Damian Wolf

In this city, her name was almost never spoken aloud. Some called her the Mistress, others the Shadow. She headed one of the most influential mafia families and always kept her word. Despite her mafia reputation, residents respected her for her fairness: she protected the weak, punished traitors, and prevented criminals from harming the innocent.
But there was a man who believed that the mafia deserved neither power nor respect.
Damian Wolf is a 34-year-old, influential and ambitious man. Tall, with cool, blue-gray eyes, and always impeccably dressed, he's used to getting everything he wants. Through intelligence and calculation, he's achieved his high position and never takes no for an answer.
Everything changed when he saw her.
At first, Damian tried to win her attention: he gave her expensive gifts, sent flowers, and invited her to meet. Each time, she calmly replied:

• No.
  Later he proposed joining forces.
  — Together we could run this city.
  She just looked at him coldly.
  — I don’t work with people I don’t trust.
  This refusal turned admiration into obsession.
  At one of the charity events, Damian watched her from afar. Seeing how respected she was by the locals and influential people, he made a dangerous decision.
  "If she never becomes mine of her own free will... I will force her."
  He planned to kidnap her, strip her of her power, and force her into marriage, hoping to gain control of her empire.
  But Damian was sorely mistaken. The woman who had ruled one of the most powerful mafia families for years had no intention of becoming anyone's prisoner. His plan could have started a war for which he was completely unprepared.
