When **Isla Monroe**, a medical student facing hardships and carrying a sorrowful history, leaps into an icy lake to rescue a man from drowning, she remains unaware that she has put her life on the line for Lorenzo De Luca—Valmont City’s most notorious mafia leader. Lorenzo, weary of his harsh and unfeeling life, viewed death as his sole means of escape. However, Isla’s impulsive gesture of compassion brings him back, compelling him to face a reality he believed he could escape from. Upon waking in her small apartment, his initial response is distrust rather than thankfulness. He has spent too much time in the dark to trust in chance. However, Isla fears him not—and that renders her perilous. He vanishes silently, making Isla think their lives will never intersect again. However, two months later, Lorenzo bursts back into her life—not to express gratitude, but to take her. His foes have found out about the woman who rescued him, and now she’s in danger. Ensuring her safety requires bringing her into his perilous realm—regardless of her desires. As their lives intersect, Isla struggles to deny the man who views her as his opportunity for redemption, while Lorenzo is captivated by the only woman unafraid to confront him. As his foes surround him, they must choose—can love endure in a realm founded on brutality, or will Isla turn into the one thing Lorenzo is unable to safeguard? And as war breaks out in Valmont City, one question lingers: Did Isla redeem a shattered man… or ignite his most perilous nature?

I saved a mafia boss by accident Chapter 6: Unfinished Business
As Isla rushed along the sidewalk, her boots crunching on the snow-laden pavement, the morning air felt severe and unforgiving. Before her, each breath formed a delicate mist that dissipated into the chill. She pushed her hands further into her coat pockets, the icy wind seeping through the frayed material. She arrived late. Once more. Her thoughts were entangled with concerns—her approaching exams, the perpetual hospital shifts, the mounting debt burdening her. Rest was a luxury she couldn't obtain, and coffee had turned into her salvation. She was weary, fatigued, and hardly keeping it together. A persistent pain pulsed in her temple, yet she disregarded it, concentrating instead on the crosswalk in front of her. The light had just changed to red, providing her an opportunity to cross before traffic increased again. However, she didn’t notice the vehicle. Not before it was too late. The sound of a horn. The cry of tires on icy surface. Her head jerked up just as glaring headli

Gunpowder remained in the air, the damaged door hung crooked on its hinges, and an eerie calm fell after Lorenzo and his men had left, Isla's heart slamming against her ribs as she stood still. She was arguing with a stubborn, half-conscious man one minute, and then armed men rushed her small flat. It had all occurred so quickly. Now, like a ravenous monster, the truth tore at her thoughts. Lorenzo De Luca. The name carried weight. Power. Fear. Isla had heard it whispered in dark alleys, seen it printed in newspapers accompanied by bloodstained headlines. De Luca was not just a man—he was a ghost story wrapped in wealth and violence, a shadow stretching across Valmont City. He was untouchable. And she had not only saved him, but argued with him, accused him, and slapped him across the face. A cold shiver ran down her spine. She had saved a mafia boss. She staggered back, clutching the edge of her couch as her knees went weak. Had she just committed the greatest error of her life
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-25I saved a mafia boss by accident Chapter 4: Who Sent You?
Gunshots pierced the silence. The flat door slammed wide, sending splinters flying across the room as heavy boots thudded on the floor. I stopped breathing because my heart was pounding so loudly that I could hear it in my ears. A powerful arm reached out before I could respond, pushing me back. Lorenzo said, "Stay down," in a clear, quiet voice. I instinctively pushed myself against the couch and fell to the ground behind it. My body was screaming for me to go, but my senses told me that any quick movement could kill me. Shadows streamed in through the broken door, hazy forms moving in the low light. Lorenzo stiffened and grabbed the nearest object from the end table, a heavy glass ashtray.It was not substantial, yet the manner in which he grasped it, as if he could take a life with it, convinced me it was equally lethal as a firearm in his grip. A towering person advanced, holding his firearm up. "Stand back!" The tone was strong. Known. I looked over the side of the couch,
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-25I saved a mafia boss by accident Chapter 3: The Awakening
I woke up to hear someone's breath. Deep. Measured. Too intimate. My body contracted instinctively. Two decades of living, of living under threat, of never relaxing, had conditioned me to wake up to protect myself. But in trying to rise, a jagged shock of pain coursed through my ribs, keeping me in place. What? My eyes opened, and the world around me crystallized—a dark apartment, the smell of something faintly flowered, and heat that didn’t emanate from myself. Where am I? I pushed up on elbows, and jagged pains ran through my body in protest. The clothing on my body was unfamiliar: dry joggers, unfamiliar shirts—but I didn’t know where or how. The last thing I remembered, though, was the lake. The creak of ice beneath my weight. Darkness swallows me up. Someone had rescued me. And now, only a few feet ahead of them, tucked up in an armchair, asleep. A woman. She was small, but there was strength in the way she stood, even in sleep. Loosening dark hairs fell around her face

Leaning forward and placing trembling fingers against the dead man's chest, I blew frothy breaths into the darkness while the wind howled around me and bit through my soaked clothes. “Come on,” I urged, pushing harder. “Don’t do this to me.” One. Two. Three. But Still nothing. I tilted his head up, frozen fingers slipping against his skin while pushing in another breath. Thuds in my chest. The world, sounds, thoughts receded around me. Nothing but the man beneath and the nauseating stillness in his chest existed. “Breathe, damn it!” My throat hurt, dry and rough with desperation. “Please don’t die”. Then— A sharp, gagging breath. Water spewed forth from his lips as his body spasmed, gasping for breath like a man deprived of life. Relief struck me so forcefully my limbs weakened. He was alive. But we weren't safe yet. The ice creaked in protest under our weight, buckling beneath our load. I gritted my teeth and rushed, yanking him under his arms and hauling him towards shor

"Stop!" My voice broke the silence of the snow-blanketed park, yet the man did not stop. His dark figure remained at the lake's edge, staunch against the howling wind. Snow adhered to the thick wool of his coat, his shoulders somewhat slouched as if bearing an unseen burden. The ice under him creaked in objection, a haunting, cracking noise that sent a shiver down my back. He wasn’t merely standing there. He was anticipating. One cautious step ahead, measured and intentional. The noise of breaking ice reverberated across the night. “Hello! “Step away!” I called once more, my breath swirling in the icy atmosphere. My heart pounded in my chest, each instinct yelling that something was truly, genuinely amiss. However, he did not pivot. Didn’t recognize me. His stance—perfectly motionless, completely resolute—caused my stomach to churn. I was not familiar with him. I had no cause to be concerned. However, a profound, instinctive fear gripped my heart. "Please," I repeated, my voic
