CHAPTER 1

Lena wakes up in the body of Isabella Romano, a young woman married to one of the most powerful and feared mafia bosses in Italy. She finds herself in an opulent mansion, surrounded by luxury, but also dark shadows. A quick glance at the reflection in the mirror shows a woman she doesn’t recognize—long, dark hair, pale skin, and piercing green eyes that were not hers in her previous life.

Confused and overwhelmed, Lena tries to piece together her new identity. She soon learns that Isabella’s life was complicated—unfulfilled, controlled, and isolated from the outside world. It’s clear that Isabella’s relationship with her husband, Vincenzo, is strained, and Lena is forced to assume the role of the wife of a man she knows little about.

Lena’s first real encounter with Vincenzo is far from romantic. The powerful mafia boss is cold, distant, and exudes an air of danger that is impossible to ignore. He isn’t the loving husband Lena imagined, but rather a man consumed by power, duty, and control.

The tension between them is palpable as Vincenzo demands her attention but remains emotionally distant, and his sharp demeanor leaves Lena feeling helpless. She must navigate her new reality, learning how to interact with the people around her, including his loyal henchmen, while keeping a low profile and figuring out how to survive.

Isabella’s family was always close to the mafia world, and her father had debts that Vincenzo had settled—debts that Isabella never fully understood. Lena realizes that her new life will not be easy, especially as she is drawn into the politics of the mafia world. Tensions rise when a rival family begins to make dangerous moves against the Romano family.

In this chapter, Lena is forced to accompany Vincenzo to a dangerous meeting with the rival family. As they drive into enemy territory, the air is thick with danger. This is the first time she sees Vincenzo’s ruthless side—calculating, emotionless, and quick to violence. However, Lena is oddly mesmerized by the raw power he wields, even as she fears for her life.

Lena begins to notice cracks in Vincenzo’s icy exterior. In moments of vulnerability, he shows glimpses of who he truly is. Late at night, when the weight of his responsibilities presses down on him, she finds him brooding in his study. When she offers him comfort, he is initially cold but later opens up slightly, revealing the weight of his family’s legacy and the burdens he carries as the head of the mafia.

This is the beginning of their connection—a slow burn that leaves both of them questioning their feelings. Is she truly beginning to fall for this man who has caused so much pain? And does he feel the same way, or is he only using her to maintain appearances?
