Isabella: Sold by my own father to Lorenzo Vitali-a man carved from violence and draped in cruelty. I became a prisoner in a gilded cage, bound by chains heavier than steel. He demands an heir. His touch burns, unravels, consumes. I should hate him. I should fear him. But it's not the demand that terrifies me. It's him. There's a darkness in Lorenzo-seductive, merciless, and impossible to escape. Every glance pulls me deeper into the abyss. Every stolen breath blurs the line between loathing and longing. And my heart, the traitor, begins to beat for the very man who holds it hostage. But men like Lorenzo don't just break women like me. They devour. They erase. And I refuse to be swallowed by his darkness. Lorenzo: The night they took Sienna from me; I swore vengeance and buried what remained of my heart. Nothing could ever break me again. Until Isabella Rossi fell into my hands-scarred, defiant, and hauntingly like Sienna. She was meant to be a pawn. A vessel for the heir that will secure my legacy. But her fire doesn't bend-it provokes. Her defiance fuels an obsession I never wanted. She thinks she can resist me. But in my world, resistance isn't survival. It's the spark that feeds the fire.
