Synopsis

In a world ruled by power, fear, and blood, Dante Ricci is nothing short of a walking demon. A powerful mafia boss, he commands respect through sheer brutality, feared by his enemies and even those closest to him. Dante despises weakness, ruthlessly crushing anyone who dares to oppose him or show vulnerability. Cold-hearted, dominant, and cruel, he lives by the law of the underworld—survival of the fittest. On the other side of the city lives Elena Carter, a cheerful and innocent college student. Adopted by parents who despise her, she has always felt out of place in a world that offers her little love. Unbeknownst to her, her real parents were killed years ago, but she knows nothing of the dark secrets that shroud her past. She’s focused on her studies, trying to live a normal life despite her broken family. Fate takes a dark turn when Elena accidentally witnesses Dante in the middle of a brutal murder, crime no innocent eyes should have seen. Dante, always careful to eliminate any loose ends, has no choice but to kidnap her. She’s nothing more than a liability, a weakling in his eyes, and his first instinct is to kill her. As secrets unravel and tension mounts, Dante must confront the demons of his past while Elena fights to survive in a world she never belonged to. Will Dante’s hatred and heartlessness lead him to kill her, or will the unexpected connection between them change their lives forever?

1- A World Divided

I could feel their eyes on me, even as I crossed the courtyard, pretending I didn’t notice the whispers. It wasn’t anything new. I was used to it—the stares, the occasional shove, the hushed comments that followed me like a shadow. Being an outsider in my own home had become second nature, but it still stung, no matter how much I tried to ignore it.“Hey, freak,” a voice called from behind, sharp and familiar. I froze, gripping my books a little tighter, but didn’t turn around. Not today. Not again.“You deaf, Carter?” That voice. Brady Thompson. Of course it was him. I forced myself to keep walking, each step heavier than the last.“Hey!” His hand clamped onto my shoulder, and I winced, my heart hammering against my ribs. He spun me around, the hard edge of his smirk slicing through the crowd that had started to gather.“Didn’t you hear me, or are you too stupid to know when someone’s talking to you?”I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze, even though my knees felt like they’d buckle an...

2- The Price of Silence
The car’s silence was suffocating, broken only by the faint hum of the engine as we sped down the road. My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that I was sure they could hear it. I had never been so aware of my own breathing—shallow, uneven, as I tried to keep it under control. But every time I glanced at *him*, at Dante Ricci, my pulse spiked again.I wasn’t sure if it was fear or the cold, disinterested way he looked at me, like I wasn’t even worth the air I was breathing. His presence was suffocating, like a predator calmly watching its prey, waiting for the right moment to strike. My mind raced for answers, anything that could get me out of this situation. But I had nothing. No plan, no escape. Just the terror that was freezing my limbs in place.“Where are you taking me?” My voice barely came out, trembling and fragile.Dante’s eyes flickered toward me for a brief second before shifting back to the window. His jaw clenched, but he said nothing.“I—I didn’t see anything,” I presse

3- The Price of Silence
“I—” I swallowed hard, my voice barely more than a whisper. “I don’t know how to be strong in your world. But I can learn.”Dante stared at me, his expression unreadable. For a moment, there was nothing but silence between us, heavy and suffocating. Then, slowly, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.“We’ll see.”The smirk that curled on Dante’s lips made my stomach twist. It wasn’t the kind of smile that promised safety or reassurance. It was a challenge. A cold, merciless dare that sent shivers down my spine. Every part of me screamed to run, to escape, but there was nowhere to go. I was trapped in this dark, unfamiliar world, and now my life hung on his judgment.“We’ll see?” I repeated, my voice trembling. “What does that mean?”“It means,” Dante said, his tone casual, almost bored, “that I’m giving you a chance. You’re weak now, but you want to prove me wrong? Then do it. Show me you have some worth.”I swallowed hard. “How?”He stepped closer, his tall frame casting a shadow

