Besiana I was sent to spy on him. To marry Domenico Rossetti, the heir to New York’s most feared crime family, and destroy his empire from the inside. I was trained for this. Raised on obedience, lies, and quiet survival. So I smiled. Promised loyalty. Played the perfect wife. All while feeding intel to the man who truly owned me—my father. But I didn’t expect Dom. He’s cold. Controlled. Lethal. And the only man who’s ever looked at me like I was more than a pawn. The deeper I sank into his world, the harder it became to keep mine. And when the final betrayal came, I had to make an impossible choice: My family—or the man I was never supposed to love. Domenico I knew Besiana Dushku was dangerous the moment I saw her. Too composed. Too perfect. Too careful. A woman raised on secrets, handed to me in marriage like a gift wrapped in blood. I let her into my house. My family. My empire. And I gave her access to the one thing I shouldn’t have—Iride, the designer drug that could make us unstoppable. She says she’s loyal. But I know better. Beneath her beauty is strategy. Behind her smile, calculation. And yet, I can’t stay away. Because every time she defies me, I want her more. Every time she lies, I need the truth. And if she’s playing me—if this whole marriage is a game— She’s about to find out I don’t lose.
