Luna Hayes accidentally saved Liam Moretti, the heir to Ravenwood's largest mafia family.
People whispered his name with fear. They said he was merciless, ruthless, a devil in business… and even worse in bed.
Yet this very man would kneel to help Luna put on her heels, afraid to hurt her. In bed, he was always gentle with her—so much so that he kept a sex slave just to satisfy his darker desires.
But everything changed the moment Liam decided to let that slave carry his child.
...
Luna Hayes was once the luckiest woman in Ravenwood. After all, she'd saved the heir of the city's most powerful mafia empire—Liam Moretti.
After taking over the family business, Liam spoiled her endlessly.
He married her with a lavish ceremony. When he learned she loved roses, he spent millions creating a private rose garden estate just for her.
As the most feared man in the criminal underworld, Liam had a notorious reputation. Women who slept with him often couldn't walk for days.
But with Luna, he was different—gentle, careful. He once told her he couldn't bear to see her hurt, so instead, he kept a sex slave locked in the basement to release his lust.
Even when it came to having a baby, Liam had a plan—he would use the slave as a surrogate.
Holding Luna in his arms, he comforted her. "Baby, Elena is just a tool for childbirth. As soon as the baby is born, she'll disappear from our world."
Luna looked deeply into his eyes, saw the sincerity there, and agreed.
Until Liam began spending every day with Elena Rossi. The house was filled with her moans and screams. He ignored Luna completely, even on their third wedding anniversary.
That night, Luna waited until midnight… and then heard noises from the basement.
Liam was immaculate in his tailored suit, a picture of control—while beneath him, Elena lay naked, her skin flushed as she endured his almost feral thrusts.
"Tell me! Why did you run?" he growled, yanking at the collar around Elena's neck—one engraved with his own name in gold.