4- A Prison of Gold
I stood frozen in the doorway of the grand entrance hall, staring at the opulence that surrounded me. The floors gleamed, polished to perfection, and the high ceilings arched above like the inside of a cathedral. Everything was immaculate, from the sweeping staircase to the ornate chandelier hanging overhead. It was beautiful, yes, but there was something unnerving about it—like a gilded cage, more prison than palace.The driver nudged me forward. “Move.”My legs, stiff and unwilling, finally obeyed, and I stepped inside. The cold marble beneath my feet sent a shiver up my spine. The grandeur of the place only amplified how out of place I felt. Everything was too clean, too pristine, like it hadn’t been touched in years. My fingers grazed the edge of the bannister as I walked, but I quickly pulled my hand back. I didn’t belong here. The driver walked ahead of me, his steps steady, a clear contrast to the hesitant shuffle of my own. I followed him down a hallway, long and lined with c

5- A Predator's World 
**Dante's POV**I closed the door behind me, the quiet click of the latch settling in the otherwise still house. Her scent lingered in the hallway, faint but undeniable—a mixture of fear and something softer, something that shouldn’t have piqued my interest, but it did. I clenched my fists, pushing the thought aside.I didn’t need this distraction. Not now.The girl—Elena. She wasn’t supposed to matter. She was an inconvenience. A problem that should have been handled the moment she saw too much. But instead of dealing with her, I let her live. Why?I stalked down the hallway, the sound of my footsteps echoing off the marble floors. My mind was racing, trying to grasp at a reason, an explanation that didn’t make me sound like I was losing control. I wasn’t. I *couldn’t* be. Control was everything. I’d built my entire life around that one principle—control over my men, control over my enemies, and most importantly, control over myself.So why did I hesitate when it came to her?When I

The Silence Between Us
Elena’s POVThe door creaked open, and I tensed, sitting up straighter on the edge of the bed. My stomach had been gnawing at me for hours, and the scent of food from the tray sitting on the table still made my mouth water, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat. Every bite felt like I’d be giving in, like accepting what this place was.The girl from earlier—quiet and ghostlike—stepped into the room again, a new tray in her hands. She didn’t look at me. Just set the tray down on the table next to the one from before and turned to leave without a word.“Wait,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. She stopped, her hand on the door, but she didn’t turn around.I swallowed, my throat dry. “What is this place?” I didn’t know why I asked. Maybe it was the silence. Maybe I just needed to hear something that wasn’t my own thoughts spiraling out of control.The girl paused, but she didn’t answer. She slipped out, the door clicking shut behind her, leaving me with nothing but the distant hum of

7- The First Test
I didn’t sleep that night. I tried, lying there in the oversized bed with its heavy blankets, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face. Cold, calculating, watching me like I was just another problem to solve. The words he left me with echoed in my mind.“Tomorrow, you’ll see what it means to live in my world.”I didn’t know what that meant, but it filled me with dread. What did he expect me to do? Fight? Survive? I was just a college student. I wasn’t built for this—whatever *this* was. But that didn’t seem to matter to Dante. In his world, either you adapted or you died. He made that abundantly clear.When the first light of dawn slipped through the cracks of the heavy curtains, I finally gave up trying to sleep and sat up. My body felt stiff, my muscles tight from the tension I carried all night. I rubbed my face with both hands, trying to shake off the exhaustion that clung to me.A soft knock on the door startled me, and I froze. The knock came again, more insistent this ti

8- My First Test
Dante moved in front of me, blocking my path. “You want to survive? Then face what’s inside. You have a weapon. Use it.”I blinked up at him, disbelief and terror washing over me. “You’re throwing me in there? I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do.”“Figure it out,” Dante said, his voice hard as steel. “This is your world now. No one’s going to hold your hand.”He stepped aside, motioning toward the open door. I stared at it, my whole body trembling, and for a moment, I considered running. Just bolting into the darkness, away from him, away from this nightmare. But where would I go? How far would I make it?I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the gun, and took a step toward the door. My legs felt like they would give out at any moment, but I forced them to keep moving.The growling grew louder as I stepped inside. My heart pounded in my ears, and I could fe
