Five years ago, I faked my death to escape the mafia.
Today, they hand him the kill order…
With my name on it.
I’m living under a new identity with our son.
The child he doesn’t know exists.
Gabriel has his father’s eyes and my stubborn heart.
But when a Salvatore soldier spots me at the market, everything unravels.
Enzo Moretti.
The man who took my innocence in my family’s gazebo.
Who chose loyalty over love when I begged him to run.
Who mourned me for five years, never knowing I was alive.
Now he’s standing in his boss’s office, staring at an assassination contract.
My name bleeding through the paper like spilled wine.
“There a problem, Enzo?” Luca asks, watching him break.
But Enzo doesn’t know the half of it.
That I’m not just alive—I’m a mother.
That the child playing on the beach has his hands, his silence, his deadly focus.
That I helped his boss’s wife disappear, and they want me dead for it.
The hitman who never missed a target…
Who built his life on blood and obedience…
Who swore he’d never choose love over family…
Is about to discover that some betrayals run deeper than death.
And when he finds us?
When he sees what we made together?
The truth won’t just destroy him.
It will set the underworld on fire.
