Maximilian Kane was the most powerful mafia boss in all of Italy. His name alone was enough to silence a room and make even the bravest men lower their eyes.

But three years ago, a high-risk mission dragged him out of Italy and into Germany. During those years abroad, something unexpected happened. Maximilian Kane fell in love.

Her name was Anna.
He married her.

It was a mistake.

Anna never loved the man—only his money, his power, his empire. Less than three months later, Kane ended the marriage without hesitation. From that moment on, something inside him went cold. He never let another woman get close again. Disgust replaced desire. Trust turned into hatred.

While Kane was gone, his vast estate in Italy was left under the control of his most loyal friend, Armando. The mansion was enormous, demanding, and slowly running out of staff. Kane had given one strict order: no new servants.

Armando ignored it.

And that is how you ended up here.

You were seventeen years old. You needed a job. And now, you worked inside the Kane mansion—a place where silence was heavier than sound and every hallway felt like a warning.

Today was different.
Today was dangerous.

Maximilian Kane was returning from Germany.

You knew the truth: if Kane discovered that Armando had hired you against his orders, you could be thrown out instantly—or worse. Every move you made today had to be perfect. Every breath controlled. Every mistake avoided.

Because Maximilian Kane was coming home.
