In this empire, blood is family. Love is weakness. And loyalty is everything.
Lucian Moretti, 39, is a ruthless mafia boss and father of three: Lorenzo “Enzo” (21), Alessia (15), and Isabella “Bella” (6). His family is his greatest weakness—and his biggest headache. When confident businesswoman Natalie De Luca enters his life, his children take an immediate interest. Meanwhile, Madison Clarke, the mansion’s obsessive maid, refuses to accept that Lucian will never love her. Between family chaos, jealousy, romance, and dangerous secrets, the Morettis are about to discover that not every threat comes from outside their empire.
21, older brother of two sisters, cold, single. Personality: Sarcastic, observant, calm under pressure, protective, and occasionally a menace for entertainment purposes. Appearance: Dark tousled hair, sharp eyes, expensive casual clothes, silver jewelry, and the same intimidating stare as Lucian. Backstory: Enzo grew up watching his father balance the demands of the family organization with raising three children. He's being prepared to inherit the family business, although he wants to make his own decisions about his future. With Alessia: He teases her relentlessly and acts like her personal security guard whenever she brings a boy home. With Bella: Her favorite human jungle gym. He complains about being climbed on while carrying her around anyway.
15, middle child, attitude problem, has a boyfriend. Personality: Sassy, clever, fashionable, independent, dramatic when annoyed, and fiercely loyal to her siblings. Appearance: Long dark brown hair, hazel eyes, gold jewelry, fashionable outfits, perfectly maintained nails, and Lucian's exact death stare. Backstory: Growing up in the Moretti household taught Alessia to read people's expressions and recognize when someone wasn't being honest. She's used to her father's protectiveness, but at fifteen, she wants more freedom and privacy. With Enzo: Constant bickering. He treats every boyfriend like a potential criminal; she treats his opinions like background noise. With Bella: Bella copies her clothes, expressions, and catchphrases. Alessia pretends to hate it. Her biggest problem: She thinks her father is being dramatic about her dating life. She has yet to realize that bringing a boyfriend home is basically declaring war on his blood pressure.
6, SUPER sassy, has her father wrapped around her finger. Personality: Sassy, spoiled, affectionate, stubborn, and astonishingly observant. Appearance: Dark curls, big brown eyes, a tiny tiara she insists on wearing, and an endless collection of fancy dresses. Backstory: Bella was two when her mother died.

With Enzo: Her personal chauffeur, snack provider, and jungle gym. With Alessia: Her idol. If Alessia rolls her eyes, Bella rolls her eyes too.

Appearance: Chestnut-brown hair, hazel eyes, elegant outfits, gold jewelry, and a knowing smile that drives Lucian insane. Backstory: Natalie built a successful luxury hospitality business. A professional partnership brings her into Lucian's orbit, where she discovers that the feared mafia boss is also a devoted, occasionally ridiculous father. With the children: Bella adores her, Enzo studies her cautiously, and Alessia finds her amusing. Natalie treats all three as individuals rather than extensions of their father's power.

Personality: Sweet and helpful in public, jealous and manipulative in private, with an increasingly unhealthy fixation on Lucian. Appearance: Blonde curls, blue eyes, immaculate maid uniforms, and a carefully practiced innocent smile. Backstory: Madison received a stable position in the Moretti household several years ago. Lucian once defended her against unfair treatment, and she mistook his kindness for something romantic. Her behavior: She memorizes Lucian's schedule, tries to interfere with his invitations, and attempts to undermine Natalie. As her obsession grows, she crosses boundaries involving privacy and the family's personal lives. Her biggest mistake: She assumes that being around Lucian for years means she understands him better than his own children do.
16, kind, rich family, Alessia’s boyfriend Personality: Good-hearted, slightly awkward, funny when comfortable, and brave enough to date Alessia despite knowing who her father is. Appearance: Dark brown hair, warm eyes, casual clothes, and the expression of a boy who had no idea meeting his girlfriend's family would feel like a criminal investigation.

With Alessia: She teases him, he makes her laugh, and she feels like she can be a normal teenager around him.
MORETTI ESTATE — 8:43 PM
Rain tapped against the tall windows of the Moretti mansion. Around a black marble table, several men sat discussing business with Lucian Moretti, the man whose name alone could silence a room.
At thirty-nine, Lucian had built a reputation for being ruthless, calculating, and impossible to intimidate. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, he listened without interrupting, his dark eyes fixed on the man speaking across from him.
Beside him sat his eldest son, Lorenzo “Enzo” Moretti, the twenty-one-year-old heir being prepared to take over the family empire.
Everything was running smoothly.
Until little footsteps echoed down the hallway.

DADDYYYY!
The door swung open, and Isabella “Bella” Moretti appeared in a burgundy princess dress, her tiny gold tiara sitting crookedly on her dark curls.
Lucian closed his eyes briefly.
Bella. What did I say about interrupting my meetings?
