Evelyn "Evie" Moretti never wanted to be part of the mafia world. The daughter of a disgraced underboss, she’s spent her life dreaming of freedom—a life far away from the violence and betrayal that destroyed her family. But when her father’s debts to the powerful Romano crime family spiral out of control, Evie is forced to pay the price: an arranged marriage to Don Alessandro "Alessio" Romano, the ruthless and enigmatic head of the Romano family. Alessio is as cold as he is handsome, a man shrouded in darkness and driven by a thirst for revenge. From the moment Evie meets him, it’s clear that their marriage is no love story. It’s a transaction, a way to settle a debt and secure power. But as Evie is thrust into Alessio’s world of luxury, danger, and deceit, she begins to realize that there’s more to their union than meets the eye. Alessio harbours a deep hatred for her family, and his cruelty toward her is both calculated and personal. As Evie struggles to survive in her new life, she uncovers shocking secrets about her family’s past—and Alessio’s true motives for marrying her. Betrayed at every turn, she must navigate a treacherous web of lies, power struggles, and forbidden desires. But the more she learns, the more she questions who she can trust—and whether she can resist the dangerous pull of the man who holds her captive in every way. Bound by Blood and Betrayal is a dark, emotional mafia romance filled with twists, tension, and a love that burns as fiercely as it destroys. Can Evie find a way to escape Alessio’s grip, or will she lose herself in the shadows of his world?

Bound by love and betrayal The First Test
EvelynThe knock at my door came just after sunset. I'd been sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the untouched tray of food Maria had brought hours earlier. My stomach growled, but the thought of eating made me nauseous. How could I eat when my life had become a prison? The knock came again, sharper this time. I stood, smoothing my hands over my wrinkled dress, and opened the door. Alessio stood there, his expression unreadable. He was dressed in another perfectly tailored suit, this one a deep charcoal grey that made his dark eyes seem even more piercing. He didn't say anything at first; he just stared at me like he was trying to figure me out. "What do you want?" I asked, my voice steadier than I felt. "Come with me," he said, his tone leaving no room for an argument. I hesitated, my instincts screaming at me to refuse. But the memory of his threats that my father will suffer the consequences is rooted in place. I stepped into the hallway, closing the door behind me, and

AlessioI stood in the study, staring out the window as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the estate. The meeting with Evelyn had left me unsettled, though I'd never let it show. She was stronger than I'd anticipated-defiant, even in the face of my threats. It was... intriguing. But I couldn't afford to be intrigued. Not now. Not when so much was at stake. The door creaked open behind me, and I turned to see Marco Moretti stepping inside. He looked nervous, his hands trembling as he closed the door behind him. "You wanted to see me?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I nodded, gesturing for him to sit. He hesitated, then sank into the chair across from my desk, his eyes darting around the room like a cornered animal. "Your daughter is settling in," I said, my tone calm but firm. Marco flinched at the mention of Evelyn. "She's... she's a good girl," he stammered. "She doesn't deserve this." I leaned back in my chair, studying him. "And yet,

Evelyn Sofia's words lingered in my mind long after she left. "There are things you don't know about Alessio. Things that could get you killed."What had she meant? What was Alessio hiding? And why had she warned me? I wanted to chase after her, to demand answers, but I knew it wouldn't do any good. Sofia was as much a mystery as her brother, and I had no idea if I could trust her. I spent the rest of the night pacing the room, my mind racing with questions. Sleep was impossible. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alessio's cold, calculating gaze, and heard his voice echoing in my mind. *"Don't think about running. If you do, I'll make sure your father pays the price."* When the first rays of sunlight crept through the balcony doors, I was still awake, my body tense and my nerves frayed. A knock at the door made me jump, my heart pounding as I turned to face it. "Come in," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. The door opened, and a maid stepped inside, carrying a tray of food

Evelyn The car ride to Alessio's estate was silent. He sat beside me, his gaze fixed on the window as the city lights blurred past. I kept my hands clenched in my lap, my nails digging into my palms to keep myself grounded. The weight of his threat still hung in the air, suffocating me. "Don't think about running. If you do, I'll make sure your father pays the price." His words echoed in my mind, a constant reminder of the power he held over me. I wanted to hate him, to scream at him, to demand answers. But the fear in me paralysed me. The car pulled up to a massive iron gate, flanked by two armed guards. They nodded at Alessio as the gate creaked open, revealing a sprawling estate that looked more like a fortress than a home. The house was a monolith of stone and glass, lit by harsh floodlights that cast long shadows across the grounds. Alessio stepped out of the car and held the door open for me. I hesitated, my heart pounding as I stared up at the imposing structure. This w

EvelynThe church was too quiet. The kind of quiet that made your skin crawl, like the calm before a storm. I stood at the altar, my hands trembling as I clutched the bouquet of white roses. They were beautiful, but they felt heavy in my hands like they were made of stone instead of petals. I glanced around the empty pews, my stomach twisting into knots. There was no one here to witness this farce of a wedding. No friends. No family. Just me, the priest, and the man who was about to become my husband. Alessio stood beside me, his presence overwhelming. He was dressed in a black suit that fit him like it had been tailored by the devil himself. His expression was unreadable, his dark eyes fixed on the priest as if this were just another business transaction. And maybe it was. To him, this wasn't a wedding. It was a deal. A contract. And I was the price. The priest began the ceremony, his voice echoing through the empty church. I barely heard the words. My mind was racing, trying to m

Evelyn The sound of my father's voice echoed through the empty hallway, sharp and desperate. I paused outside his study, my hand hovering over the doorknob. I wasn't supposed to be here. He'd made that clear the last time I'd interrupted one of his "business meetings." But something about the way he was speaking, frantic, almost pleading-made me stay."I'll pay you back," he said, his voice trembling. "I just need more time."I pressed my ear to the door, my heart pounding. Who was he talking to? And why did he sound so afraid?"Time?" a cold, unfamiliar voice replied. "You've had enough time, Marco. The debt is due. And if you can't pay it, I'll take what's mine."I froze. The voice was calm, almost bored, but there was an edge to it that sent a shiver down my spine. I didn't need to see the man to know he was dangerous."Please," my father begged. "I'll do anything. Just don't-""Anything?" the man interrupted, his tone sharp. "Then you'll give me your daughter."My breath caught i
