A man she kissed. A man who turns out to be her new stepbrother, Alessandro De'Luca. What started as a forbidden spark quickly turns into a consuming fire. Alessandro, a brooding billionaire CEO, has secrets of his own-and a growing obsession with the girl he was never supposed to touch. But beneath the passion simmers betrayal, deception, and a cruel bet that could destroy everything between them. When Isabel discovers she's pregnant, her world begins to collapse. The only person she trusts-her best friend Jenna-betrays her in the worst way imaginable.

Or will they lose each other forever in the aftermath?

Luciano Moretti-a ruthless billionaire mafia don known for bloodshed, dominance, and cold, calculated power. Trapped in a forced marriage, Alina enters Luciano's dark world, a place where freedom is an illusion and love is weakness. He must have her at all cost because her late mother, Elena, was his first love. He never stopped loving her. And that obsession crosses over to Alina. At first, she resists him. He's her captor. Her enemy. But as days turn into weeks, obsession takes root on both sides. Luciano sees a fire in Alina he never expected-and it both enrages and intoxicates him. He wants to own her, but she refuses to be broken. Her spirit pushes him to the edge. Their war turns into a dangerous dance of temptation, desire, and emotional unraveling. Just as fragile trust begins to form between them, a shadow from Luciano's past returns: Vera Cruz-his ex-lover and the cold-blooded queenpin of a rival cartel. Fueled by jealousy and ambition, Vera orchestrates Alina's kidnapping, threatening not only their lives but everything they've built. Luciano's world spirals into chaos as he fights enemies from all sides-including within himself. He takes a bullet for Alina, and during her desperate fight to save him, their love transforms into something undeniable. As blood is spilled and loyalties are tested, Alina must choose: escape and reclaim her life-or stay and claim a kingdom by Luciano's side. In the end, it's not just about love-it's about power, sacrifice, and the freedom to choose her own destiny. The story closes with Luciano's perspective as he reflects on how Alina changed him. In the epilogue, Alina opens her art gallery, showcasing a centerpiece painting titled "The Devil Who Loved Me."
