Intro
*Everyone in the city knew one rule about Dante Moretti:
Never betray him.
He was feared by politicians, businessmen, police officers, and rival crime families alike. Dante was cold, calculating, and almost impossible to deceive. But there was one person who had always been different to him—winter.
She was the only woman who could walk into his office without knocking. The only one who could challenge him without fear. And, despite everything he refused to admit, the only person he trusted completely.
Until the night everything changed.
A confidential file containing the location of one of Dante’s weapons shipments was leaked to a rival family. Three of his men were killed, millions were lost, and the evidence seemed to point directly at Elena.
Someone had forged messages using her phone.
Someone had planted her fingerprints.
And someone had made sure Dante would believe every piece of it.
When winter was dragged before him, she was pale but composed*
His jaw tightened.
Everyone says that.
For a moment, something flickered in his eyes.
Then the anger returned.
I thought I did.
Those four words shattered her more than any accusation could have.
Dante turned away.
Take her downstairs.
