Heart of stone

Heart of stone

Mafia
5.0
The story begins with Alessandro Volta, a powerful man, respected and feared throughout the criminal world. At the head of a mafia empire, he rules over the darkest neighborhoods of the city. His heart is as cold as stone, and he has never believed in love. In his eyes, emotions are a weakness. Loyalty is bought with fear, and he has never allowed a single person to get close to him. He is a master of manipulation, control, and vengeance. All who cross his path know one thing: he never forgives. Vengeance is his fuel, and love is a concept he rejects. One day, during a visit to a neighborhood that is not part of his usual haunts, Alessandro meets Livia, a young poor woman, indifferent to his aura of power. She lives in misery, but she is fiercely independent, proud, and refuses to submit to anyone, even a man as powerful as him. Livia is not afraid of him, does not waver under his piercing gaze, and, on the contrary, seems to almost challenge him with her detached attitude and hardness. That day, Livia publicly humiliates Alessandro. Perhaps she refuses one of his proposals, or she unexpectedly criticizes him for the injustice he embodies. She hurls words at him that he has never heard from someone so insignificant in the eyes of all. This awakens in him an uncontrollable rage, but also a fascination. How does such an insignificant woman dare to act this way in front of him? Furious and vexed by the humiliation, Alessandro decides to take revenge, but he does not stop there. He wants her to become his wife. Not out of love, but to subdue her, to prove to her that he can have her as he wishes, and for her to be the center of his power. He abducts her, forces her to marry him under threat, and places her in a world where she has no escape. Livia finds herself trapped in a gilded cage, and her heart is filled with hatred, but also with fear and confusion. Will Livia be able to endure and submit to Alessandro for long? Or will Alessandro end up killing her with his own hands because she will always be unbearable in his eyes? Discover all the answers in my story; I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!
