Forged in Silence

He claimed her for power. He never expected to need her for redemption. Victor is the Bratva's most feared leader-ruthless, cold-blooded, and untouchable. Billionaire by force, killer by necessity, he doesn't believe in love... only loyalty, control, and silence. To seal a deadly alliance with the Italian mafia, he demands Railda-the daughter of a Ndrangheta boss, a brilliant hacker, and a woman thirteen years his junior.
One look was enough to awaken a dark obsession. He took her as part of a deal. He plans to keep her forever. But Railda is no pawn. Raised to be the perfect mafia wife, she's hiding a secret that could ignite a war between empires. One mistake, one hidden truth-and the fragile alliance begins to crack. He doesn't forgive betrayal. She wasn't prepared to love a monster. Now they're both trapped in a game of lies, power, and burning need.
In a world where silence is survival and love is a weakness, can obsession become salvation?
