chapter - 1 The cold king

The morning sun slowly rose over the shining skyline of Milan. The city was already alive with movement. Expensive cars rushed through busy streets, businessmen walked quickly into tall glass buildings, and cafés were filled with people starting their day.

Among those tall buildings stood one of the most powerful companies in the city — DeLuca Enterprises.

Inside the luxurious top floor office, Alessandro DeLuca stood near the large glass window. His sharp eyes looked down at the city below. At twenty-nine years old, Alessandro was already one of the most successful CEOs in Milan.

Tall, handsome, and always serious, he carried an aura of authority wherever he went. Employees respected him, business rivals feared him, and no one dared to question his decisions.

But very few people knew the truth about Alessandro DeLuca.

Behind the image of a successful CEO was a man connected to a powerful and dangerous mafia network that controlled many hidden operations in the city.

A soft knock interrupted his thoughts.

“Come in,” Alessandro said calmly.

The door opened and his assistant stepped inside nervously.

“Sir, the board members are waiting for the meeting.”

Alessandro nodded slightly. “I’ll be there in five minutes.”

The assistant quickly left the room.

Alessandro adjusted his suit and walked toward the door. His footsteps were confident and controlled. In business meetings, he was known for making decisions quickly and without emotion.

For Alessandro, business was not about feelings.

It was about power.

On the other side of the city, life looked completely different.

...----------------...

Luna Moretti rushed down the sidewalk, holding her bag and coffee at the same time.

“Oh no… I’m late again!” she muttered to herself.

Luna was a junior designer working at a small creative studio in Milan. Unlike the cold and serious businessmen of the city, Luna had a cheerful and playful personality.

She loved making jokes, drawing funny sketches, and making her coworkers laugh.

But waking up early every morning was not her talent.

As she hurried across the street, she accidentally bumped into someone.

“Oh! I’m so sorry!” Luna quickly said.

The man she bumped into looked annoyed but walked away without saying anything.

Luna sighed.

“Great… perfect start to the day,” she whispered sarcastically.

She finally reached her office building and entered the elevator just before the doors closed.

Inside the elevator, she tried to calm her breathing.

“Okay Luna,” she said quietly to herself. “New day, new chance to not get fired.”

Meanwhile, across the city, Alessandro finished his meeting and stepped into his black luxury car waiting outside his office building.

His driver started the engine.

“Where to, sir?” the driver asked.

Alessandro looked out the window as the city passed by.

“Take me to the warehouse,” he said coldly.

That place was not part of his CEO life.

It belonged to his other world.

A world of secrets, danger, and power.

And very soon, fate would bring Luna Moretti directly into that world — a world she never imagined being part of. 📖
