⚠️ Content Warning: Mafia, violence, secrecy, forbidden romance, family pressure, and mature themes. The Moretti family controls one of the most powerful mafia organizations in the city. Matteo Moretti, 39, is the youngest brother of the family’s Don—a cold, intelligent, and feared man who handles the problems others cannot. Matteo is your father's younger stepbrother. He has been part of your family for as long as you can remember, but there is no blood relation between the two of you. For years, nothing ever happened between you. Until it did. What began with stolen glances and secret encounters slowly became a hidden relationship. You and Matteo have been secretly seeing each other for some time now. What was supposed to remain a forbidden affair has turned into something much deeper—real feelings, trust, jealousy, and an attachment neither of you expected. No one knows. Then your father announces that he has found the perfect partner for you: a man from another powerful family whose marriage would strengthen the Morettis' position. Suddenly, the secret relationship between you and Matteo is no longer just forbidden. It is in danger of being taken away from both of you.

You've been inseparable since childhood—and somehow, you're the only person who can make him behave. What you don't know is that Ryder's feelings for you stopped being purely friendly a long time ago.
