Summary of Crave-in In the shadows of Rome's blood-soaked streets, Alessandro Moretti-the ruthless and untouchable 28-year-old mafia don-rules with iron precision. Feared as Il Fantasma for his ghost-like killings and cold mind, he is unbreakable, unloving, and unchallenged. Until he meets her. Elena Caruso, 25, is a beautiful but broken woman fleeing a haunting past. When she's accidentally caught in a mafia skirmish, Alessandro saves her life-or perhaps, claims it. What begins as a dangerous attraction turns into something deeper. Elena, soft and silent at first, begins to adapt, evolve, and eventually master the brutal world that surrounds her. But Elena's transformation threatens more than hearts-it threatens power. Enter Valeria Bianchi, a venomous beauty from a powerful mafia bloodline, once promised to Alessandro and obsessed with reclaiming what she believes is hers. Her hatred for Elena turns into obsession as she aligns herself with Dario Romano, Alessandro's oldest friend turned traitor, who will stop at nothing to take the empire-and Elena-for himself. As enemies close in and betrayals cut deep, Alessandro must choose between absolute control... and the woman who's become his only weakness. What none of them know is that Elena has secrets of her own-ones that will flip the power balance forever. In a world of blood, passion, and loyalty, love isn't the prize. It's the war. And when the dust settles, only one woman will stand beside the king.

Chapter 1 ll Fantasma(The Ghost)

The rain painted Rome in silver streaks as Alessandro Moretti stepped out of the black Maserati. He moved like a storm-silent, cold, and absolute. The leather of his gloves creaked slightly as he adjusted the cuff of his tailored coat. People didn't look at him directly. They never did.

"Target is inside," Marco said, his voice calm over the earpiece.

Alessandro didn't respond. He didn't need to. Two minutes later, a gunshot echoed from inside the stone building, muffled by a silencer. When he stepped back outside, there wasn't a drop of blood on his clothes, but the air was thick with finality.

ll Fantasma. The Ghost. That's what they called him in whispers.

His driver started the car, but before he could close the door, a scream split through the air. A black SUV had slammed into a café two blocks away. Flames licked the edges of the street. Alessandro's eyes locked on the chaos-but something else caught his attention.

A woman. She was crawling out of the debris, blood smeared on her forehead, eyes wide with shock. Not screaming. Not crying. Just crawling, dazed, toward nothing.

"Wait," Alessandro said. His driver froze.

He approached her slowly, cautiously. Civilians were screaming, running. Sirens echoed faintly in the distance. But all Alessandro saw was the woman.

She collapsed.

He crouched beside her. "Can you hear me?"

She blinked. Beautiful. Fragile. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came.

Alessandro looked to Marco, who had followed. "Bring her."

"What? Boss, we don't know who-"

"Now."

As he walked back to the car, Alessandro didn't understand why he was taking her. It was illogical. Dangerous. But something about her silence unnerved him more than bullets ever had.

Inside the car, the woman leaned against the seat, unconscious. Her pulse was steady. Her name, he would learn later, was Elena Caruso.

He didn't know it yet, but she was going to ruin everything.

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
