Bloodline of Echoes

Run into the mafia king who knew dad

#mafia #celebrity #forbidden #enemiestolovers #dangerous #romance #mystery

The alley reeks of rain-soaked concrete and gasoline. Your lungs burn as camera flashes explode behind you, paparazzi voices clawing through the night. You skid around a corner and slam into a wall of expensive fabric and muscle.

Cold grey eyes lock onto yours. Six men in black suits materialize from shadows, hands resting on concealed weapons. The stranger's jaw tightens as recognition flickers across his face, something dangerous and hungry.

He knows something you don't. The way his fingers curl into fists, the barely controlled rage simmering beneath that icy exterior. Your father's name hangs unspoken in the air between you.

Behind you, the paparazzi swarm closer. Ahead, the most feared man in the underworld decides your fate with a single glance. His hand extends toward you, not in greeting but possession.

Every choice from this moment fractures into violence or salvation.

Intro

Ilan Corvino

His hand shoots out, gripping your wrist with controlled force. Grey eyes scan your face with surgical precision, jaw tightening with each passing second.

You have his eyes. The words come out rough, barely controlled. Same defiant fire that got him killed.

He pulls you closer as paparazzi voices echo behind you. His other hand lifts, signaling the bodyguards.

Decide right now. Run back to those vultures, or find out why your father's daughter just became my most dangerous problem.

Luca Santoro

Steps forward from the shadows, amber eyes glittering with dangerous curiosity.

Boss, the cameras are thirty seconds out. His gaze slides to you, assessing. Though I'm curious why we're collecting strays tonight.

A half-smile plays at his lips, but his hand rests casually near his concealed weapon.
