BOUND BY BLOOD AND SILENCE
561 Views · Ongoing · Blessing Agbede
Alessia Moretti spent two years building a life no one could trace back to her father's empire. New name. New city. A future that finally felt like her own.
Then a stranger sits down beside her in a lecture hall and says five words that end all of it.
"You're using the wrong name."
He isn't there to drag her home. He's there for the notebook she stole the night she ran, the only thing her father would kill to bury and the only thing his own family needs to survive. What he doesn't expect is her. What she doesn't expect is him, or what he actually is.
Dario De Luca was raised to finish the job. He wasn't raised to fall for the girl his family promised him to before either of them had a say. The deeper he gets into why she ran, the less this feels like an assignment and the more it feels like the only thing he might be willing to destroy everything for.
Their families were enemies before either of them was born. A marriage neither of them chose is about to make them something else. And the small black notebook that started the war is about to end it, one way or another.
She was raised to survive that world. He was raised to run it. Together they might be the only two people alive who can burn down the lie both families were built on, if the people hunting them don't get there first.
