. And it wasn’t just because of the attack. She had fought back. She had nearly gotten herself killed. And she wasn’t sorry for it. Her fingers curled into the tattered fabric of her shirt, feeling the dull

Chapter: A reckoning of blood Still shackled in silver, her body remained weak, but her mind was sharp. Every instinct screamed at her that whatever was out there wasn’t friendly. heavy silence filled the underground chamber, the weight of it pressing against Raven’s chest as she remained shackled to the iron post. Her wrists burned from the silver, and exhaustion clung to her like a second skin. But none of that mattered now. Something was coming. She had heard it—the unnatural stillness before the sound of movement beyond the cavern walls. It wasn’t Luca or his wolves. The air felt wrong, thick with something foreign. A low growl rumbled outside the chamber door. Raven’s heart pounded as her instincts screamed at her. Danger. The door burst open with a violent crash. Three figures stormed inside, their movements swift and deadly. They weren’t Luca’s wolves—she could tell instantly. Their scent was all wrong. Metallic, tainted with the unmistakable stench of blood magic. These wolves… they weren’t just he

Chapter: Shackles and shadows Pain pulsed through Raven’s limbs as she bolted down the dimly lit corridor. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and though she was fast, the wound on her side slowed her down. Still, she pushed forward, the cold stone beneath her bare feet an urgent reminder that this was her one shot. Freedom was just ahead. She darted past a torch flickering against the cavern walls, her pulse hammering in her ears. Somewhere behind her, the sound of boots scraping against the floor sent a surge of panic through her. She was following the smell of freedom.They were coming. Move. Her fingers grazed the edges of a wooden door at the tunnel’s end, but just as she shoved forward— A hand shot out, iron-strong, yanking her backward. She gasped, twisting violently, but her captor didn’t falter. Luca. His grip was like a vice as he spun her around and slammed her back against the cold stone wall. “I let you live, and this is how you repay me?” His voice was sharp, but beneath it was something else.

Chapter: The cage of shadows Darkness. That was the first thing Raven noticed when she woke. A thick, suffocating kind of darkness, pressing against her from all sides. Her head throbbed, her limbs ached, and when she tried to move, something cold and unyielding dug into her wrists. Metal. Her instincts kicked in before her thoughts could catch up. She yanked her arms, twisting her body, but the sharp clink of chains sent a jolt of panic through her. No. Panic would get her nowhere. She forced her breathing to steady, swallowing the lump rising in her throat. The air smelled damp, musty, with a faint metallic tang of blood lingering beneath the surface. It wasn’t hers— at least, not all of it. Memories flooded back in jagged flashes. The hunt. The pack surrounding her. The raw, burning energy that had surged through her veins. The way the wolves had looked at her— not like prey, but like something else. Something unnatural. And then— golden eyes. A shiver ran down her spine. Where am I? A faint glow f

Chapter: The huntThey will not stop hunting me. The thought burned through Raven’s mind as she sprinted through the dense forest, her bare feet bleeding against jagged roots and unforgiving stones. The night stretched endlessly around her, thick with mist and the scent of damp earth. The moon, her only companion, hung high in the sky—watching, waiting. She didn’t dare look back. Her lungs burned, her legs screamed for mercy, but she couldn’t stop,she kept running into the woods. The wolves behind her—her hunters—would not offer her mercy. Their snarls and heavy footfalls echoed in the darkness, growing louder, closer. She had been running for months. Tonight, she would not escape. A low growl rumbled through the trees, the sound sending a violent shiver down her spine. They were flanking her. Trapping her. She lunged over a fallen log, twisting midair to avoid colliding with a thorn-covered bush, but the moment her feet touched the ground again, she stumbled. Her ankle twisted painfully, and sh
