Two Devils. One girl.
Chapter 1
KIARA SHAH
Age: 20
Kiara Shah was the kind of girl who loved everyone even when nobody loved her back.
A Gujarati girl with soft features, pretty eyes, and a chubby body she spent years trying to change because the world never let her feel beautiful enough.
People always had something to say.
Too chubby.
Too emotional.
Too ordinary.
Relatives compared her to slimmer girls. Strangers judged her before knowing her. Even after trying countless diets, workout plans, and starving herself some nights, Kiara could never fully become the version people wanted her to be.
But despite everything—
she stayed kind.
She loved music more than silence because silence reminded her of every cruel comment she had ever heard.
She loved making reels late at night even when people laughed at her dreams.
She loved romance books and fictional men because they made her believe that somewhere out there existed a love that would choose her exactly as she was.
A love that wouldn’t ask her to change first.
At twenty years old, Kiara moved to Milan, Italy to start college and finally escape the life that constantly made her doubt herself.
For the first time in years, she wanted to become someone new.
What she didn’t know…
was that Milan was about to give her a love story darker and far more dangerous than the ones she read about.
DANTE MARINO
Age: 28
Dante Marino was the king of Milan’s underworld.
Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.
Men feared him. Women avoided him. Enemies disappeared when they crossed him.
Power followed Dante everywhere like blood beneath his skin.
Born into a mafia family, Dante lost his father at a young age after a brutal betrayal that changed him forever. From that moment onward, emotions became weakness in his eyes.
He built his empire through violence, fear, and control.
Nobody questioned him twice.
Nobody survived doing it.
Dante trusted almost no one in the world except the man who stood beside him through every war and every murder—
Luca Moretti.
Dante believed love was a weakness.
Until one girl walked into his world and made him feel something dangerous enough to destroy him.
Kiara Shah.
And Dante Marino had never been good at letting things go.
LUCA MORETTI
Age: 26
Luca Moretti was Dante Marino’s right hand.
The calm behind the chaos.
Where Dante ruled through fear, Luca ruled through silence.
Sharp-minded, observant, and dangerously patient, Luca handled the business, secrets, money, and cleanup behind the empire Dante controlled.
People underestimated him because he smiled more.
That was their biggest mistake.
Because Luca was just as dangerous as Dante—
maybe worse.
Unlike Dante’s explosive rage, Luca’s darkness was controlled. Quiet. Calculated.
He noticed everything.
Remembered everything.
And once something became his obsession…
he never let it go.
Luca never expected a girl to become his weakness.
Especially not a soft-hearted college student who looked at the world like it still had goodness left in it.
But Kiara Shah changed everything.
And soon—
the two most dangerous men in Milan would become obsessed with the same girl.
