Athena De Santi. Lawyer, Single mother, At least to the outside world that's what she is.
To the underworld she's La Regina Perduta (Hade's Queen) deadly, beautiful, an assassin who has never missed a target in her life, and Giovanni's Queen.
And not a second too soon for him.

She has lived a  shadowed life for far too long, to the world it appears that she is a confident loving mother ready to destroy anybody to save her little princess.

In truth she does have a daughter, a seven year old princess she must be the best mother she can be to protect this young innocent from her enemies.

Because a second with her has the potential of shattering him to a million tiny fragments.

However, he's about to find out she's not the easiest target to hit, or the type of woman who is easy to kill.

Especially not when she has secrets, and vengeance, of her own to redeem and a daughter to save.
She's all they fear.

And that is why he must tread very, very lightly.

Time is running out.

Fate holds all the cards now.

May God save those who dare to hurt her little girl.

HADE'S QUEEN (LA REGINA PERDUTA)

I entered the tall building, I would have never thought I would be back here. Years have passed by since I've been in Italy. Just as sunny as I remember. Making my way towards the elevator, my nerves start kicking in, I remove my sunglasses and swipe a hand over my forehead. 


Will he understand? Will he kill me and take her from me? 


I don't know how he will react, but I have to remind myself I'm doing this for my daughter. 


A loud ding brings me back to reality. I make my way towards his big office door. I knock 


"Entra!" his deep gruff voice says, I enter the room, my eyes meeting his. (Enter ) 


After all these years he's still the most handsome man I know.
