She's an FBI agent, and he's the son of one of the most feared mafia families. Sent undercover to infiltrate his gang, Lexi Thompson never expected to be caught. What happens when the ruthless Alex Esposito holds her fate in his hands? Will their worlds collide, or will the truth tear them apart? — LEXI Every choice I’ve made has led me to this moment. Years of training, late nights pouring over files, and risking everything to bring men like Alex Esposito to justice. Caught in the dangerous world of the Esposito mafia, I’m determined to take them down but now I find myself tangled in a web of lies. I have a mission to complete, but as the days tick by, I’m losing sight of where my loyalty truly lies. As I face Alex Esposito, the ruthless heir, I can’t help but feel drawn to him. He’s everything I despise, yet something about him makes my heart race. Can I bring him down when every stolen glance feels like a betrayal of my heart? ALEX In my world, weakness gets you killed, and trust is a luxury we can’t afford. But then she came crashing into my life, a woman as dangerous as she is intoxicating. I’ve always been told to trust no one, especially not a woman like her. Lexi Thompson is a threat, an infiltrator sent to destroy my family. But the moment I laid eyes on her, everything changed. I’m torn between my duty to my family and the growing connection I feel for her.
View More~LEXI~ It had been days since I last heard from Alex, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. At first, I thought it was just my nerves—the tension from everything that had happened. But after a few days, I started to realize it wasn't just in my head. Everything felt off. Every time I moved, I felt someone paying close attention. Every phone call, every glance over my shoulder—everything made me uneasy. But nothing happened. No one said anything. The silence was the worst part. Agent Jack had been a constant presence. He seemed relieved to see me alive after the mess with Alex. I could tell he was worried, but his stiff exterior made it hard to know what he really thought. He kept asking if I was okay, if I needed time off, but I brushed him off. I couldn't tell him everything—not yet. I'd tried to let him in on what I was facing, but every time I opened my mouth, I hesitated. Alex's warning echoed in my mind: He's always watching. If Jack knew the truth, i
~LEXI~I should’ve known better than to think I could hide forever. Alex had known exactly who I was the moment he looked at me. The damn smirk on his face had said it all—he’d been playing me from the start. I should have known when he asked them to set me free that day without proper investigation. It wouldn’t have taken him too long to figure out I am in the FBI, after all he’s the Mafia’ heir for a reason. The ropes digging into my wrists were the least of my worries now. That wasn’t what made my heart race or the knot of panic tightening in my chest. No, it was the fact that my cover had been blown. He knew. And that meant everything I’d worked for—everything I’d sacrificed—could be falling apart right now.I forced myself to focus, breathing steady despite the tension crackling between us. If I showed even a hint of weakness, he would pounce. And I couldn’t let that happen. Not when everything was on the line.“Well, Agent Thompson,” Alex had said again, his voice smooth an
~ALEX ~The night air was crisp as I stepped out of the mansion, the sharp scent of rain clinging to the concrete. My instincts screamed at me—she was lying. I couldn’t prove it yet, but I could feel it. I called Rory to find every piece of information related to her. “ find out if her visit was truly accidental. I can’t afford to take chances” I told him. But most importantly, I was truly curious of who she is.I lit a cigarette, the flame flickering briefly before being swallowed by the dark. Taking a slow drag, I leaned against the hood of my car, replaying the encounter in my mind. Her wide blue eyes had betrayed a flicker of fear, but there was something else—defiance. Most people wilted under pressure, but she didn’t. She fought it, which made her dangerous and intriguing. The night stretched on as I waited in the penthouse, the silence heavy and oppressive. Rory hadn’t called yet, but I knew it was only a matter of time.A knock at the door broke my thoughts.“Boss
~ LEXI~Alessandro Esposito moved with the confidence of a man who knew he owned the room. He was tall, his tailored suit clinging to broad shoulders, every detail immaculate. His dark hair was neatly combed back, emphasizing the sharp angles of his jawline and the cold calculation in his piercing green eyes. Those eyes locked onto me, and I felt as though he could see right through the thin layer of lies I’d wrapped around myself.He didn’t speak at first, letting the silence stretch. The weight of his presence alone seemed to command respect—and fear. Finally, his gaze shifted to the man who had dragged me in.“Why is she here?” Alex’s voice was low, smooth, and dangerous. “Found her wandering near your father’s office,” the henchman replied, his grip on my arm tightening for emphasis. “Thought you’d want to—”Alex raised a hand, and the man immediately fell silent, releasing me as though burned. I stumbled slightly, regaining my balance, but Alex’s intense gaze pinned me in
~LEXI~“One wrong move, and I was dead.”The thought flashed through my mind as I stepped inside the Esposito mansion. The mansion glowed under the night sky, too perfect, too calm for the danger hidden inside. It felt like a trap, the kind of place where power and secrets mixed, and one mistake could cost me everything.I took a slow breath as a waiter passed by, offering me a champagne glass. I accepted it without thinking, my fingers tightening around the stem as I scanned the crowd. The long black dress I wore clung to my frame, elegant but simple, and the thin straps kept me from feeling too exposed. The soft silk brushed against my skin, giving me an oddly comforting sense of normalcy in the midst of the tension. Still, the dress was nothing compared to the diamonds and tailored suits surrounding me. I might’ve looked like I belonged, but I felt every inch like an outsider.The air was thick with tension. This wasn’t just any event—it was a gathering of the city’s most dange
