“You kissed me like you meant it. Then you disappeared like I meant nothing.”
“I kissed you because I meant everything. That’s why I ran.”
I was raised behind bulletproof windows and diamond lies. A Mafia Princess. The spoiled daughter of New York’s most feared kingpin.
But when war ignited, my father didn't send his soldiers.
He sent him. Dante Valeri—the family's cold-blooded enforcer. A man forged in shadows. My protector. My nightmare. My obsession.
He hated my softness. I hated his control.
We should’ve killed each other.
Instead, we kissed so deeply and desperately—and he touched me like he didn’t care who was watching.
Until the night I found out he murdered my mother.
He vanished without a trace.
Left me shattered, betrayed, ruined.
Three years later, he returns—ruthless as ever, claiming he has proof my father orchestrated it all.
But I’m not that wide-eyed girl anymore.
I don’t need saving.
I want the truth, even if it kills us.

Kiss the assassin

*“Choose,Your lover… or your sister.”*
My breath sticks in my throat. Dante’s blood is still warm on my skin. Aria’s blood is still fresh on my hands. I can’t—
The screen blacks out.
Not paused. Killed.
Every light in the safehouse gutters, then dies. A heartbeat of total darkness...
