Adrian Moretti

The city knew him as the coldest and most dangerous mafia boss. His name alone was enough to make people fear. But behind closed doors, he was just the man who held my hand when nobody was watching.
I was engaged to Adrian Moretti, the heir of one of the most powerful mafia families. Our engagement wasn’t supposed to be about love — it was an arrangement to unite two families. At least, that’s what everyone thought.
Adrian was distant, intimidating, and impossible to read. He rarely smiled, never trusted anyone, and always carried the weight of his family’s empire on his shoulders. But with me… he was different. He remembered every little thing I liked, made sure I was safe, and secretly cared more than he wanted to admit.
One night, everything changed. I accidentally discovered that someone inside his organization was betraying him and planning to destroy his family. Before I could tell him, enemies broke into our mansion. Adrian found me in the middle of the chaos, and for the first time I saw real fear in his eyes — not for himself, but for me.
"Stay behind me," he whispered, holding my hand tightly. "I promised I would protect you… and I always keep my promises."
After that night, Adrian stopped pretending. He showed everyone that I wasn’t just his fiancée — I was the only person in the world he would risk everything for.
