The Heart That Refused to Fall Prologue

The grand chandelier above them shimmered like stars trapped in glass. The mansion was silent except for the soft music echoing from a hidden speaker, slow and tender. Every corner of the room glowed gold, but nothing sparkled more than the way he looked at her.

He was leaning against the piano, sleeves rolled up, dark hair slightly messy like he had run his hand through it one too many times. His jawline was sharp, his eyes even sharper—but when they looked at her, behind her glasses and in that effortlessly modern dress, all that danger melted into something devastatingly soft. She stood at the bottom of the staircase, trying to speak

He was already walking towards her. Smooth,silent, unstoppable

Jace Romano

Then breath me

he said stopping inches from her, voice low and thick with emotions

Jace Romano

Don't you even get it? The moment you walked into my life.....I stopped being the mafia king . I became yours

She blinked and was caught off guard by the sudden intimacy in his voice ,in his eyes

Aira

You don't have to protect me from the world❄️❄️

Jace Romano

I'm not protecting you from my world

Jace Romano

I'm protecting my world from you.... Because one word from you ,and I would burn it down

The chandelier flickered above them as if responding to his fire

He took her hand and placed it on his chest.... Right over his heartbeat

Jace Romano

Tell me you feel it....tell me this doesn't terrify you as much as it terrifies me....because loving you is not safe... it's war

But her hand stayed there,steady And that was all he needed
