She was ten. He was twelve. In a world where love was forbidden and cruelty was routine, they found each other in the dark.
The orphanage was a prison of shattered souls, but he made her smile again. With trembling hands and whispered hopes, they made a promise under the stars:
"When we grow up… we’ll marry. We’ll leave this place. Together."
But fate is cruel.
She was adopted with her baby sister—he was left behind. She begged,she cried, she promised she'd return.
She never did.
Ten years pass. She’s now the perfect daughter of a wealthy family. Quiet, obedient… broken. Her heart never let go of the boy she left behind. On the day of her arranged marriage—a wedding she never wanted—she’s kidnapped.
And the man behind the mask?
Him.
But he’s no longer a boy.
He’s a mafia king. Cold. Merciless. Dangerous. And he remembers everything.
"You never came back, Mia cara."
Now, love and vengeance intertwine in a storm of emotions as their paths collide once again.
Will she heal the boy he once was… or be destroyed by the man he’s become?
