He Came for Revenge, Stayed for Love
When a dangerous mob boss requests the beautiful pastry chef, Emma thinks it's just a customer. But she soon discovers he holds a dark secret tied to her past, and falling for him could cost everything.
The crystal chandelier cast fractured light across the room.
Emma's tear slid down before she could hide it.
Dinner is not over. Tell me why you cried.
Three weeks earlier, she was nobody. A pastry chef. Struggling.
Then a dangerous man asked about her tiramisu.
This reminds me of my grandmother in Florence. Sit with me.
That night everything changed.
He returned the next night. And the next. Always requesting her.
He listened as if her thoughts mattered.
Expensive gifts appeared with her name on them.
Jewelry, clothes, a key to his apartment building.
Her restaurant shifts were eliminated without explanation.
You are too talented to work for others.
Her friends' calls went unanswered.
Charity galas, exclusive restaurants, his penthouse overlooking the lake.
Her old life simply dissolved into his world.
When she asked to visit her family, he refused.
Until I know they are protected, you stay where I can see you.
Then came the warning text from her only remaining friend.
Emma, you need to know who he really is. What he did to Michael.
Michael. Her ex-boyfriend. Who vanished three months ago.
Right before she met Allesio Moretti.
I see everything written to you.
Everything that is yours is mine to protect.
Michael was a thief. He stole from me. He offered you in exchange.
Everything she believed about this man was a lie.
I approached you because of him. Everything after was my choice.
He took her hand and led her to his waiting car.
Toward the warehouse. Toward the darkness. Toward the truth.
