I married a dream. I ran from a nightmare.
Giovanni Dragoni was silk suits and slow kisses,
whispered promises and a wedding night that left me aching for more.
But the man I married wasn’t just the charming
Italian billionaire I thought he was.
He was born of blood and secrets, the crown prince of a criminal empire.
So I ran, leaving behind the ring, the lies… and the man whose touch
still scorches my skin in the dead of night.
Now I pour drinks in a sleepy Caribbean town.
He’s found me, he’s not letting go.
Giovanni walks into my bar like he owns the world, and me.
He’s come to take me home, he says. I’m still his wife.
I still belong to him.
And the worst part? My body remembers exactly how good it felt to be his.
But I didn’t run just for freedom. I ran to save myself.
So if he wants me back… he’s going to have to fight for more than my surrender.
He’s going to have to fight for my trust.
And maybe, for the first time, for my love.
