A dark, obsessive, second-chance mafia romance.
Be careful what you wish for—the past never stays buried.
They called me a villain first.
Then a murderer.
Finally, a boss.
All of it true.
I built my empire on control—on rules that don’t bend, decisions that don’t forgive mistakes. Violence wasn’t a flaw in my world. It was the structure.
Then I met her.
Chloe was the only woman I ever loved. Not because she softened me—but because she saw me, and stayed anyway. We had three years before she vanished. No note. No explanation.
I hunted. I obsessed. Tearing through rivals, certain someone had forced her to disappear—
because men like me don’t get abandoned. We get challenged. We get betrayed
I never found the truth.
I never found her.
Until the night she stepped into a club she didn’t know was mine. Onto a stage she didn’t know I owned. Running from a man she believed had forgotten her.
I hadn’t.
I watched her move to the music, unaware of who was watching—unaware of what it cost me to keep standing there. Years of discipline fractured as the glass split my palm, and I understood, with quiet certainty, that control was order, love was dangerous, and things were about to get messy.
