Leandro offers her sanctuary from the life she was born into, and he is in the same position. This relationship turns into something they did not expect. But in the mafia world, love is betrayal, and the cost of betrayal is always blood.

Isabella’s POV
I had always thought that if I stood still enough, smiled softly enough, obeyed perfectly enough, my life would somehow feel right. That if I folded my hands the way my mother had taught me, wore the crosses my father had given me, and said the right things to the right people, I'd be proud of the girl in the mirror.
But standing there, drowning in layers of imported lace and silk, I didn’t even recognize myself.
The mirror stared back at me, cruel and unforgiving. A bride. A daughter. A pawn.
My wedding dress was beautiful. Ivory white, with pearls sewn into the sleeves, the train long enough to drag half the cathedral with me. My hair was pinned back, my makeup was flawless, my nails painted a soft, obedient pink.
I hated it.
Not because I didn’t look beautiful. I did. I looked exactly how a D'Angelo daughter should look on her wedding day: perfect, polished, untouchable.
But inside, I felt like I was suffocating.
My hands trembled as I touched the bodice of the gown. It wasn’t a dress. It was a prison.
"You look stunning, cara," my mother whispered behind me, smoothing the veil over my shoulders. Her eyes glistened with pride. She didn’t see the way my chest tightened, the way my throat burned. I nodded through the reflection because that was what I was supposed to do. Smile because that was what good daughters did.
I thought about Elio Conti, waiting for me at the altar.
My fiancé since I was sixteen. Promised to him like a contract signed in blood. A deal meant to unite the Contis and the D'Angelos into one unstoppable force, to gain more power, more control. My father, Isaac D'Angelo, couldn’t have been prouder.
