In the city of Ashwood, where the streets whispered secrets and the night hid truths, the Moretti family ruled with an iron fist. For generations, they had built their empire on loyalty, power, and bloodshed. But when Don Marco Moretti, the ruthless patriarch, was found dead in his mansion, the very foundations of the family began to crumble. The once-unshakeable Moretti dynasty was now on the brink of collapse, as the vultures circled and the rats scurried for cover. The time of reckoning had come, and the shadows would claim their own. In this world of treacherous allegiances and deadly rivalries, one man would rise to claim his birthright. Alessandro "Alex" Moretti, a former soldier and the rightful heir, would have to navigate the treacherous landscape of his family's legacy to become the new Don. But at what cost?

Chapter 1 The Heir

THE SHADOW DON

Chapter 1: The Heir

In the city of Ashwood, where the streets whispered secrets and the night hid truths, the Moretti family ruled with an iron fist. For generations, they had built their empire on loyalty, power, and bloodshed. But when Don Marco Moretti, the ruthless patriarch, was found dead in his mansion, the very foundations of the family began to crumble.

Alessandro "Alex" Moretti stood at the edge of his father's grave, the cold rain soaking through his clothes. The former soldier had returned to Ashwood to claim his birthright as the new Don. His father's legacy was one of loyalty, power, and bloodshed.

Victor, Alex's uncle, approached, a false smile on his face. "Alex, my boy, welcome home." Alex's instincts screamed warning. Victor had always been a snake, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. "I'm not here to make friends, Victor," Alex said. "I'm here to claim what's mine." Victor's smile faltered, revealing a glimmer of ruthless ambition. The once-unshakeable Moretti dynasty was now on the brink of collapse, and the shadows would claim their own.

His uncle, Victor, had already begun to consolidate power, whispering lies and half-truths to the family's loyalists. Alex's own sister, Sophia, seemed torn between loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for Victor's son, Michael.

As the funeral ended and the mourners dispersed, a figure emerged from the shadows. Maya Ramos, a mysterious and deadly assassin, watched Alex with an intensity that made his skin prickle. What did she want from him?

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
