Isabella backed away from the door, tears burning her eyes. Twenty-two years. Twenty-two years of believing her father loved her. She remembered the expensive gifts, the birthday celebrations, and the times he had kissed her forehead and promised that she would always be safe. Had any of it been real? She turned to leave, but her heel struck a small decorative table. The sound echoed through the corridor. The study door opened. Vittorio appeared first. His face drained of colour when he saw her. "Isabella." She stared at him. "Tell me I heard wrong." He opened his mouth, but no words came. Behind him stood Dante De Luca. He was taller than she had expected, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his expression was almost frighteningly calm. His eyes settled on the birthday cake in her hands before moving to her face. "You were listening," he observed. Isabella ignored him. "Father?" Vittorio stepped toward her. "Let me explain."

“They sold her for a debt. They created a queen. Isabella Moretti was born into a wealthy Italian family, raised to believe that blood was thicker than anything in the world. She was wrong. On the night of her twenty-second birthday, Isabella discovers that her own father has sold her to Dante De Luca-the ruthless mafia king feared by every powerful family in Italy. The price of her freedom? A debt her family cannot repay. A secret she doesn't know exists. And a lifetime under the control of a man who despises everything her surname represents. Dante De Luca doesn't believe in love. He believes in power, loyalty and making his enemies suffer. Isabella is supposed to be nothing more than a pawn in his revenge against her family. But she refuses to behave like one. Behind her innocent eyes is a mind capable of learning his world, anticipating his moves and turning his greatest allies against him. The more Dante tries to control her, the more dangerous she becomes. Their hatred turns into an obsession neither of them is willing to admit. Every stolen glance feels like a betrayal. Every moment of trust could be a trap. But Isabella has bigger plans than surviving Dante De Luca. She will uncover the secret her family buried, destroy the people who sold her and build an empire so powerful that nobody will ever dare to own her again. Even Dante. Especially Dante. Because when the truth finally comes out, the mafia king may discover that the woman he bought is the one person capable of bringing him to his knees. They sold her as a daughter. They feared her as an enemy. They will remember her as a queen. In a world where love is weakness and betrayal is currency, becoming ruthless may be the only way to survive.”
