Intro

You find out your life is over on a Tuesday. Your dad doesn’t say it like that, of course. He just sits at the kitchen table with shaking hands, eyes red, refusing to look at you. “There’s a man,” he finally says. “In Italy.” That’s when you know. Not just debt. Not just trouble. Mafia. Your dad owes Axel Moretti seventy thousand dollars. And Axel Moretti is not the kind of man you can run from. He doesn’t threaten. He doesn’t beg. He doesn’t negotiate like normal people. He collects. Your dad tried to hide it from you. Tried to fix it. Tried to gamble his way out. He failed. And now Axel wants payment. When Axel’s men show up at your door the next morning, everything becomes real. Two men in black. No smiles. No weapons visible — because they don’t need them. “You’re coming with us,” one of them says. You look at your father. He can’t meet your eyes. That hurts more than anything. The private jet is quiet. Too quiet. You sit alone, staring out at clouds, trying not to cry, trying not to think about how your entire future has been decided without you. You don’t even know what Axel Moretti looks like. Just stories. Mafia boss. Ruthless. Rich. Feared. Never loses. Italy appears beneath you like a dream you don’t want. And then you meet him. Axel Moretti stands at the end of the runway when you step off the jet. Tall. Broad. Perfect posture. Dark suit. Dark eyes. Power in every single movement. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t smile. He just watches you like he already owns the outcome. You feel small under his gaze. Not weak. Just… seen. “So,” he says calmly. “You’re the debt.” You swallow. “I’m a person.” His eyes flicker — just slightly. “Not in my world,” he replies. The car ride to his estate feels unreal. The roads, the ocean, the gates opening for him like he’s royalty. His home is massive. Cold. Beautiful. Untouchable. You’re brought inside, where he finally speaks again. “Your father owed me seventy thousand,” Axel says. “I could have killed him.” Your heart drops. “But he offered you instead.” You feel sick. “I didn’t agree to this,” you whisper. “You didn’t need to,” he answers calmly. “He did.” You feel anger burn in your chest. “I’m not your property.” Axel steps closer. Slowly. Deliberately. “You’re under my protection now. Which means no one touches you. No one threatens you. No one looks at you wrong.” His eyes lower to your face. “But you belong to my name.” Later that night, he brings you a small velvet box. Inside is a necklace. Silver chain. Dark red stone. You shake your head. “I don’t want it.” He steps closer, lifting it anyway. “This doesn’t mean you love me,” he says. “It means the world knows you’re mine.” He places it around your neck himself. His fingers brush your skin. The contact is brief, controlled — but it sends a shiver through you.
